Yeah , I would like to know this too as planning on using my Halifax Clarity card, I see Visa is one of their sponsors so hoping they don't just accept visa!

I was using my Halifax Clarity card to buy my beer tokens two years ago so shouldn't be an issue.

Supermarkets are cheap. In 2015 I think 70cl Vodka was E3.50 or 4.50. A pack of 330ml beers was about E3.00.

In the arena a litre of beer was E9, same for spirit and mixer. Food in the arena is about E7-12 depending on what you get.

And 1 x token (€3) for a small beer, soft drink, or 500ml bottle of water.

Likely to be busy the first day mate. A couple of years ago we missed James because the first bus was full at Marina d'or. So I'd either get to marina d'or or get the train which is 5 minutes and a couple of quid. After the first day I think you should be ok

im assuming there is 2 buses right? 1 for Marina d'or and 1 for la concha beach? it would suck if its just the 1 bus that picks up at both locations, it will be full before it even gets to la concha

Possibly not lesser known but i had not heard of him until a couple of months back and that would be Kaytranada...... His album 99.9% is one my favourite albums that have bought in a long time!

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered for a 'Benidorm-style' beach resort to be built after top officials were left 'amazed' by the coastal town during a tour of Spain. 

A delegation of 20 officials from the ultra-secretive state enjoyed a fact-finding road trip earlier this month from the French border through Barcelona and Valencia to Alicante.

The trip was to gather inspiration for its own resort in Wonsan, a port city on the country's eastern coast,

The officials were said to be left unimpressed by Barcelona’s rich cultural attractions – but they were enthralled by Benidorm’s holiday parks, including the history-themed Terra Mítica amusement park.

According to a spokesman for the North Korean embassy in Madrid, the delegation was "amazed by the dimensions" of Benidorm's towers and holiday parks.

They added that the Marina d'Or enclosed tourism complex in Oropesa del Mar was the closest match to their plans in Wonsan, "aimed at the domestic and international markets

 

SEE IF ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR KIM WRONG-UN ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR US !!!

Some stupid fucking clashes. Why put 3 bands on at exactly the same time, only for 15 mins of nothing following? Happens so often.

Does anyone know if you can buy the shuttle bus tickets at the festival or do we HAVE to book online??

[Beefy]

You can buy shuttle bus tickets to the beach and back from the campsite at the festival.

Regarding smaller acts - not sure how small but Kolsch puts on a hell of a set if anyone likes house/techno music
