Last year they shared Vetusta Morla, so there's definitely a chance! 

Great news! Hopefully it will be added then.

Latest post has “more names coming soon”. I don’t know when the give away winners are announced but the names will come after that I think

What's this preliminary poster everyone is talking about?

I think there’s a chance we might hear something next week.

There was a poster sent to certain people before the first announcement which had more names on it than they initially announced. LG was one of them, he got announced a couple of weeks later. Biffy, 2door, sum41, bastille and a couple of others were on it as well. So they’re all expected in the next announcement.

I don’t sorry, but there will still be more added. Plus the south beach lineup’s still to come.

Do you peeps know where the fib shuttle bus arrives in castellón or other parts of the city? Thinking about how to get back at the end of each night!

I’ve never used the buses and what not but they usually release all the times closer to the time. A group we meet out there use the buses and they always sing their praises, say they run on time and they’re bang on. If you have Twitter the benicassim fans page might be worth a tweet as they know their stuff! They’ve been quiet this year so far but they’ve not had anything to tweet about since November really so I’m sure they’re still active

What other festivals do the new crowd have that took over fib?

Cheers pal. Nice one. I will drop them a tweet

The buses back to Castellón are always great. Sometimes a bit of a wait if you leave at the wrong time (immediately after the headliner), but you’ll always make it home. It stops out probably 15-20 different places between the festival and Castellón (most stops in Castellón centre) and will always run to make sure local people are sorted. We know that because we fell asleep on the bus last year and woke up back at the festival an hour later, having missed all the stops! 🙌 They let us stay on and we got dropped off at the right place second time around!

This new poll/act voting competition ends on Sunday 2nd February, so we could potentially expect an announcement that week

Ahh that's crazy but good that they let you stay on. Must have been a good night for you to fall asleep at the end of the night! Cheers for the information.

I hope so, I really need new bands, and if its possible, different from the ones in the preliminary poster, this festival would be too much indie 2010, I want somethimg more fresh. 

Oh, and I really expect TDCC not to come, they are in every fucking festival and they are not great live, but this people are capable of  put them as headliners. 

The same with Bastille, but at least they have a great live show.

How many more headliners/big names we expecting? Could potentially have at least 2 for each night, and a big headliner still to come for the Sunday. Possibly a big name under libertines as well.

I'd be nicely surprised if we get any more than what was mentioned on the preliminary poster. I doubt they can afford to have many more big acts given the price of the festival ticket.

I have absolutely no idea what to expect this year, but as long as they fill the Saturday out a bit more anything else is a bonus for me

I’m the same, not a clue what to expect. Still waiting on the massive announcement for Kasabian headlining the Sunday but realistically that won’t be happening.

Yeah it will be great if they announce more for the Saturday. If not I will just get drunk at the bar! Lol

Any chance for Catfish and The Bottlemen ?

I can’t see it myself but they’d be a cracking addition! They’re quite active at the minute so hopefully they’ll be around a fair bit this summer. I still feel robbed from when they were on criminally early in 2018 

[Jonesy1]

Royal Blood announced for a festival in Newcastle. Means they’re active this summer and they’re on the poll. Would be a great add to the lineup.

Hey guys, first timer here. Can people share their experiences with the shuttle buses from Castellón and Oropesa? We found a lovely airbnb between Oropesa and Benicassim. Would we be able to catch the shuttle bus from some near by hotel? 

[TipToes24]

5 tweets today and probably one or two more to come....all about absolutely fuck all! Wish they’d stop giving me false hope 😂
