Trk Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 First headliner was announced on tuesday Been there previous years and planning on going again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) I'm considering this! Obviously the festival is cheap, but what about drinks/food etc once you get in? Reasonable? I read a bunch of good reviews about this festival this year... & I'm kind of hoping Radiohead might play this time around as they did NOS but not BBK this year and are touring again. Likelihood?

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Would anyone recommend this festival? Just checked out the price which is amazing (was going to buy a ticket for Depeche Mode in London but for another £30 I can see them and get a three day festival in), the location looks cool and it's a city I've never visited before. Flights are reasonable too. Any tips? Things to look out for? Pros? Cons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Routledge Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I went a couple of years ago and had a blast there! Music doesn't start until later in the afternoon so it's a good reason to explore Bilbao. Bare in mind it's a bus from the campsite down the mountain to the festival (or a long trek if you feel up to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather sometimes is shit and is not easy going and leaving the site, due to the long queues for shuttle buses. Bilbao is an ugly industrial city and people is not so open as in the rest of Spain. I prefer Primavera, Mad Cool or Resurrection Fest. Even FIB is much better for me than BBK Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks @johnybegoodand @lightsnowpatrol, I've noticed that about the weather in the pictures and videos. Maybe I'll have a rethink and check out NOS, loved Lisbon when I was there earlier this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamMcMillen Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm going to this after Open'er in Poland. Any tips from people who have been before? And any rumours? I've heard Coldplay as the final headliner but not sure they'll be doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
