[OFWGKTA]

i can see us getting a few from the Mad Cool announcement, hopefully H.E.R as she’d be a brilliant addition to the Beni line up, Himalayas and SG Lewis too if im lucky

H.E.R. cancelled all European dates, including Mad Cool, Lauryn Hill took her place.

[Davidoff]

He is playing Sheffield the same weekend as Benni, what are the chances off anyone coming from there

probably quite slim but he’s down for the saturday at Tramlines i believe so there’s nothing stopping him from playing Thursday

[Differ16]

Have we ruled out vampire weekend and chemical brothers (also from mad cool) ? 

[OFWGKTA]

vampire weekend are a possibility, their US tour doesn’t start until late july so they’d have time to play beni whilst they’re still over here

chems are in denmark on the thursday so can’t see them being in spain the weekend before, going to denmark and then travelling back

I have only known about this festival ever since I got back to this website this year so bear with me, but, why is everyone here so sure there are big-medium names yet to be announced? According to what I assume is this festival's size I'd say that the lineup is pretty much done

this festival is a very big puller for well known acts, just look at any previous year, it’s a weaker line up this year so i’m sure there won’t be that many big names to come but the line up isn’t even close to being completed yet, still plenty more acts to be announced

[OFWGKTA]

we have roughly about the same amount of names currently as on this poster last year, some big names that were announced after this were Chase & Status, Giggs, The Charlatans, Metronomy, The Horrors, Rag N Bone Man as well as a list of smaller well known british bands like The Magic Gang and Pale Waves so there will still be plenty of good additions to be added in the next announcements

new additions to the Mad Cool line up for Wednesday welcome party:

Bring Me The Horizon, Rosalía, Lykke Li, The Cat Empire, Metronomy, Don Broco, The Amazons, Griz, Viagra Boys, Whispering Sons, Blake, The Parrots, Anier, Fusa Nocta, FAVX 

would love for one or more of Bring Me, Broco and Amazon’s to play Beni but i’m not sure if them playing Mad Cool makes them more or less likely

Would be brilliant if BMTH, Broco and Amazon's get announced. Also wouldn't mind seeing Yonaka added from that lineup. 

[Differ16]

Bring me would be a very nice addition and really bring the line up up a bit imo

[Davidoff]

Amazons are playing Trnsmt as well and free the weekend of Beni so I think they could be there, a no bad addition.  Throw in Ashcroft and Fender and what about the Kooks, Snow Patrol and the Wombats

That Vetusta Morla are playing another Spanish fest so shouldn't be a problem

Yeh but aren't they playing a special show at beni which is like an exclusive? 

[TheFullShaboo]

Going by last year we should still have one more lineup announcement before the day splits

last year:

18 April  - new names

9th May - day splits and new names 

 

I’m going for something this week. 

[KH94]

 I'm sure Sam Fender is in Australia at Splendour around same time as FIB. 

Would love to see The Kooks again but I doubt it. The Amazon's would be a great addition, as would Miles Kane. 

Hoping for some good news this week. Fingers crossed. 

[Differ16]

The academic would be nice to see as well, but looks like they're playing 2 shows in reland that weekend

yeah he is, in my break down of who’s touring where around the time i looked over the fact that he was playing Splendour, another good act ruled out

[Jonesy1]

Don’t think they’ll announce the announcement this time. I’m guessing (hoping) they’ll just randomly drop it either tomorrow or Wednesday.

[Dukey]

There has to be something soon, it's strange how they leave it all so late. 

[Differ16]

Bulky late announcements are never good news... TRNSMT 2019 and R and L 2018 show that 

[OFWGKTA]

touring schedules (according to songkick) of people on the TRNSMT line up and their likeliness:

Stormzy: can’t see him accepting anything less than headline status at Beni now that he’s headlining Glastonbury, can’t see him returning for a late night slot either as he played that in 16 or 17 and has only grown since then

Years & Years: playing in the UK on the 18th and then Kendal Calling on the 25th so don’t seem like a possibility

AJ Tracey: European tour starts in April and looks like it ends in July with a few festival slots in England at TRNSMT and Wireless, big gap in his schedule between 12th July and 22nd August

Fredo: just like AJ he has a big gap in his schedule between 12th July and 22nd August

Amine: playing in the US that weekend

Mabel: all of her shows before October are in the UK but she’s free the weekend of Beni

Gus Dapperton: playing Melt! and Lolla Paris that weekend, can see him also playing Benicassim as Lolla is only a short distance away

Example: not playing many shows this summer and none outside of the UK

Mist: TRNSMT on the 12th and then Afro Nation in Portugal the first weekend of August, so could be a possibility

Mahalia: playing Pori Jazz (Finland) and Melt! (Germany) that weekend, with her being in europe at the time she could make her way to spain for Beni

Catfish: busy at Splendour In The Grass

Bastille: they played last year but are in Benidorm the weekend after so could play Beni two years in a row like other bands have done in the past

Sundara Karma: no shows currently between 13th July and 7th August (when they’re playing Switzerland) hopefully that gap could be filled with Beni

The Snuts: playing Mad Cool the previous weekend

The Hunna: european tour is in April/May and they have no shows outside of the UK this summer

Steve Mason: no shows outside of the UK

Jade Bird: playing Tramlines that weekend and her only shows outside of the UK this summer are in the US

Snow Patrol: playing in Portugal on the 19th and Switzerland on the 21st can’t see them playing three nights in a row in three different countries

The Kooks: playing Deichbrand Festival in Germany that weekend and then a festival in France on the 2nd August, they’re around the right place in europe at the time but played last year which like bastille theycould do again

The Wombats: playing in Austria the first weekend of August and have no shows between then and 14th July so could be likely for Beni

Tom Grennan: playing Latitude and Tramlines that weekend and then Blue Balls in Switzerland on the 26th July so seems unlikely that he’d play Latitude, Tramlines and Beni in one weekend

The Amazon’s: just got announced for the Wednesday at Mad Cool making them very likely for Beni

Circa Waves: playing Tramlines but no dates outside of the UK after then until October

SWMRS: playing in Ukraine a few days before, could make their way back over to western europe for a show at Beni before they return to the US on 1st August

 

Likely Additions: Rick Astley, Sigrid, Richard Ashcroft, IDLES, Miles Kane, Europa (Jax Jones + Martin Solveig), Keane, The Amazon’s, The Wombats, The Kooks, Bastille, The Snuts, Sundara Karma, Mahalia, Mist, Gus Dapperton, Bastille

 

Unlikely Additions: Biffy, DMA’s, Lily Allen, Anne-Marie, Bastille, Picture This, Mystery Jets, The Coral, Garbage, Courteeners, Sigala, Noel G, SWMRS, Circa Waves, Tom Grennan, Snow Patrol, The Hunna, Stormzy, Years & Years, Example, Jade Bird, Steve Mason
