Going from previous years, they are up from the Monday before the music starts (13th July for this year).

Ive been 8 years and ive only ever stayed in Glamping, so if you have any further questions then just let me know

I’d already be seeing Ian brown at neighbourhood weekender so twice in a summer might mean I’ll give him a miss at beni! I’ve heard shaky things about him from my mates who’ve been to roses gigs in recent reunions. But he’d be one of 4 headliners if he’s there so hopefully they pull somethings special out the bag for us 

Saw the roses in 2016 and yeah his voice wasn't good, but if you're watching the stone roses you're not there to hear great vocals let's be honest. Am really looking forward to seeing him at neighbourhood

[thelemon]

Last predictions for possible headliners before Thursday:

The strokes

Libertines

Noel G

Tame impala

Stormzy

Kasabian

Chemical bros

Billie Eilish

Rage against the machine (ok probs not but I can dream)

Final predications then? Think we’ll get a couple of names out this list

Strokes

Kasabian

Ian Brown

Either of the Gallagher brothers

Chemical Bros

And DMAS are in Europe that weekend, so I’ll say them as well

[thelemon]

I think my 4 headliners prediction is probably:

Thurs: Stormzy

Friday: The Strokes

Saturday: Kasabian

Sunday: Chemical brothers

Also could get some of dmas, Ian brown, the lathums, the pale white, shed seven, and possibly Billie Eilish if they have a big budget and can get her on the undercard

[TheFullShaboo]

Really hope its the Strokes 

 

[TipToes24]

Hopefully like previous years an act or two tweets out the announcement a day early so the wait isn’t as long 

[kingbadger]

Ian Brown solo really isn't headliner or even co-headliner level assuming he's doing next to no Roses stuff.

The Strokes, Chemical Brothers and Kasabian would get me thinking about it for the first time since 2015 assuming the undercard is strong.

I agree with the Ian brown thing. He’d be cracking to see but he’s not a headliner for me 

[TheFullShaboo]

How much of the lineup are we expecting tomorrow? 
after previous follow-up announcements I think tomorrow’s lineup will decide whether I return or not. Can’t be hanging on till after new year to see who else gets announced 

[TheFullShaboo]

Benicassim fans on Twitter responded to someone with the name ‘definitely maybe’ saying they’ll be happy with the announcement.

If either Noel or Liam and Ian Brown are two of the headliners then it’s going to take two huge names to convince me...

[CJTM]

Dua Lipa or Stormzy for Thursday headline, Lewis Capaldi sub
Would be surprised if no Kasabian
Chemical Brothers is a solid shout, unless someone else has them, but Spanish exclusives don't hold much weight, as we know

[CJTM]

Any wisdom, oh mighty @The Toad. ?

[CJTM]

MANANA FIBBERS!

[Jonesy1]

What we saying about tickets, info tomorrow/Friday then on sale next week?

I think it has to be about 2 headliners and plenty of undercard acts for my lot to be swayed, even hotel costs as low as they are couldn’t tempt them after last year when we brought without  line up ? but going off how well Ian brown headlining at neighbourhood weekender went down if he’s a headliner then if he’s headlining the other 3 better be big 

[Jonesy1]

Benicassim Fans on twitter hinting at a few acts but struggling to work out who some of them are 

[Jancker19]

They hinting at Vampire Weekend, LG or NG, Foals, Garrix, Khalid, The Hives and MGMT. Dunno how reliable is it.

[Jonesy1]

Would’ve thought mad cool ruled Foals out.

Kinda miss fiber leaks. Was a good laughing watching them get it horrendously wrong every year.

Scrap that, right on time, they’re back!

@BenicassimFans on twitter.

Fiber leaks also saying Vampire Weekend so that means there’s fuck all chance of them being anywhere near the festival.

[jack12895]

Chemical bros announced some festival in Finland today, hopefully announce another in Spain tomorrow  

[Furg]

The Kooks being used as the music to the latest video today must be pointing towards them being on the bill.
