Ryan air are saying they will have 1000 flights a day operational by the 1st of july aswell. The festival wont go ahead but I think were going to loose out on the flights. I wont bother going the next year if I have to pay for new flights. Wish they would just make an announcement its ridiculous at this stage.
Can only hope you’re offered a chance to reschedule them. We were only 48 quid return with easyjet so not really losing out thankfully.

Lack of communication has been ridiculous. Nothing on social media since April 7th. I noticed that bars in places like Ibiza and Benidorm have opened back up again.
Surely they won’t try and push forward with this?
-
Not really surprised at that

Courteeners

Capaldi
Only change I could maybe see is Kasabian in for someone. Gerry said he’s looking to reschedule not cancel, so if he’s doing Hampden next summer he won’t be at this.

Were booked with hotel orange free cancellation.
Same with us thankfully.

Out of curiosity, is anyone who’s already bought flights still planning on flying out to Spain for the duration of the festival, providing flights are allowed to go ahead?
We’ve got flights but only cost 50 quid so we’re not too bothered about losing it.
-
If that’s the case I think they’d be safer going for a postponement until September

Yeah that thunderbitch stage last year was atrocious, we went to see a few acts there and was greeted by 50 people max! I hope it’s not the map as none of it makes any sense going off previous years! I hope they don’t mess with the lay out as it all makes sense how things are
Can’t see it being a map, just looks like a quick graphic they’ve thrown together.
-
2 stages and south beach would be enough imo. The 3 big stages last year was just far too much, looked ridiculous half the time.

Yeah I agree, still annoys me knowing they’re going to take it to the wire. I don’t think we’ll get a decision till late May early June. I think with this being the new promoters first year and the money they’d have pumped into it, if it doesn’t go ahead who knows what could happen to the festival
Just hope they can rely on insurance. Otherwise they may just cut their losses. However, they may be reluctant to do that because it is the most well known festival they’ve got.
-
Think at this point we’ve got next to no chance unfortunately. Spain’s had it bad, and even if it slows down over the next few weeks I can’t see them taking any unnecessary risks in the coming months.

With the Olympics now postponed, I’m not holding out a lot of hope for Beni to go ahead...
Olympics never had a chance imo. Beni’s a bit different, not sure how long they can leave it before making a decision. Beginning of June latest?
-
Think all the European festivals up until the end of July have no chance to be honest. We’ll get ticket money back and my flights were only 50 quid so that’s all I’ll lose. Hopefully most people will have free cancellation on hotels.

I was curious after reading this and checked booking.com. for our hotel (orange hotel) all the room options have changed to non refundable. What a stupid more like who in their right mind will book that now.v
Seems a bit daft. We’re booked in there as well but managed to get free cancellation thankfully.

100% they won’t be selling any now no matter what they try, especially for international travellers. Losing£65 isn’t ideal but it could be a lot worse, but for us going the UK and Ireland it’s flights and hotels you miss out on as well. I can’t see them shifting any more due to the uncertainty
Think pretty much every festival will be the same now. Might be a chance for anyone that hasn’t booked flights/hotels to take a gamble at cheaper prices.
-
Mate of mine messaged them a few weeks back asking if there’s more to come and they got a reply last night saying very very soon. Probably be this week after the competitions done.

They’re already asking what acts should be there next year so there must be enough ticket wise for them to be looking a year in advance, anyone on that list is a no go for this year though which is a shitter as I was certain idles would be there
Would be very happy with the snuts and inhaler off the list of upcoming bands for this year.

What is the new guessing game?
The link in their Instagram bio. Think they tweeted it as well. Not really a guessing game, just asking about acts.
-
New guessing game ends 18th, so the announcement will be after that

Any news at all now would be great. I feel like it's getting really late for announcements now
If they follow the last few years then we’ll probably still be getting announcements in May. Don’t know why they wouldn’t want it out as soon as possible.
-
Share a few with this already. Would take the chemical brothers as well.

2 weeks self isolation at south beach.

Now we are into March is anyone expecting anything in the next two weeks or so? Or do we all think the next announcements won’t bring anything of any weight to the festival?
Next week would be my guess.
Benicassim (FIB) 2020

I’m sure Beni will be the exact same but it would be nice to hear from them.
