So who could still play Bilbao, that hasn't already been added to the Primavera line up?

Chemical Brothers still free?

I doubt they will share more bigger names with Mad Cool.

I guess Kendrick will be back, if he decides to reschedule his gigs.

If not, maybe A$AP Rocky as a replacement. Co-head-structure with Chem Brothers would work too I guess, since Kendrick is bigger and probably more expensive than both.

[Sarahw2]

Anyone any guesses on when the next names will be released? Recently got tickets and need something to look forward to. 

[Nesser]

Not before March given previous years and the current situation in Spain and Bilbao especially. But don't hold your breath much because no more than 6-9 names per day should be left and mostly undercard.

[Sarahw2]

Thank you. I had a feeling there wouldn't be any more big names. I'd probably be more interested in the undercards anyway. I've been to a few festivals around Spain but its a first for this one. Really looking forward to it. The city looks amazing also.

Current plans at the minute would be to do Mad Cool Wednesday, BBK Thursday and then spend two days in Bilbao. But I'm waiting for the last names and less uncertainty to make a decision, and I don't think BBK will sell out given the quite cold reception on social media. 

Though a day with Phoebe B, Caribou, Moderat, Placebo and an EU exclusive LCD for 66 euros is spectacular.

Instead of 2days in Bilbao, try 1 day there and head a bit north to San Sebastian. Amazing beach. Nice and cheap YHA hostel near the beach

[Sarahw2]

Anyone think there should of been some news by now. I was hoping after seeing their latest social media post "not much to go 💚" we might have something this week

Has reaction been muted? I think its surprisingly good. I'm a bit thrown by the prominence of Stromae though, is it because its so near to France?

Stromae is big everywhere in Europe except UK I'd say

Lots of tickets on Ticketswap already, and it's not sold out yet (many June/July festivals are). I've seen mixed reactions too.

I was planning to do Thursday only at first, but I've just got my combi ticket with 5 more days in the Basque country! Should be a treat.

Clearly agree with you, line up is quality. The LCD day is absolutely stellar and Stromae, The Killers, Pet Shop Boys should be a lot of fun (I'm Belgian and yet to see Stromae live).

The line-up here is actually very good. We may end up going.

Are there any BBK Live veterans here? There aren't too many cheap places to sleep, which isn't really suprising with just 2 months to the festival. I assume the shuttle buses take you to the stadium? Does the metro work in the night? Cause I'm afraid it'd be hard to catch a taxi and there aren't that many good accommodations near the stadium. 

[Sarahw2]

Does anyone have any idea when the timetable will come out? Any other info or tips would be greatly appreciated as first timer. Stating in a hotel in the city so hoping it won't be too hard to get there and back

[Sarahw2]

New app is available now with timetable 

[Giovanni]

And other than LCD clashing with Phoebe Bridgers, the timetable seems fine.

Thrilled to go!

[Sarahw2]

Same here. Counting down the days now 😊. Can't wait for Bicep. Have been watching their latest gigs and look unreal 😍 

[VCF]

Oh my god that LCD / Phoebe clash. Can’t believe it. Devastating.

Any (local) recommandation besides the obvious international acts?

[VCF]

https://clashfinder.com/s/bbklive2022/

Placebo > LCD > Caribou > Moderat

Inhaler > Kelly Lee Owens > The Killers > (Bomba Estereo/Mykki Blanco) > Stromae > BICEP

BADBADNOTGOOD > (Nathy Peluso/Joy Crookes) > Pet Shop Boys > M.I.A. > (J Balvin/Slowthai) > Four Tet

Still bloody good but I cant believe that clash is happening.

Check out the playlist on Spotify

[49Lawson]

They’ve just posted on Instagram that they’re looking to alter the timetable to avoid LCD/Phoebe clash. First time I think I’ve ever seen this from a festival

[VCF]

They even went further in comments, saying "lo solucionaremos" which Im pretty sure means "we will fix it".

Wonderful news if true.

[Sarahw2]

Just read that as well as the free busses this year they are putting on paid ones to try and stop the long waits. €1.50 to book a time slot in advance

Always want to experience BBK festival.  Do the non camping accommodation is walking distance from the festival venue?
