it has been mentioned in another thread:

Oasis will headline.

For me Kings of Leon and Oasis are the worst possible headliners (maybe The Killers would be even more annoying)...but there's still 96 bands to be announced.

Not sure if anyone else is interested, but Doves are releasing a new album and will be touring this year. Would love to see them at Benicassim.

Just as long as there are a good pile of upbeat acts such as Pendulum, Justice etc... I'll be more than happy! :lol:

Today I posted away my Kings of Leon tickets for their show in Columbiahalle, Berlin to the German boy who bought them from me on eBay (I can't afford flights now :P ).

It got me thinking, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and Kings of Leon are all playing in Europe this Spring in quite similar venues.

Other bands doing a similar thing are Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party. Also, Kasabian are supporting Oasis in the few days before their Beni performance.

How likely does any of this sound? I would quite like to see Bloc Party, but to be honest it seems odd to me that all these bands are touring (maybe festivaling) - like we have gone back in time a year or two.

Some great suggestions there!

I was already on board for Beni again even before any bands were announced and I'm quite happy with the bands so far. It gives us a par to work down from at least.

I've been waiting for Doves to tour since 2005, the feckers. They owe me!

Want some TV on the Radio.

To be honest, I don't mind too much - as long there is diversity like last year. Some good bands earlier in the evening and some great DJs and electro/dance acts to throw some serious VodBull induced shapes to until the sun comes up. I'd be chuffed to bits if they ask Justice back. I'd like to re-run that night in the tent every weekend until go deaf.

Think of it like this. Whilst all the numpties are at Oasis, you can watch someone else safe in the knowledge you are surrounded by like minded people.

Oasis playing is unlikely to attract more numpties to the festival (They are touring UK before it so anyone who wants to see them will do so then), but any numpties already going to Beni will be drawn to Oasis like flies to sh*te! :P

    • Geese playing for 1:20 instead of just an hour was a lovely surprise. The energy was great!
    • Oh well that's why then, I assumed it was still the same. Thanks!
