What’s the chance of smashing pumpkins, with the announcement this week and the smashing pumpkins adding a countdown to their webiste is this possible?

Id be buzzing but i don't think they're the type of act Beni would go for sadly.

I’m a regular glasto goer so benni is new to me, still trying to get to grips with who they go for, relatively happy with the lineup so far but would like a few more guitar acts over rap, still a week in the sun with live music can’t be beaten

Wouldn't be surprised to see either Jon Hopkins, Solange, The Breeders, The Charlatans or Jessie Ware added to the £95 FIB line up.

So fiber leaks are teasing potential line up news this week. How accurate have they been in the past with this sort of stuff?

Hard to tell tbh they've stated bands which are and aren't playing but alot of the predictions to play this year haven't been announced yet (don't think they have predicted any act yet). The predictions of acts not playing seem like fairly accurate guesses tbh like stating Nick Cave wouldn't play is a pretty easy assumption to make as i don't think he's the sort of act the festival would book. The only thing I've seen them predict/confirm was that the last announcement leak was true when it was obvious it was true. They did correctly predict two door cinema club but thats the only correct prediction so far

Nothing. They know fuck all, read the 57 tweets - they follow patterns and make a claim on something that would be 90-100% agreed upon in here etc https://twitter.com/FIBER_Leaks/with_replies

Fuck yeah looks like just hunches and guesswork. No better than what we do on this thread haha

If there IS an announcement this week, and it includes Hinds, Anderson Paak, Miles Kane and Baxter Dury, and definitely no Diplo nor Imagine Dragons, then the person has credibility. Let’s wait and see.

Yer, good point. 2 gigs over that weekend in the UK and France would rule them out I'd have thought.

Craig David’s TS5 doing Ibiza Rocks two nights before FIB starts, then Tramlines on Sun. A possibility for Thu/Fri???

As good as they are I'm kinda glad would hope they get a bigger act to be the last headliner

Come Closer child. You have knelt by the shores of the pond and paid your respects to your Fairy God Toad and for this, I shall grant you the blessing of some news from the future....

The pond burbles and fizzes like Pale Waves across the Twin Atlantic...

The PEACEfrog's mating season has begun and announced itself like a Cannonball or some kind of Divine Hammer...


 

Ps - Don't forget to bring you Inhaler
 

All is calm once more in the Voidz "crrrrrrOAK"

He has held residency there through the summer for the past couple of years. 

I'd say he has to be considered, but I wonder whether he has any kind of Spanish exclusivity to Ibiza Rocks? 

[Postman]

anyone else think Alt-J a solid shout? headlining latitude with The Killers and have that weekend off in their schedule, Lorde as well as a second tier act? One of the better live solo artists out there atm

[Jancker19]

Saw RnL line-up. And you still want to complain about weakness of FIB?

[TheFullShaboo]

Is there any chance Kings of Leon may be the final headliner? Leeds and Beni have shared headliners in the past....

It' a really poor line-up especially when they no glastonbury to compete with this year. Kendrick the only headliner id want to see and he won' be at beni 

*also several acts have shared a poster with Travis Scott on it wonder has he pulled out as not on the offical poster from the festival or will he be announced later

Many had blanked them for FIB, as it didn’t look like KOL were playing out this summer, but now they obviously are. Melvin Benn’s got them signed up for R&L this summer, so who knows? Maybe he’s also got them for FIB?

Alt-J playing BBK the weekend before Beni, so I’d say it’s unlikely, and Lorde’s in Asia the weekend of FIB.

Just noticed this now. If hes pulled out it seems strange that he would cancel dates in August but keep his July ones.

Leeds festival announcement tomorrow, expecting there to be a fair bit of crossover between that lineup and Beni.

I take it back, keep that leeds lineup FAAAAAAAAAAAAR away from me
