+  Die Antwoord, Biffy Clyro, Temples, Walk Off The Earth, El Guincho, Woods, Bigott & Ben Miller Band

 

[Tremousse]

89€ for this..

I find that it's the best european line-up in terms of price/bands balance. I've booked Hellfest months ago, which have also an awesome line-up, but if I have possibilities, I'll go there next year.

79€*

The Who, Editors, Garbage and more complete the line up, barring the addition of local bands.

Great line up.

Incredible line-up ! 

[johnybegood]

I paid 79€ for a 3 days festival with this amazing line-up. Best value for money ever

Might well be going to this. No day splits so far but I've had a look at a few bands dates and it looks like The Who will play the Thursday, the Prodigy most likely the Friday and NY the Saturday.

Confirmed days are

Thursday
The Who, Janes Addiction, Die Antwoord, The Strypes, Flume, The Kills, Mily Chance, Nothing But thieves

Friday
Temples, Stereophonics, Caribou, Twin Atlantic, 

Saturday
John Grant, Walk off the earth.

 

Although this may not be 100% as the dates that stated the Thursday could just mean the start of the festival. Fridays and Saturdays are right though.

They are releasing the day splits this thursday at 9pm (Spanish time)

Decent line up and definitely has potential. Thanks for the heads up (I haven't heard of this otherwise). Unfortunately I've got the Roses in Manchester and Glastonbury that week so can't really do it this year, but I've never been to Madrid and when i do go I will probably tie it in with this festival if they have lineups like that in the future

[pete76]

Lineup of the year and that price is a joke. Unfortunately probably will only go on Saturday to see Neil, then on Sunday off to Berlin to see Springsteen.

Was doing the same thing, we can also add Gary Clark Jr. on saturday

[DDave]

The cost of the tickets plus flights and hotel is the same as a glasto ticket for me.

Absolute No brainer.

Day splits

Booked this up last night with friends. £170 for return flights and full weekend ticket, best value of the summer IMO.

 

Biffy look to be subbing NY?

Unless, the black font is one stage, and grey another...or am I overthinking

There will be 5 stages + a 6th small stage for local bands not announced yet. 

So you have to split the bands in 5 stages.

The concerts will start at 6pm until 4am and the timetable will be released before the end of march.

Excellent. 

I know watching football tournaments gets a lot of bashing on here, but with England and ROI (being half/half) kicking off at 3pm local time during the festival, i'm really pleased with this.

[CJTM]

Top 5 we are looking forward to?:

Neil Young

Biffy Clyro

Twin Atlantic 

DIIV

Two Door Cinema Club
