Benicassim 2013!

Get in!

Cheap headliner, bet QOTSA won't have cost too much, and Killers will probably command a decent price but not one of the costliest bands, therefore the remaining headliner should surely be quite a bit name and a big draw, I am guessing it will be more of a legend type performer rather than someone considered current.

Can imagine last year New Order and Florence being quite cheap and biggest chunk spent on Dylan and Stone Roses.

The killers are doing Wembley after having a very successful arena tour. I would say they are one of the most costly headliners around next summer. Same goes to the Arctic Monkeys would cost a fair bit. I would be very surprised to see a massive name for the last headliner. I would go for chase and status or someone like that.

Madness for the final headliner I'm going to guess

2 years ago when Arctic Monkeys headlined V they were co-headlining with Eminem who will have got most of the budget and Arctic Monkeys were a cheap-ish headliner to balance things out.

Still worth getting out of bed for!!

That would complete a perfect line up as far as I'm concerned! I have a feeling this new guy who has bought the festival has a very similar taste in music to me. If I see him knocking about I'll get him a pint!

[CP9]

Sorry I mean complete the headliners, not the line up as a whole*

[the salmon]

no, arctics wereheadlining the other day to Eminem. Make no mistake, Arctics will probably be the biggest draw to the British crowd. They are also very big in Spain.

[Luke Routledge]

Thats what I meant, Eminem cost a fortune, so AM were a cheap headliner for the other night to balance it out.......

Luke I think your confusing what bands would cost here and in europe.

I know I am being a bit of a fan boy but QOTSA but the killers and Arctic Monkeys are both massive bands. Beni always seems to try bring in the British festival goers as well.

[Vfestival_alan]

If I booked a hotel how far away is the nearest town ?

I really haven't a clue so if anyone can help me out

@vfestival Alan

your best to try get accomodation in benicassim itself if you can, we stayed in marina dor last year (bout 10min drive from fest) and was bit of a nightmare wit taxi qs at d end of d nite, d extra u spend on taxis/shuttle buses etc would nearly cover benicassim accomodation.

ive booked with these for this year http://www..com/b2c/index.php?page=pp_productos.php&tipo=1&codf=16&md=1&idioma=2

this is worth a look too http://4ufestival.eu/epages/ec1258.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/ec1258/Categories/FIB

def worth d extra few bob imo to b closer to the site as u can come and go as u please and have few cheaper drinks in apt if theres bands on u dont like as drinkin all night at the fest can b pricey if u cant sneak it in, plus if your paying for taxis your not gonna wanna b goin back and forth 2r3 times a night

hope this helps, if u wanna know anything else let me know

[Triptych]

ADVICE PLEASE! Has anyone here every got a group return coach to Benicassim? I'm looking at setting a few up from Glasgow, London and Manchester and was wondering what people views were, if they've tried it before and if they would do it again?!

Any advice appreciated masssively! x

[Triptych]

About time. Not sure why they bothered to hold them back just to announce them like this? Strange.

And thetime, it's more like 90%. The only spanish people in the campsites seemed to be dealers.

[St Gaz]

After 14 years of T in the park , at least the last four in pishing rain and mud , it was a big decision since T is on my doorstep but decided it was time to go and do something different and in the sun , so Beni here we come.

I take it the festival starts late and finishes late so when do the headliners come on ? How easy is it to smuggle drink in ? and how much of a walk is it to and from the fest to the town sober and slightly worse for wear ?

[branvan]

hey, has it changed THAT much? when I was there ten years ago, there were 95% people from spain and very very few brits and people from abroad

[aixa]

NOW there is 95% British and Irish and only about 5% from Spain
