Odds & Ends – Adam Lambert, Oxegen Festival & Deadmau5

Lambert Dust Up

Singer Adam Lambert probably isn’t the first musician you’d pick for artist most likely to get into a bar brawl, but the American Idol runner-up evidently let his fists do the talking in Helsinki, Finland.

Evidently Lambert and his boyfriend – Finnish “Big Brother” star Sauli Koskinen – were in a popular gay bar in Helsinki when the couple began fighting according to Detective Superintendent Petri Juvonen.

The rumble eventually moved out to the street where Lambert was reportedly arrested for allegedly hitting two people who tried to break up the fight. No weapons were involved and no one was seriously hurt, according to Juvonen.

Both men were released a few hours later. Word is no further action will be taken.

A Lack Of Oxegen In 2012

Oxegen, the annual three-day festival in Naas, Ireland, at Punchestown Racecourse will not take place again until 2013.

From the festival’s website:

“Oxegen, like Glastonbury, is taking a year off in 2012 and will be back July 2013. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas & Peaceful New Year. Keep Rockin’ in 2012 and we will see you in 2013.”

Past Oxegen lineups have included Coldplay, Eminem, The Black Eyed Peas, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Blur and Kings Of Leon.

“Mayor Goodman’s proclamation of ‘Deadmau5 Day’ is an important symbolic acknowledgement of this wildly popular entertainment form that has come to define the best in Las Vegas nightlife.”
