I dunno. Its not miles away from having Portishead headlining 

Regardless, she'll be at Primavera it seems. Bruno Mars is a good predicition though

Yeah i agree that would be the more likely destination. The dude who reckons he's heard the Primavera headliners says she's not one of them though, and I imagine she'd headline. So i'd say its worth considering her a possibility.

I know there are meant to be some rumours of The Cure about this summer, and with the double e rule they can't play Mad Cool. Could they be at Beni? Not really sure what fits or not as I don't know too much about this festival

Yeah they could be another option. I'd have thought they'd be more likely for BBK though.

Benicassim doesn’t belong to Catalonia. 

Benicassim belongs to Castellón province, that belongs to Comunidad Valenciana.

Comunidad Valenciana provinces: Castellón, Valencia and Alicante

Cataluña provinces: Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida and Girona.

Arcade FIre have announced a bunch of stuff for JUne and August, so I'm wondering if they'll be stateside in July now

Facebook guy from Colours of Ostrava (18-21 July) said today that they wont be in Europe anymore in that time.

Just seen the Cure have been announced for BST two weeks before Beni and jumped straight to conclusions. Turns out its their only European date of 2018  Would of happily sacked the Arctics of for them as the main headliner....

Is another headliner announcement likely the day ticket prices go up?

Word coming out of America today is Eminem getting ready to go on tour next year. Would be big if they got him to perform as it' likely he won' be doing many shows in Europe next summer

Looking at making first trip to benicassim next year. Not sure if I could survive camping in that heat so which of castellon or oropesa del mar is best option to stay in

For the last 2yrs, the 2nd headliner has been announced around this time in December. Having said that, The Killers were only announced last week which is late in comparison to previous years where the 1st headline announcement has been back in November. 

Here's hoping... 

[CJTM]

Catfish playing Cardiff 29 July, considering they did Mad Cool last year - surely nailed on

lollapalooza paris announcing their lineup this friday. As its on same weekend should we expect to see some of these acts also playing benicassim

Well comparing the lineups for both festivals this year. Benicassim had both headliners (RHCP and The Weeknd) and shared a couple other big acts like Liam Gallagher and Kaleo and Crystal Fighters but there line ups had a lot of differences Lolla had a lot more DJs. I'd say any of the acts high up on the Lolla announcements are contenders for Benicassim. I'm expecting Benicassim to announce another headliner/co headliner on Friday

Wouldn't complain if they made an appearance over the weekend always put on a good show

Lollapalooza Paris just announced this lineup. Sharing the killers with them so wouldn't be too surprised to see another of their big names headlining benicassim as it shared both headliners last year

[Paulmcm1998]

This is the Lollapalooza announcement. I'd like to see Catfish and the Bottlemen, Nothing but Thieves, Portugal the man and diplo and Travis Scott at Beni but can't see any of the other headliners from Lolla playing at Benicassim.
