I hadn't thought there was any chance of seeing the Ulster final at all, but the 'Irish' bar gave me a glimmer of hope.
On the plus side, in 2005 I was in Rhodes and missed the match between Tyone and Down before Tyrone went on to win the All-Ireland. Hopefully same happens again, but replace Down with Antrim

It looks like it ought to be called Paddy O Leprechauns, I don't think your chances are all that good !

3 years ago there was a hardware shop on the main street which sold cord and large gauze sheets 4M x 4M which did a brilliant job fending off the worst of the sun if you string it up between the trees. It's a bit of a ball ache actually stringing it up but once you do it pays off in spades, so much cooler, so much shadier ! The 4x4 Metre one covered our 5 tents and the space in middle easily.
If the shop is still there it's towards the festival end of the main street, left hand side ( as you look toward the arena ) a bit before the Irish bar but they do seem to be on a semi permanent siesta and are open for an hour or so in the morning and then again in the late afternoon.

Honestly find it difficult to describe their music. I would recommend just looking up a few songs on you tube.
They were really active and great at getting the crowd going.

How much are the cool boxes? and also how do you re-freeze them or do you have to keep buying ice packs?
This thread is a great idea by the way especially for a first timer like me.
Thanks

Was at Kasabian last night and Fight Like Apes were the support.
Was great and I would recommend seeing Fight Like Apes in Beni if you can!
-
No problem.
To be honest I have not tried the shade plan before, and am hoping it will work. It all seems fine in my, head. But then a lot of things do! LOL

Was thinking about not bringing a tent at all and maybe bagging myself a cheap one in Barcelona before I head down. Then just fire it into some charity spot on the way home.
Can't be bothered with the hassle of having to take one all the way from Ireland!
Anyone know of any handy places in Barcelona that would sort me out?
-
Nice one! Cheers!

They're already talking about it...............

Great wee page to get to know the music of the artists this year. Basically a constant jukebox.
Great for background music. Anything that you like the sound of you look at the artist.

If you're flying with Lyingair from Liverpool to Reus, you might want to check your flight details. A few of our customers who booked a while ago have just found out that they have changed the departure time without telling anyone (oh, what a surprise).
Flight FR9824 on 13 July now leaves at 06.40am and arrives in Reus at 09.50am instead of 12.40pm. Return flight times on the 20th have also been changed and the plane now leaves at 10.15am
We've added an extra bus at 1130hrs on the 13th from Reus airport to Benicassim to make sure you don't get stranded, though - full details on our website here.

I wouldn't have thought so, Reus/Tarragona is about an hour south of Barcelona so I think you are looking at about 10 euros less.
Time tables in English are here.
-
I think you're looking at fifty euros return.

im in process of booking festivals bus from valencia at min aswell.
some friends went last year and said its much easier and more straight forward going with festival bus as its door to door service
it cost's $27 euro's return with the booking fee. they run every hour on the hour till 10 pm and takes about an hour you book it from http://club.fiberfib.com.

Alright guys...this is my first ever time at a festival, actually it's my first time camping anywhere, so Benicassim seems like it'll be a bit of a shock to the system!
All over the internet people are complaining about how difficult it is to camp in the intense heat, i'm a regular to spain but would it be better to stick with a hostel or hotel?
Also, any rumours of more bands? I heard a few- libertines, daft punk, prodigy, bon iver, MGMT (some a little tiny bit more farfetched than others obviously...)
i'm so jealous of everyone's cheap flights, i live in Belfast so we booked with Aer Lingus. was NOT happy with 200 quid!
-
hey, anyone know what the deal is with getting euros and money, for example i dont want to be taking over all my euros and having to take them about with me all day, is there somewhere to cash travellers cheques nearby or anything like that ?
also, is there security boxes for passports,plane tickets etc, and how much are they ? cheers !
btw, anyone with any idea how much train tickets cost from barcelona to madrid would be much appreciated, cheeeeers !

Oasis were the last band I wanted to see on the line-up...
-
I always try to speak at least a few words in the native language if I can.
I find the locals appreciate it and it does lead to hilarity at times.
When in Paris I tried to order a bottle of wine at reception and the woman didn't speak any English. My French was VERY bad so it almost became a game of charades. BUt despite it all we both laughed and I got what I wanted.
If I had just shouted it in English instead of attempting bad French they would not have been nearly as impressed.
On another note: Anyone know how different South American Spanish is from the local dialect in Beni? One of the people I am travelling with learnt his Spanish in South America, so want to know if that is fine, or if it is much different.
-
I would be sooo happy if Bloc Party and Kasabian played.
Would be great if a load of slightly older bands all turned up. Bit of nice easy listening mixed in with some pumping dance and my week will be complete. Then just add Pendulum and all would be perfect.
-
Yea, they have indeed been confirmed ey... http://www.fiberfib.com/
I saw them at Beni a few years ago...Oasis, facking rubbish!! Kings of Leon are good though, they were awesome at Summercase last year, and at Beni the year before. All i want now is The Editors and i´ll def buy a ticket.
-
Damn it, everyone knows that if there is a single band who you don't like at a festival, then it's completely ruined.
In no way will there be loads of other bands/acts that you might want to go see instead...

I have heard a few people saying how they hired cars. I checked this site
http://www.doyouspain.com/reus-car-hire/reus-car-hire.htm
Anyone know what their reputation is or could recommend a good hire car firm that I can get from Reus.
There are 4 of us and this seems so much cheaper than getting a bus down. Only worry is us getting lost/damage to car while we are at festival. We will only really be using it for getting there and back.
Cheers all
