Huh, didn't the Libertines split up a few years ago?

Oh.. Google helped me out.

I didn't know they got back together.

Their music isn't very popular over here (Netherlands).

Anyone else concerned about the ash clouds from Iceland? An Irish meteorologist just said that the problem could persist throughout the Summer. Gulp.

[Scuzzball]

Hmm, my friend has decided he's not going but I've got a ticket/flight booked.

Does anyone want a camping buddy?

Yes.... of course! Its great news. Oasis looked really boring last year!

Jesus, fair enough you aren't into their music, but boring really isn't the word. They were one of the highlights of last years festival, the atmosphere in the crowd was unreal.

Waiting for a few more announcements....

[edisonic]

Gorillaz!!!!!! that should shut some of the moaners up.

You lucky guys. I saw Gorillaz at Roundhouse last week, and they are amazing live

Wish I was going this year now

[sprostongreen]

big name headliner but not an act i'll be going to see. not really into them so i'll be checking out someone else. hopefully that announcement will please some of the moaners

[Charmer]

Gorillaz is a great announcement.. didn't see that coming either! Haven't seen them before so i'm looking foward to that one.

[allgravy]

A Gorillaz/Blur mash up thing could potentially be insane? but i cant see damon wanting to associate the two really. realistically can hope for one of them two

Yes!!! Gorillaz!!!!! I've always wanted to see them live! This festival is going to be awesome!

[WhatAboutMe]

Also in the NME (which came out yesterday) it clearly shows Ash as been on the line-up, although still unannounced on the fiberfib page???!!!. As well as this it splits the acts between the four days so you can see who is playing which day..

[danger-man]

Does anybody know if they'll be playing as the cartoons or in the flesh?

Maybe i should have read the offical site first...

"Performed by Damon Albarn, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and the Gorillaz band the live show will feature songs from all 3 albums (Gorillaz, Demon Days and Plastic Beach) and include full production, with video animation, artwork and film as designed by Jamie Hewlett. Featured Artists are yet to be announced but recent live Gorillaz show’s have included performances by De La Soul, Roses Gabor, Bobby Womack, Little Dragon, Mos Def, Kano, Bashy and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble."

Would love to see De la Soul, Bobby and Kano there too!

Decent addition, never seen em live but heard they put on a good show. Notice that the official website is pushing the fact that Gorillaz are headliners, have they officially confirmed if Kasabian / Prodigy / Ray Davies or anyone else announced are headliners?

Actually just found this on the Xfm website.....

"Gorillaz have been announced as the final headliners of Benicassim. They will join The Prodigy, Kasabian, Vampire Weekend..."

So presumeably there has been some sort of announcement

[HippyDave]

Well, what a turnaround: the Spanish seem to be cheered up with this announcement. I am too, nice to see a top, current act finally getting announced (and one I have yet to see!).

Now, if they could just get Orbital.... but it ain´t gonna happen....

[skid]

^^ be happy with Leftfield, come on ten years away, can't wait

[jonzpellz]

Really looking forward to seeing the gorillaz, i havnt seen them before but have watched a couple if clips on youtube, of their video and hologram performances.

im also really looking forward to seeing foals and boyz noize after they cancelled last year

[emmi]

This will be my 2nd time going this year, just wondering if a vip pass is worth it this year or not? decent perks? the idea of a chillout spot sounds nice and cheaper drink (i probably wouldnt use the pool), and is it close to backstage? chances of celeb spotting?

and does it include ur entry aswell and isnt just a rediculously priced pass?
