Solid line up.

[mufc32]

I know it is difficult to appease everybody, but you can't argue with the quality of that line up. A nice mix between big established names alongside some good up and coming acts.

I've not seen quite a few of them before so looking forward to it.

Now that's an announcement! Almost worth waiting for.

[SwedishHouseFurniture]

Urgh. 1975, Catfish and Muse. Looks like im getting white-girl wasted.

[CJTM]

Lol, I booked KKB to play at my uni before...weird choice for FIB. Aren't any of this new lot playing Bilbao, Mad Cool, Nos or Prima?

Don't think Beni share acts with Bilbao BBK or Nos Alive. Have a feeling there is some crossover between them and Primavera, but not sure if I remeber that from somewhere or just made it up.

[wedgie]

There's a lot of big names in there and it's a good spread of acts to be fair! Shame about 1975, why won't they just go away hahaha have we still got another headliners to come? Or like another co headliner? I'm kinda confused as to who's headlining

[Hip Priest]

None of the acts confirmed for FIB 2016 are playing Primavera this year

No crossover at all this year.

Email from FIB today referred to Chemical Brothers as doing a headliner set, so I reckon that's all 4 now announced, closing the door the Stone Roses, Gorillaz, National, or anyone else.  I suppose it's the 'danciest' set of headliners ever for FIB, with Kendrick, Major Lazer & Chemicals, with really just 1 x guitar based headliner this year in Muse.

trying to figure out a cheap way of getting there

nothing leaps out at the moment

id rather avoid camping but what is it like there? chilled, noisy? and the shade situation

 

fly to Alicante and then back from Barcelona seems to be the cheaper option atm with the bus from Eufest for transfers

[yaniv297]

Oh man... how did Muse get there? and to think people talked about the Stone Roses...

Not only Muse headlined pretty much every major festival in 2015, now they're taking over the 2016 ones too? why don't they ever rest? (or at least make some non-horrible music again?).

Thank god I got my Primavera tickets in time...

I was referring to acts being shared because of contractual issues etc, not that would they share them anyway. Been twice before but will probably give it a miss this year

They do share acts with Nos Alive. Chemical Brothers are headlining there this year as did The Prodigy last year. Also the 1975 are playing both.
