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

[louiec96]

Just looking at the line-up from last year, can anyone tell me who headlined the other stages? Cheers!

[giantwagon]

I'm not sure, but from this it looks as though The 1975, Example and The Courteeners headlined second stage last year

[giantwagon]

Seeing as we're now looking at what to expect on the undercard, I'll throw in my wishlist of bands who are, at least, possible:

The Cribs

Drenge

Public Service Broadcasting

Will Butler

The Vaccines

Darlia

Interpol

Few questions about transport in and around beni...

are there any shuttle buses that are regular? On the FIB website it seems like i can only come in at a chosen time in the day and then i'm stuck there untill the shuttle bus comes at the end of the day..

If the shuttle buses are restricted like that, does anyone know how much a taxi into Castellon would cost?

You're looking at the wrong list mate, shuttle buses run every 10 minutes or so, so you can go to town and the beach, spend the day there then come back for music at night for like €3. I tend to walk it though, takes the same amount of time and is lovely.

hey, just wondering if day tickets are on sale yet as they're not coming up as an an option on ticketmaster etc

.... thanks

[wedgie]

Anyone reckon we could get some more names with the winner of that competition that they're doing?

EDIT: Competitions haha, both the competition for small Spanish bands to play and the draw for VIP tickets announced on monday

Any chance of Mike Skinner showing his face?

[jackfg]

omg Ben hi

[Michael The Work Geordie]

Going back for the first time since '11; Blur sealed it. Not mad keen on the Kaiser Chiefs but think they'll be a great fit, likewise Clean Bandit.

Can't wait to hear Jamie T crack out If You Got the Money at 4 AM.

The walk really isn't that long and would probably spare you the disappointment of not being able to get on an in-demand bus, man. Talking 15-20 minutes tops to get to the centre of town at a reasonable pace. The walk back to the campsite as the sun is setting a bit and everyone's drinking doesn't really feel like a chore, just try to avoid walking to town in the midday heat...

Except I think his question is about getting to and from Castellon, which does make a big difference. Taxi there will be around EUR 15 maybe - probably more at night though.

[wedgie]

Just been looking at the superbock superrock line up for this year and unsurprisingly we're sharing quite a few acts again, would like to see vaccines, Bombay bicycle club, Palma violets and the drums added from there. Loads of undercard names I want to see come up and I'm not sure why they're so hesitant to announce the rest of the line up, hoping to hear some new names soon

[wedgie]

Oh and surely swim deep are nailed on seen as though they're playing that FibMaster thing whatever it is, expecting maybe 15 more known names yet and then plenty more fillers to make up the rest of the line up.

[Toto Schillaci]

Charlatans

Ahaaaa yeah, I'm a weapon.

Swim Deep would be superb, would love JAWS too - expecting a few bands of that ilk, maybe Wolf Alice as well.

[muvvagoosery]

The War On Drugs? chances?

[andytommo]

Wolf Alice are playing Latitude on Sat night, and also played Beni last year, so I'd say their chances are remote.

[Gingerlord]

I just want 'Of Monsters And Men'

I wouldn't care about the rest then. Just smile thtough a Sangria soaked haze.

[calumhandy1]

Does anyone know when the train tickets are available from Barcelona to the festival?!

Usually 3 months before, you can book European rail tickets, so in about 3 weeks time

[calumhandy1]

Ahh great thanks any chance you know where the best place to get the from is?!

[abbeyb]

You can get them from the renfe website, although last year it would not accept any of my cards for some reason which was a bit of a hassle. We ended up getting our train tickets from voyages-scnf.com instead. It was a bit more expensive but easier to book without any dodgey translations.

Agree, I buy EU rail tickets on a regular basis, including Barca-Benicassim last year, and always use voyages-sncf. Totally reputable, and easy to use website

[CJTM]

The War On Drugs? chances?

Possible. Playing T In The Park the week before, seem to share a few with them

[CJTM]

If we are going off possible acts we could share with TITP could pick a few from:

The War On Drugs

The Cribs

Prides

Twin Atlantic

Circa Waves

Charli XCX

Catfish & Bottlemen
