Benicassim 2013!

[LEOH35]

Hi guys, how strict are the shops, supermarkets and bars on ID and underage drinking. All of us will be underage and are going for the music but a 'little' bit of alcohol would be much better! Cheers!

[ThornyITFC]

Its pretty lenient, I was 16 when I went last year and no one bothered about buying drinks. Even in the festival with underage wristbands they didn't bat an eyelid.

[LEOH35]

Cheers, is it worth getting fake Ids just to make sure??

[ThornyITFC]

Nah man, 100% you'll be fine. The supermarkets are the safest bet though

[LEOH35]

Brilliant! Cheers mate, absolutely buzzing for tuesdays announcement. All my mates are going to Reading but a group of us cba with it as it will be like a school trip!

The Who were meant o be making some announcement at some point today I think; maybe festival dates...

(I have no idea where I heard this though. Plus I can't find anything on the Internet about it, which sort of leads me to believe that I made it up. We shall see though.)

No, you only give a fuck about yourself darlin'

or is that 'too terrible' ?

Benicassim isn't a UK festival.....

[lauralol]

No she's got a point. If you've been to any UK fest in the last five years, you'd have seen Kasabian. It's pretty fucking hard to ignore them. Meanwhile, Snoop has rarely played UK fests in that time. Demonstrates who the average booking are, doesn't mean Kasabian are musically bad though, as its possible to be subjective about festival bookings.

[SwedishHouseFurniture]

Everyone stop arguing, otherwise I'll turn this thread around and there'll be no Benicassim for anyone.

But yeah... I'm not too keen onit being Kasabian either...

[Lovethatsht]

how sick would Blink be as the last headliner... any chance of that ?

I'd quite like Florence to get in nice and late aswell + maybe Macklemore / Ryan Lewis

- Not bands i normally listen to, but bands i know are incredible live (especially florence)

on that nope i suppose we should be expecting a good couple of dance type acts being announced?

although get Foals/Phoenix/Bloc Party and i'll be the happiest guy around

They need to book James

[davywalsh7]

Is there def an announcement tomorrow? And is it def kasabian? Hope we get the dance acts and stronger undercard as it a bit bare at the min. Just had a quick look through to see who's touring/available/no Spanish date. Not saying they'll def play r that i want them too but they're possible:

Beady eye, stereophonics, Calvin Harris, David guetta, foals, modest mouse, of monsters and men, villagers, yeah yeah yeahs, atoms for peace, the prodigy, bloc party, Laurent garner, snoop dogg, ash, johnny marr, deadmau5.

Anyone else hear any other rumours? Hope we get a big announcement tomorrow as in 4th headliner, dance acts and main stage subbing acts.

[cbrown123]

they have already ruled foals out. i can see beady eye playing and possibly atoms for peace

[davywalsh7]

That's a pity about foals. They would have been excellent!

[NorthCountryMod]

They need to book James

[Lovethatsht]

need to see Foals somewhere this year.. anywhere

i spoke to Saul Davies recently and mentioned Benicassim. He said James are touring this year and he seemed like he quite fancied Beni... Donno if thats just wishful thinking on my part, but anything is possible i guess ahaha

[cbrown123]

i'm holding you personally responsible if they don't play

[LEOH35]

Hahaha, fingers crossed.

[cbrown123]

Does anyone know what time the announcement is coming?

[lauralol]

It's weird that they haven't tweeted about the announcement today, makes me think there isn't one. I'm sure last year they said something like "more acts tomorrow at 12pm"?

[KrisMalta]

BBK Bilbao just announced theirs...

Someone said that it would be posted on a day and it did a couple of weeks ago.. Hopefully it will be the same for today
