Potential artist in the area during summer 2025.

 

Prob announce her stand alone shows and sell them out before mentioning fest dates

I thought she'd done Mad Cool before tbf. But apparently not.

Just seen on their Instagram that tickets are going on sale Friday. Wonder if a surprise line up drops before then…?

 

EDIT: Apologies, I misread it. It’s for a concert they’re doing for the Bloody Beetroots. The wait goes on…

I think Lana Del Rey will be a lock if she is in UK at the end of July.

I don’t even think there’s a forum for Benicassim anymore but there’s a list of names we can probably rule out.

 

I know festivals struggle sometimes but it blows my mind how much Benicassim fell off. That has to be the worst line up of the summer possibly.

A few big festivals went downhill post covid. Especially those who package it more than just the festival.

Love Bloc Party.

 

That's a big miss, recent tour was best I've been to in years

They shared some names at least in 2023 (I specifically remember The Offspring)

With €45 for three days it's still good enough. Times when for €100 we could get RHCP, The Weeknd, Kasabian, Foals and many more are long gone.

I think Benicassim went downhill even before Covid. They just started doing "just enough" to get British tourists to buy a ticket while on vacation

Yeah, doesn't look like Beni has exclusive clout these days. I remember when I first started going to festivals it was held in regard as a proper jewel in the festival season crown. 

 

My friend and I almost went the year you're referring to (2017) and the closest I ever actually came was having tickets in 2020. Got them early so for about £45 they had Liam Gallagher, Vampire Weekend, Foals, Khalid, The Libertines, Two Door Cinema Club, The Lumineers and The Hives. Could not believe they had all that for basically the price of a gig ticket.

I went to Beni in 2012 nd saw Stone Roses, Bob Dylan, Noel Gallagher, Ed Sheeran, Chase & Status and much more... The vibe on tht campsite was second to none, too...

 

It's sad to see it go so downhill 😞
