AM, Tame impala, James, Primal scream, chemical brothers, courteeners... Give me any of them and I'm happy

 

Primal Scream been announced for a few euro fests so they’re definitely a possibility and Courteeners are around this summer, both got a chance imo.

What about Tame Impala?

They'd have to headline now and I dunno if they'd fit that for Beni these days. Also playing Primavera so I'd have thought that makes it very unlikely too.

I know it's a while yet but when do the day splits normally come out? or at least when can we have a good stab at who's on which day, particularly the Thursday

Daughters graduation is on the 18th so highly likely I'll miss the first day, unless I can persuade her to sack it off and come to beni

Was the 9th of May last year. With acts being added on the 8th of March and 18th of April. Will probably be similar again this year.

Can you pick wristbands up in the early hours, say around 1 in morning..

I pray that it's TOP and not shitty Migos, but it will be a laugh no matter what.

Thursday: Stormzy (Giggs, You Me at Six, Example)

Friday: Lana Del Ray (chvrches, Los Planetas, the Wombats)

Saturday: Kings of Leon (Franz Ferdinand, Blossoms, Gorgon City)

Sunday: The 1975/George Ezra (Jess Glynne, Circa Waves, AJ Tracey)

Look so average... 

Would not be at all surprised if they do decide to have 1975/George Ezra co-headline. Especially after their double BRITs scoop tonight, along with George Ezra set up to headline several UK festivals this summer.

Do they regularly move acts previously announced as non headliners to headline/co headline?

No, not at all - the last time was in 2017, but not sure about before then in all honesty. 

Lets hope we have two headliners still to come.

Agree, part of my draw to the festival was the 1975, and Ezra being strong acts to sub headline

Sam Fender would be great too! (Brit Award yesterday)

They also did it in 2013, when they had Primal Scream and Beady Eye as Friday night joint headliners, then the year after that they didn't actually have any A-list headliner on Thu or Sun, when they went with Tinie Tempah and Paolo Nutini respectively, but they were struggling financially in 2013-14.  Ever since then, it's been 4 x headliners each weekend, apart from 2017.  This year is 25th anniversary, so I wouldn't expect anything like 2014.  Saying that, if they did have George Ezra/The 1975 co-headlining on the Sunday night, with Stormzy/Chance/P.Malone on Thu, Lana on Fri, and KOL on Sat, then that would still probably be one of the strongest set of headliners you'll see at any European festival this summer (apart from Glasto/Sziget).  And all for less than £100!!!

I’m not so sure about those names being amongst the strongest, personally. Stick Kendrick Lamar in there instead on the Thursday night and then we’d be talking. 

However, for the price we pay, you have to be reasonable and that would be about right for €125 - I do agree there.

Stormzy announced for trnsmt, guess that means he's ours, very disappointed.

Not necessarily, but wouldn’t be surprised.

Anyone know where I can get set times for previous years? Seems like something every fest advertises publicly but not for FiB. Trying to get a rough idea of when we can go to beach etc

You can beach all day as the main big acts aren’t on until late at night.

Is there a beach next to it then or do you mean the beach near your apartment hotel, and the pool party stage is that meant literally?

The beach is a 10 minute walk from the festival, good for wasting some time during the day. 

And yes it is an actual pool party, well, more of a small DJ stage with a couple of pools. Wouldn’t go near the water with a hazmat suit on right enough.

It is a good stage, good tunes being played til 5/6 in the morning, would just avoid the water personally

When you come to the first big south beach sign, it’s underneath it and to the right. I’m sure they’ll release a map.

Catfish are now headlining Trnsmt and citadel festival the weekend before beni, could they be in with a shout to headline? Or have we ruled them out?
