Bilbao BBK Live 2017

[Trk]

First headliner was announced on tuesday

 

Been there previous years and planning on going again

[gregory]

I'm considering this! Obviously the festival is cheap, but what about drinks/food etc once you get in? Reasonable? I read a bunch of good reviews about this festival this year...

& I'm kind of hoping Radiohead might play this time around as they did NOS but not BBK this year and are touring again. Likelihood?

Mad Cool it is for me.

Very small discount on tickets tomorrow FYI, a discount nonetheless... 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Would anyone recommend this festival? Just checked out the price which is amazing (was going to buy a ticket for Depeche Mode in London but for another £30 I can see them and get a three day festival in), the location looks cool and it's a city I've never visited before. Flights are reasonable too. Any tips? Things to look out for? Pros? Cons?

I went a couple of years ago and had a blast there! Music doesn't start until later in the afternoon so it's a good reason to explore Bilbao. Bare in mind it's a bus from the campsite down the mountain to the festival (or a long trek if you feel up to it)

I've been there twice, and for me is not the best festival in Spain. Weather sometimes is shit and is not easy going and leaving the site, due to the long queues for shuttle buses. Bilbao is an ugly industrial city and people is not so open as in the rest of Spain. I prefer Primavera, Mad Cool or Resurrection Fest. Even FIB is much better for me than BBK Live.

you should do nos alive in Lisbon, usually has better bands and Lisbon is a great city

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Thanks @johnybegoodand @lightsnowpatrol, I've noticed that about the weather in the pictures and videos. Maybe I'll have a rethink and check out NOS, loved Lisbon when I was there earlier this year

[gregory]

The Killers will be announced later today, plus potentially more. Hopefully I'm not going to regret choosing Mad Cool too much!

I'm going to this after Open'er in Poland. Any tips from people who have been before? And any rumours? I've heard Coldplay as the final headliner but not sure they'll be doing it.

All headliners have been announced, they said TDCC & Phoenix are co-headlining. 

p.s. I'm also going to Open'er, then flying to Madrid for Mad Cool and Benicassim afterwards

Can we expect anyone else from NOS to be announced as it's the same weekend? I would love to see Warpaint and Wild Beasts. 

[LiamMcMillen]

Announcement tomorrow I think. 

[gregory]
