To put it into perspective, here are the lineups from 2016, 2017 and 2018

My first FIB and also first foreign festival, ten years ago. Got a ticket for €70 or something like this (of course, showers, re-entrance and camping all were included). Kasabian on their peak, The Libs reunion... Inflation and all, but still...

Good memories, unfortunately, can't see our company coming back with their new marketing strategy.

This lot seem hopeless this year. Announce they’re going to confirm more acts then only announce 3? They’ve all but abandoned Twitter as a social media output. I remember years ago Twitter used to be abuzz with hype around the festival, now you search their handle and there’s absolutely nothing. Glad I didn’t book early this year

A bunch of new acts added today: A-Trak b2b The Magician, Íñigo Quintero, Pale Waves, Sundara Karma, Peace, Bag Raiders, Yuksek, Jersey and Nunatak. I'm actually pretty impressed; when you factor in the Spanish bands (many of whom are excellent, if largely unknown in the Anglosphere), this might be the best value-for-money festival I'm going to this summer.

Since it was sold to the company that runs Arnel Sound, by Maraworld. Its died. It was truely a magnificent festival and i feel privilaged to have experienced it in the halcyon days of the early 2000's up to 2019. They once had a closing party on the beach on the Monday night - I saw 2many djs on benicassim beach - the line ups where some of the best across europe. It was once known as the best.

 

It was once owned by Vince power 'Mean fiddler' who was a giant on the uk music scene. 

 

This is when it went tits up : https://www.iq-mag.net/2019/07/arenal-sound-promoter-acquires-benicassim-maraworld/

Does anyone know if Pale Waves dropped out at the last moment? They're listed under Saturday's acts on my official drink cup, but they're nowhere to be found on the schedule that got posted last week. 

 

Anyway, had a wonderful first day with outstanding sets from Peace and Bag Raiders. The Spanish acts are especially strong this year too: I loved Veinteuno, Depresion Sonora, Siloe, and especially Xoel Lopez, who gave off big David Byrne energy.
