Bilbao BBK Live

[Chinese Democracy]

Hey Y'all

Ill cut to the chase, I know i'm going to be low on cash this year and my first hopes of RAR will most likely not happen as I cant afford a ticket ATM and as its an anniversary show I can see it selling out quicker than last year. Bad times.

So I was looking through the site and came across BBK live for about 70 quid with Pearl Jam and Rammstien already announced it looks tempting.

Anyone been before ?

Yeah I was wondering about the language barrier, Its not exactly a tourist hotspot.

Whats the beer and food prices like?

Also that Ferry from Pompey, how much for a return? sounds like it could be banter with a few mates.

The language barrier was a little hard, but knowing how to say "cheers/thank you" helps And so does english. Its bad to think it this way but more people know English than English knowing Spanish etc.....

They ferry cost £360 for two people including cabin, cheapest cabin.... But that was book 17th June so quite close to the time of departure.

For a rundown check http://disco-vigilantes.blogspot.com/2009/...k-festival.html as i wrote a kind of review of the festival which includes most of the information.

Anything else you want to know, just ask.

Hi all. I've booked for BBK Live this year, I've emailed the website several times now but received no reply so I wondered if anyone knows if you can access the campsite the day before the festival, as that's when I'll be arriving, or whether I'll need to find somewhere to stay for the Wednesday night. Cheers

I'm very tempted to go to this. I've been to the Azkena Rock Festival (in nearby Vitoria) a couple of times - each time it has been fantastic. The line-up at BBK this year looks amazing, though I'll be seeing most of those bands anyway. Still, for about £70!!....hmm

If anyone sees cheap flights to Bilbao, let me know!

Hey, new guy here. I'm Jam

We're heading up to BBK this year as the lineup looks amazing. Rammstein/Pearl Jam/Alice In Chains is just too good to miss. Flying to Santander and spending a day/night there (beach, woo), then we'll be getting a train down to Bilbao and working it out from there.

I'm semi-conversant in spanish so we should be okay... I'm hella rusty though. I'm sure it'll come flooding back when I don't have any other choice!

They've just put up the details for camping, etc in Spanish - the campsite will be open from 6pm Wednesday and closes on 2pm Sunday. Stage times are also up on the site in English.

Bizarrely it looks like you can only pick up wristbands between 12pm and 1am on Thursday, so I have no idea how prior access to the campsite will be managed. We'll see...

I thought I'd post on here to see if there was anyone else going - if anyone else fancies throwing in with some brits in the name of conversation, camping and beer, let me know!
