Depeche Mode are in Spain the week before Benni with nothing on the tour scedule for the weekend of the festival. They were amazing the last time they played and the Spanish love them! I would be over the moon if they were playing! ;)

Everyone was specting more headliners and fiberfib confirmed that Oasis, FF, The Killers and Kings of Leon would be the only headliners (I'm not sure if Paul Weller is a headliner or not), Plus they are almost sold out, so another headliner would be a waste of money for the organization.

you're probabaly right to be honest

Point i was making was it was originally announced as Weller, FF and KoL as headliners, i assume weller was going to headline up until oasis and killers were announced, now hes underneath KoL on the friday. It would be a shame if they just look at it as the tickets are sold then thats enough, i personally rate the lineup so far to be on par with leeds/reading and better than the other festivals in the uk currently, big act wise atleast. If you look at arctics tour dates on their website then beni would fit in perfectly and the addition would make it far better than the other uk festivals, i know some will disagree but from a commercial standpoint that is the case.

Depends which way they look at it i suppose, i think if they announced another big act it would obviously lower profits but the popularity for 2010 would rise immensely.

Too be honest, was really disappointed with last years line up. I wouldnt worry so much about it

Last year blew away any british fest I been to. Only really properly enjoyed justice and hot chip and lightspeed champion of the world(!)

Don't get me wrong i am absolutely delighted with the lineup :P and the music probabaly doesn't even equate to half the reason why im going, would just be a shame if they were only bothered about selling the tickets rather than putting the best fest on possible.

people say the same thing year in year out about the line up for beni, and year in year out people still go and have a great time no matter who's playing! it would be great if it was the best line up in the world ever, but it's never going to be the case. if there's 3 bands per day that i really want to see then that's my money's worth and the rest is a bonus plus the fact it's gonna be f**king roasting :)

I must admit after seeing the first announcement i was hoping the rest of the line up would live up to the same standard and produce a fantastic lineup but i have so far been disappointed.

Having said that, last time i was there i missed so many bands that i would happily have gone to see at a British festival just because i was busy doing other things, the line up almost becomes irrelevant.

Yes its a music festival and yes the headline acts look great but as this is Benicassim and NOT a British festival located in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do in the surrounding areas and primarily inhabited by chavs just wanting a weekend drinking session i'm not too bothered if the line up produces no further surprises as i know i'll always have something (laying on the beach, the water park, swimming in the sea, investigating Benicassim towns restaurants and bars, the go-kart track and more) to keep me entertained. I see it as a beach holiday that happens to have some great bands thrown in for good measure!! Anyway, some of the best bands I saw last time i was there were those that i'd not have hear of until seeing their names on the line up. I'll trust the organisers to throw as good a party as last time and enjoy every second of it no matter what names they produce between now and then.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
