I'd assume they're playing the Thursday, as they only state the 19th on their website. Otherwise, it would open them up to big costs with people saying they bought a Thursday ticket to see CATB cos their website said that was the right day.

Individual day tickets only go on sale once the day splits have been announced. Until then, it’s only full 4 dayers that you can buy, so no danger re dates, etc....

NBT were acting as a decoy before one massive announcement from Beni tomorrow. 

How about that for a plot twist.

They change price after the 4th February but think they didn't sell out of weekend camping tickets till around June time last year and then they started selling weekend tickets without camping

My friends will have them if you want to list them on twickets instead. You get the same £££ but none of the excessive fees on top

I would love to throw a curveball and book someone like Run The Jewels, Oh Sees or King Gizzard, but if it's in terms of more Radio 1 stuff then I would be happy with Royal Blood, Twin Atlantic, Circa Waves, Chvrches & Miles Kane alongside a 'solid' headliner.

Do you reckon from the fest or Maraworld knows/checks this forum lol

Just announced to play Bluedot festival in Cheshire over Beni weekend are Chemical Brothers (playing Benidorm), Future Islands (Mad Cool) & The Flaming Lips - now I would definitely take them as a second stage headliner against Travis Scott...

Last year was the first time that they have sold out of festival + camping tickets for about 7 years, and that was due to the strongest line-up, and one of the world's biggest bands headlining on Sat night.

It won't sell out this year, even if AM's are added to the current line-up (only the FF's headlining this year would see it anywhere near full, and that ain't going to happen), but tickets will increase from next week, then probably at one further stage between now and May/June, up to a maximum rate of approx €150

Agree!  Would love to see the Flaming Lips at Benicassim (Future Islands would also be good).  Bluedot is the same weekend as Latitude, isn't it, so I'd say more chance of acts doing two UK festivals the same weekend (North + South), as opposed to a UK + Benicassim  **Edit - Latitude is actually the weekend before Beni this year**

Thank you so much!! enjoy 

[DRH0503]

I won't lie, I was pretty disappointed when I first saw the lineup, but when you consider there are gonna be about 80 acts added onto this and there are already at least 8 really good acts on there it really isn't too shabby for 90 quid at all! Just imagine how it'll look once the next wave is announced and the last headliner is added...

[Ovechkin]

Surely they have to be one (at the very least) tier 1 headliner still to be announced?

I really hope they book Chrvches.

[TheFullShaboo]

Now Travis Scott is a headliner does that put to bed the rumour of Eminem headlining? Surely Beni wouldn't have two American rappers headlining....

I expect Chvrches to be confirmed for FIB 2018.
