Benicassim 2017

That's a bummer, I like Bon Iver, Local Natives, Grandaddy, Wild Beasts, a lot of that lineup actually. I wonder who'll headline then. Too many festivals in Spain in June/July, not enough bands!

Richard Ashcroft probably in with a shout for Thursday to cater for the ladsladslads

Where's the black keys rumour? 

[gregory]

This is floating about...

I'll be disappointed if the headliners are:

• Thursday Rudimental
• Friday Black Keys
• Saturday RHCP
• Sunday Stone Roses

...but if that screenshot is true, looks like that's what I'm stuck with

It's all about individual preference/likes, but personally I'd be delighted if these were the 4 x headliners.

Saw Wolf Alice at Nos Alive last year and they were bloody amazing! but coming back to FIB this year as even thought he line up for nos alive last year was amazing the setting doesn't even compare to FIB and Nos alive layout is horrendous and far too packed for the amount of people!

So what i am saying is at my old age (mid thirties) i would rather go to a festival that might not have the best line up compared to others but for location next to beach and great venue with lots of space and amazing people FIB is the one!

Well that's good man. I'm not going just for headliners anyway. Let's wait and see anyway

Screenshot is fake, wrong font for starters.
Wolf Alice are also playing Mad Cool a few days before so may be unlikely any way.

May just be the browser but it looks bigger, slightly bolder and different to me.

Anyway there is no reason why that page would be going around just yet - anyone can view the page source and edit html on a static page, or simply a photoshop job

Franz Ferdinand Spanish 2017 exclusive at Low Festival so we can rule them out.

Have to agree. Despite Black Keys and Roses being adding to RHCP being close to dream headliners for me the font does look a little off. Surely the next announcement will only contain one more headliner, so at most a page like this would only include those acts?

Roses do look virtually guaranteed if that photo Hinds posted wasn't edited, and judging by the image they'll be the next one announced?

It's going to be my first year at Beni next year and I must say after last years headliners, RHCP and Stone Roses would be a pleasant surprise.

Mackelmore and Imagine Dragons have got to be major contenders now.

Elbow playing Germany on the 14th July, any better?

[gedkelly]

Wonder if we will get an announcement before Xmas ?

[pigshair123]

Guns n roses are around europe at that time . .......though after reading 2010 I'm not sure melvin benn will ever book them again

[HappyWednesday]

The Roses must be favorites again for the next announcement now they've added more UK dates.

i'd be happy with that

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I'd imagine they're waiting for those Leeds dates to go on sale (and probably sell out?) before announcing

[DDave]

All ruled out.

[HappyWednesday]

Annoyed about LCD.  Had hoped for them as one of the headliners.  No chance they'll fly over I wouldn't have thought.

Mackelmore now playing in France on the sunday as well as Switzerland on the Wednesday. A shoe-in for the Friday at Beni now surely?
