They are also in Madrid the following day (21st) so means could be at Beni on the 22nd 

Exclusive on festivals.

Noches del botánico are concerts in Madrid. Not massive festival. 

Más de seis años después de la publicación de su último trabajo, “Strangeland”, los cuatro integrantes del grupo vuelven al estudio de grabación para preparar nuevo material que podremos disfrutar en directo gracias a 4ever Valencia Fest, en el que será además su único concierto en festivales en España

Probably one of their worst lineups ever...

[DannyNedelko]

That's an awful line up for people who actually really love their music, if you just want sun, atmosphere and don't mind who's playing then it's great, but It's like a RADIO 1 weekend event.

 

Seems they have struggles to get good acts and bands. Would appeal to a lot of kids that line up.

Edited March 5, 2019 by DannyNedelko

[Jonesy1]

Certainly not their best lineup but can’t complain at 90 quid a ticket.

[jparx]

I'd take LDR at Mad Cool all day long. Shame it's an exclusive to FIB. Some good stuff further down the lineup (Ezra Furman, Superorganism, Big moon), but yeah not the best.

[Davidoff]

So, no Keane then, Gerry and Fat Boy Slim is a good add to the line up and will he be a Headliner?

[Jonesy1]

I think festivals are seriously overestimating the demand to see Jess Glynne. How the fuck is she that high up?

[Panos77]

Will there be any other headliners? I expected something bigger than Fatboy Slim.

Probably someone of Stormzy's stature, to headline Sun night.  I'm not expecting anyone anyone much bigger as 4th headliner.  1 x Stadium act + 3 x Arena acts as headliners, is fairly typical for FIB over the past 6-7 years.

That's because you go to expensive festivals ?

[Sturdysnake]

A-hmm... Excited, but as my first time to Beni and hearing all the hype about it being the 25th anniversary, I was expecting more.

Veterans, cheer me up by telling me that it's always great fun no matter what

[DannyNedelko]

Gerry Cinnamon is someone who should be way down the bill, how the fuck he is so popular I'll never know.

[Jonesy1]

Based on last years numbers, we’re still due a headliner and 73 other acts. Plenty to come.

73 more acts, seriously!? 

What are the chances that the final headliner will be a big one?

Last year, there were 108 acts (excluding headliners). This year we have 30, so roughly 78 to come, presuming the numbers are the same.

I know he’s doing mad cool, but I’ll say Noel G as final headliner.

[Handinho]

Perhaps getting too ahead of myself, but when shall we expect the next headliner to be announced?
