I'm quite a big fan of hip hop and so certainly not adverse to a rap headliner, but to me Travis Scott is so far away from the best rappers out there at the moment. I know he's getting bigger and bigger in the States but I doubt most people going to Beni would know any more than 2 or 3 songs tops.

That said, I've just been googling reviews of his live shows (what else was I going to do while waiting for a haircut?) and they unanimously say he's a great performer who brings a lot of energy and the set design and special effects can be pretty spectacular, so I'm going to keep an open mind.

Beck as final headliner - 89%

Justice late night act - 89%

The early bird price finishes tomorrow. Does anyone have a rough idea of how much prices are likely to go up by? 

[Paulmcm1998]

Is an announcement likely soon since prices are going up?

So they could easily play FIB on 20th/21st/22nd???  Would make perfect sense, especially as both these festivals have shared acts in the past, other than if it wasn't for the little issue that Justice are playing Mad Cool the weekend before Beni, so it depends if they are 'exclusive' for the Madrid based festival.  Would cream my pants to see Justice doing the late night (3am-4.30am) main stage set on the Sun night, signing off the festival in style!!!

If it's anything like the last few years, the next announcement should be due mid-March, then a further big update end of April, with full/final line up announced in June

I hope you’re right, I had given up hope after seeing the super bock announcement. Do Mad Cool often make their acts “exclusives?” I don’t know much about that kind of stuff.

Sometimes, especially headlienrs - but it's mainly the fact of 'would an international band be back in Spain again the following weekend, for another festival'?  Last year, I think it was just Foals & Dinosaur Jr who played Mad Cool the week prior, and then also played Beni.  Mad Cool / BBK acts more likely to play NOS Alive in Lisbon, than Beni, as they all take place the weekend before FIB.  I'm sure there'll be 1 or 2 again this year, who play MC/BBK, then also play FIB, but subs/lower level acts, as opposed to headliners.  Justice could be one???

I hate (every year) this 5-6 week wait from Jan-Apr, as I'm just so impatient. Although putting into prospective, Primavera (2 months before FIB) have only announced their line up less than 2 weeks ago.  Then in the UK, Latitude and Reading/Leeds, still no announcements at all, same with Longitude in Ireland, and ditto Kendal Calling, Y Not, and many more.......

Yeah its brutal I'm still considering going to R&L as well. The wait for announcements has been unbearable this year 

[Vasodeagua]

The next announcement will be around 13-15 of February. A few bands will be shared with Mad Cool, Justice will be one of them.

Don't expect a big headliner for the remaining headliner slot. Something along last year's Foals-Deadmau5-Planetas.

Any substance behind that?

To be fair, deadmau5 was one of the acts of the weekend last year.
