As from today you can buy through the FIBERFIB web, the new airport transfer service to Alicante, Barcelona, Castellon, Reus and Valencia to the  Marina D´or resort in Oropesa. Good news for the 1000´s of fibbers that every year stay at the Oropesa holiday resort 11 km from Benicassim.

And........... maybe the best news for all the visitors of the FIB staying at Oropesa, we are proud to announce the Shuttle service (after 8 years, "danespfib" in conjunción with mediterraneo holidays) it is NOW the OFFICIAL FIB Shuttle service and will drop and pick you up from the INSIDE AREA, just 20/30 meters from the gates.

The shuttle service will have THREE departure points for the areas of Marina Dor - La Concha Beach - Playa de Morro de Goss  (full information will be found in the danespfib website)  also available or purchase through the FIBERFIB web

Just found out I'm staying in the Costa Azahar Apartments. Anyone stayed here before, what they like and is there anything of interest in the vicinity.

Cheers

Yep, it was tongue in cheek, of course it will be amazing, the rest of the lineup will offer at least 5-6 more acts we want to see and as usual it will be an epic week!

I don't remember them ever doing it on a Friday. If we've not heard anything by midday Thursday that usually means all the hope and excitement starts again for next week!

Ride are playing England on Friday and Chicago on Sunday so by default they will almost certainly be on Thursday at FIB. Any other acts we can put to a day?

Foals have put 14th July (Friday) on their website against Benicassim. Its not as if they just thought that was the first day of the festival either because they've also noted it's (13-16.7).

Hey wondering if someone could shed some light on a query.

First time going to Benni this year, few mates went last year, they said that the coach from Alicante to Benicassim was the only bad part of the whole trip! So we're looking to travel on the train instead, mate said he had a butchers online and seen something like 1st class for 20 euro but wasn't completely sure.

Just wondering if we have to book before hand or can just pay when we get on, prices and what the train is like, in terms of how busy they get.

Cheers!

Book in advance, as soon as it goes on sale, to get the cheapest rail tickets for this journey. Just bear in mind, if you do it this way, you have the inconvenience of getting from Alicante airport to train station in the city centre, then you have to take the train (2/3hrs), and then upon arrival walk to the festival site from Beni station, so it's a bit of faffing about. The shuttle bus, on the other hand, will take you straight from airport terminal to close to the festival site.  If you have an early flight from U.K. and you're up at 3am-4am on the way out, it might be the last chance of getting a few decent zzz's on the shuttle coach transfer, if it connects well with your flight arrival, as the journey time overall is not too much different. Enjoy the festival. It's always a great week/weekend

So, more names this week!

 

Final headliner and 10(ish) names I would say? Any guesses?

Hoping for Stone roses, could be strokes though?

[AAlex]

Personally I think the big names are there, but I'm happy to be surprised. I think Imagine Dragons or Lana Del Ray with Chance being a slight possibility. Only thing that makes me think it might be a big name is why would they leave the smaller Thursday name until last? 

Im happy with the line up so far but would love Royal Blood, Editors, Cribs, Circa Waves etc. To be added! Out the 13 announced so far I'll see 10 happily so I am very optimistic! 

[Nesser]

Last year's the announcement was "this week more names and day-by-day line-up". Since there are no words about the latter I wouldn't be so sure they're gonna announce the last headliner.
