Mondo-kun Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 2 hours ago, SeshHead said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TipToes14 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Please Fab Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Im probably going to go Valancia for the weekend and just make my way out for the Libertines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefab Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 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.

FestivalJamie Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Ella Eyre is for me the wildcard in this line up. She hasn't played a show for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangojuice Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 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/ it was boss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefab Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 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.
