Which train station is best to catch them from?

Says on the pic. Barcelona Sants. Also known as Estacio Sants. 

Better hurry mate looks like only two left as others are going round houses taking over 12 hrs to get there.

I haven't been to benicassim since 2015 and I've got the blues this time around. With no Glastonbury on next year I really want to go back, regardless of lineup.

Theres no official announcement but do we think the super early bird usually at 85€ will go on sale Monday?

Is it too late to pick up coach tickets from LA concha in oropesa? Do we just go to one if the hotels and pick them up does anyone know?

We were just in the apartment last night, hoping there's something else we can do tonight are there any bars/clubs around the beach? Any recommendations please?

Last time I was there 2011. On the Wednesday there was a nightclub having  pre Benni party. This was an open air club next the water park. Sure there was a club in town, on the main street all the way down towards where the other campsite was. Doing a similar thing too.

Massive long shot here.... but has anyone in Oropesa found a green sony xperia z5 phone yesterday? I was in the bar right next to the station yesterday and i think i left it there...

Where are these €1 beers by the entrance?

Any recommendations for websites for villas within Beni next year? Aside from Airbnb and the like.

You were there too?! Was certainly an experience, I'll give it that

I ended up seeing it as more of a very good long weekend away with friends where the evenings were spent watching bands rather than in bars & clubs, but was definitely a blast!

I just had an absolutely amazing time, the music was great and I had so much fun. But to be honest I thought the festival itself was an absolute disgrace, it was so badly organised, the staff were all so rude, there was very little security in the areas. Then they started closing all the different paths and sending us all squished in the one way to/from the visa and main stage. 

There were so much drugs and it seemed to attract some of the worst people that British Society had to offer.My girlfriend had sat down with my drink as I went to the toilet, I got back, took up my drink (only my second one of the night) and drank it. Within a few minutes, I got extremely weak, disorientated and hadn't a clue where I even was. I had obviously been drugged. 

The shuttle buses between VillaCamp and the festival often had lines so long that I was quicker walking to the festival arena. Maybe the problem isnt the festival, maybe it is me? I usually go to festivals like Glastonbury, Electric Picnic & T in the Park which are a lot more expensive and so I am used to everything being of a higher standard.

Had a great week though I think if I ever went again I would avoid campfest like the plague. Not sure I could take much more of sleeping on hard rocky floor with zero shade.

How good are Foals though?

[TheFullShaboo]

6th year in a row and probably the best year! The amount of people staying in campfest seems to decrease each year mind, with glamping on the rise. Not really a surprise though when you see the state of the ground in some parts of campfest...

Roll on next year!

No I'm just making it up mate 

yeah I was there. Only booked it on the Monday after LG tweeted about going to a place called Benicassim. I looked it up saw the line up and saw most of my favourite bands were playing and thought fook I'm going. Left 2 days later. Then I found out it was in a beach resort. Had best time of me life, for an old man! Beat Glasto hands down this year. 9 days on the farm couldn't break me but 5 days at Beni pretty much did. Same again next year please!

Where can I find photos from the festival? There were so many photographers at every show, but everything I found is a couple of pics at facebook page and festival website.

Ive seen dozens from each day. From twitter I think then links to the official FB page where they are divided by the day, thu, fri, sat, sun. There's About 30 pics for each night.
