Lost respect for you Muzzy

Careers gone downhill since 2003, gotta do what I can to pay the bills these days.

A guy asked FIB on twitter when we can expect a new announcement and they replied with "in the next days!"

[Mokes]

Ok we'll go back to that opening line.

If you want to use the UK festival in Spain excuse, then Biffy Clyro would headline and you shouldn't question it, but you will.

I'm not saying Weller is massive outside the UK, I'm saying he's miles bigger than Jarvis Cocker though, especially in the UK.

I question Biffy Clyro as a headliner because they suck. Even as headliners in the UK they are weak. I have no doubt that should they play Beni they would headline, purely because Beni could get away with it because of the British crowd. It doesn't make them a good choice. Put them pink pop or Rock wercheter and look at them. Put them in the states or Aus and you need 20/20 vision to read their name on the poster.

That's great that Weller is bigger in the UK then Jarvis, also totally irrelevant.

In the rest of the world he is definitely more comparable in size to Jarvis then he is to Morrissey.

Holmesylad terrific news

Read back through the comments Laurie. I wasn't disagreeing with anyone. Muzzy went off on an irrelevant tangent, so I went with him.

the Strokes just announced a date for FYF festival in August. Chance of a Beni appearance grows

[Toto Schillaci]

Strokes, Kasabian and Libs looks very strong! I wouldn't care where Tinie is on the poster if those 3 are the headliners.

[muflon]

And albert hammond jr. plays at FYF festival too! Hopefully julian won't be lazy and he will come to europe too.

[marr1986]

Reckon there could be an announcement tomorrow or Thursday? Ticket prices go up tomorrow, albeit by 10 euro. Just a theory.

I'm actually enjoying Benicassim basically panic buying acts. Libertines were certainly a panic buy and are such a coup so I think they will do the same again in the next few days and announce Eminem. To be honest, I went last year and when I look at the line up, there were 12 acts I actually wanted to see (I saw 16/17 in the end) whereas this year there are 17 acts I'll quite happily go and watch! Can't wait!

[harold08]

Also, I don't think they will get the Strokes, nor Morrisey. I'd like to see Haim or Royal Blood there though and they surely don't cost that much?

What happened to Prince? Heard that he doesn't like announcing dates till 7 weeks before the event on the glasto forum. On thursday, it's 7 weeks exactly till Beni!

High hopes!

[SteveGuppy]

Already got high hopes mate, Kodaline are playing.

One of the Beni investors tried to sue him 2.2 million for not turning up to a sold out show in Ireland or something, so everyone's kinda ruled him out.

[Nolberto Solano]

Is there really any chance of Albert Hammond Jr AND The Strokes playing at the same festival?

I can only imagine that it would piss AHJ off, especially when he's trying to have a successful solo career himself?

Also on Eminem, I thought he brilliant at Leeds last year, albeit I was pretty out of my mind, but still loved his show.

Albert hammond jr. plays at FYF festival solo and with strokes I wrote it on the page before.

Oh my bad, fingers crossed for The Strokes then

[SteveGuppy]

Can we go a poxy page without mentioning the poxy Strokes?

[Muzzy Izzet]

Oh my bad, fingers crossed for The Strokes not playing then

[gedkelly]

i've been unlucky enough to see the Strokes twice and they were shit both times everyone stood around waiting for them to play Last Nite

[gedkelly]

We'll give more names, but we can't say more. we're telling you all the truth. But, we can't talk about headliners, really.

just in from FiB , i pm them on fb

[Muzzy Izzet]

Caught about 5 minutes of them at Reading in 2011, awful, really don't deserve to be headliners anymore outside of the US.

Last album was naff aswell.

Looks like they're trying to get headliners but are struggling.
