Oggy, oggy, oggy - OI OI OI!

Oggy, oggy, oggy – OI OI OI!

One of Ireland’s favourite tunes is 15 years old this year, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate.

DJ Mark McCabe has confirmed that he will be appearing at Electric Picnic this summer, and he will be performing Maniac 2000 live for the first time in a decade.

The 2000 hit that summons up memories of teenage discos like no other song hit the number one spot in the Irish charts on its release and stayed there for a whopping ten weeks.

Earlier this year on the 15th Anniversary of its release, Maniac 2000 reached number one on iTunes Ireland again and re-entered the Irish Singles Chart.

On Saturday September 4th, Mark McCabe will perform a live set including the song – which also holds the accolade of being  Ireland’s fourth biggest-selling single of all time.
