Benicassim 2015 July 16th - 17th - 18th & 19th

Surely Kasabian have gotta be considered as potential headliners? They're in Benidorm the weekend after playing Low Festival with The Drums

Oh man. I've seen faithless and prodigy so many times.

Dream available additions would be;

Radiohead, Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men, Marika Hackman, Haley Bonar, Jose Gonzalez, pinkshinyultrablast, War On Drugs, Beck, Placebo, Chemical Brothers, Pan-Pot, Modeselektor/Moderat, Jon Hopkins, Maceo Plex, Green Velvet, Rone, Caribou, Sia, CHVRCHES, ALVVAYS, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

If they can get 3 or 4 of them then i don't care who else plays

Would you not want to see faithless and the prod again then ?

[Gingerlord]

They're good like but would like to see something else. Not complaining that Prodigy have been announced but Faithless too would be too much like Creamfields in the early naughties

[gedkelly]

I could watch them both every night of the week . Would love to see the chemical brothers get announced though , and placebo , slaves , royal blood

[Gingerlord]

Thought I'd throw some speculation in.

The Chems are in Dublin on 19th. Unlikely

Mumford and Sons are at Bilbao BBK 9-11th. Possible

War on Drugs in Barcelona 7th then nothing until August when they're in Oslo. Strong chance

Sia not touring. Unlikely

Radiohead are suppose to be in the studio. Unlikely

CHVRCHES are at Coachella but nothing else announced. Possible

Beck is touring the US up to May. Dunno if they could land such a big act. Unlikely

Of Monsters And Men are in Barca on 10th and Bilbao on 11th. Strong Chance

[giantwagon]

Mumford and Sons are at Bilbao BBK 9-11th. Possible

Wrong. Mumford & Sons playing BBK Bilbao means that they won't be at beni.

They did it last year

They're good like but would like to see something else. Not complaining that Prodigy have been announced but Faithless too would be too much like Creamfields in the early naughties

With Prodigy/Portishead confirmed, I think Chems/Faithless re unlikley. However neither would be that unwelcome if announced

Thought I'd throw some speculation in.

War on Drugs in Barcelona 7th then nothing until August when they're in Oslo. Strong chance

Of Monsters And Men are in Barca on 10th and Bilbao on 11th. Strong Chance

Of M&M/Chvrches both very plausible imo. I can see Beck happening actually, one of the few major European festivals I think he'd suit. War on Drugs could happen.

Black Keys is my bet for the next headliner

[wedgie]

Black keys are at primavera so I doubt they'll be at beni

[giantwagon]

Could someone give me an indication as to how long the journey on the official bus service is from Barcelona airport to the festival?

Interesting;

http://entertainment.ie/music/news/Irish-festival-favourite-Trenchtown-heads-to-Spanish-festival-Benicassim-this-year/339624.htm

you've been to Electric Picnic, you'll be aware that Trenchtown is one of the areas where the party never really stops.

It seems that other international festivals have cottoned on to its fun-time vibes and are getting in on the act, as Trenchtown Irieland will make its debut at FIB Benicassím this year from July 16th - 19th.

The Irish-founded reggae, ska, dub and dancehall-themed arena will host four stages at the Spanish festival; The ‘Yard’ Live Stage, Treasure Beach, Roots Arena & the Kingston 12 Café will all feature some big names on the international reggae scene.

Other acts announced for FIB Benicassím include Florence and the Machine, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Portishead, Public Enemy and The Prodigy.

The below video will give the hitherto uninitiated an idea of what Trenchtown brings to a festival.

[Gingerlord]

4 hours

[giantwagon]

4 hours

Cheers

[robMUFC96]

I saw the 4 hours and got excited for another lineup announcement, don't tease me like that!

[wedgie]

Libs playing Ibiza rocks on July 22nd (which I'm really pissed off about as I've already booked to go to maga straight from so I'll miss it) and a few people commenting about FIB on the announcement but surely they won't play it 2 years in a row. I'd love them to though

???

[Toto Schillaci]

Snoop was announced for Kendal Calling last night and he has a date in Denmark on 24th. With Public Enemy already announced I think it would make perfect sense to have him on.

[giantwagon]

Think snoop is possible, yeah.

Anyone have any idea when the next announcement might be?

[DezP91]

Libertines, and Kasabian announced for Low festival in Benidorm 24th, 25th, 26th July.

[JtFl]

http://www.nme.com/news/the-libertines/82984

4th paragraph of this article says libertines are back at beni this year, what do we reckon? a mistake from nme or we've got libs headlining again?

[wedgie]

Surely a mistake, hope they are though

[louiec96]

Blur apparently set to announce a new album today! Any chance of them putting in an appearance? http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/are-blur-set-to-announce-a-new-album-today?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=blur

[JtFl]

and T in the park have a big announcement today if they announce blur id say we could see them at beni too

[Gingerlord]

Love when publications slip up.

Not a huge Libs fan but would be decent.

[giantwagon]

Blur would make this set of headliners 100x better my word. Mustn't get hopes up though because we'll probably get The Vaccines. (Which, admittedly, wouldn't be too bad, but you get what I mean)
