Do you know if you can buy them at the festival for the shuttle busses going to operesa del mar?

I'm not certain you can, as the Oropesa buses aren't 'official' shuttle services run on behalf of the festival (like a Castellon shuttles and routes in and around Benicassim are), but by a separate local organisation - Danes.

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

Good time to get a beer and a kebab, in that 15 mins Gregory, especially if you're in the festival for 10+ hours each night.

Saw Blossoms supporting stone Roses couple of weeks back and thought they were alright.

Imo Deadmaus only done a couple of good tracks but maybe with his helmet and light show I might be proven wrong!

Will check out Sherlocks but assuming they sound similar to Blossoms etc..... Cheers for recommendations though!

I'm partial to a bit of James vincent mcmorrrow.

 

Also south beach pool party is good for killing time

Heu, does anyone know any alternative to the shuttle bus to get BACK to operesa del mar from the festival early hours in the morning? Will public transport be running? How much will a taxi be? I don't fancy spending €60 on a shuttle bus service that has crap reviews! Thanks everyone

Yeah, I'm the same with deadmau5 to be honest. Going more the show than the songs. Sherlock's are similar to he Courteeners if you like then

Guys I know that people have asked a few times about costs. And I have been looking through but Im still not sure. Myself and my girlfriend are going and we have about €1300/€1400 between us for the full 8 days. Should that be enough for food and drink? We have transport and all that kind of stuff already paid for so it is literally just for food, drink, waterpark etc. and even at that we will prob only drink on the nights of the festival.

Temples and Blossoms are my two favourite new guitar bands from this decade, so Friday looking great for me, other than there's a slight clash between them.

Taxi shouldn't really be much more than about €12-€15, but you could have a 90 minute plus wait for one, between 2am-5am, based on recent years. There's a massive taxi queue, and you just wait your turn for them to come along. First public bus from Beni town to Oropesa is about 7.30am, so not ideal.  I'd still say shuttle bus could be your best option, but haven't seen any bad reports.

Just in case anybody was looking for a clashfinder...

A long shot, but we're flying into Barcelona and getting the train from Sants to Beni. We've a few hours to between our flight landing and our train to Beni. 

Has anyone ever bought tents in Barcelona and brought them down to Beni? I've googled it and there are some camping shops near Sants but your paying €60 for the cheapest one and you don't need a waterproof/bear proof tent for a festival. 

A more general question, would they sell tents in Barcelona supermarkets?

Not a great deal of use but I met a friend who had spent a week in Barca at Benicassim in 2015. We had bought us both a pop up tent for about 40 euros each in Barcelona. Not sure where but they are available.
