Can' see arctic monkeys playing benicassim now as doubt they do 3 Spanish festivals in a year (I fully expect them to be at mad cool)

[Jancker19]

Still have some very personal hopes for one of Vampire Weekend/Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Beck on FIB

[jarx1]

AM apparently all but confirmed for Primavera Sound, Best Kept Secret, Rock Werchter, Open'er, Nos Alive,Mad Cool and Sziget ... Without them in the lineup Benicassim looks very weak . Who else could they get as they clearly need another massive headliner?

Quality line up, but you come to expect that with Primavera, every year. It always has one of the best line ups, musically.  It’s a completely different type of festival and experience to Benicassim though. Much more music orientated, other than a holiday and festival combined in the same week. Horses for courses!

Shuttle bus to castellon then taxi to vila-Real or taxi straight to Vila-Real probably only options unless you wait for trains to start running in the morning..you'll probably be able to get to Beni during the day on the train

Thanks! Thought that may be the case, can see it taking a while :-( always found the taxis to be sparse around there

Eminem doing two nights at Twickenham in July, so I reckon that's another headliner right there

Is them gigs confirmed? If he' around in July it's possible but could be doubtful seeing as Travis Scott already headlining

Any idea when they to be announced if he's not at benicassim might head along to them before/after the festival.

If he is the missing headliner would explain the delay in announcing him as has no European dates offically announced yet and will probably want to do a big announcement with all the dates at the 1 go (similar to what' planned for arctic monkeys)

It seems that Eminem will be announced for Roskilde today

Definitely won't be AM.

[stoylesey]

Arctic Monkeys this morning confirmed their festival dates, doesn't look good...

[DRH0503]

Looks like my AM hopes are dead then...

[jack12895]

Would take Stereophics with libs/kooks as sub headliner. Think that would be fairly realistic

[mbee123]

Gutted to miss out on AM,  I know he's been mentioned before but Jamiroquai is in Europe in July, got to be a possibility....

 

[systm]

My predictions (& hopes):
Franz Ferdinand
The Kooks
MGMT

Long shot (& hopes):
Malhu Maghalhaes (would be so happy)
Parov Stelar
Wombats

Other predictions:
Next Headliner will probably be Gorillaz (meh personally)

Eminem only one that now makes sense. Embargo'd european festivals until twickenham dates sold out?

Only 2 festivals, Roskilde and some in Austria (?).

I'd be very surprised at the kooks in a sub slot. Although I'd enjoy watching them for nostalgia purposes, I don't think they've been 'big' for years.

Great... who the hell is FIB gonna end up with

[Ovechkin]

hmmm what about Bruno Mars? He got 2 gigs in Barcelona and Madrid in june which may be a reason for not announcing him already, he's headlining roskilde and opener and is totally free after the gigs in england in mid july.

I’m leaning towards Bruno or Eminem; but we’ve got a couple of solo acts already on the headline slots!
