Benicassim 2012

I will warn you that taxis are rare in Benicassim! This year there were shuttle buses to local towns but the festival organisers probably won't be posting any details about this year until much closer to the festival. Oropesa del Mar is easier and closer.

We are currenlty sorting out accommodation for Beni and we will announce on facebook when it's ready for you to book, so if you 'like' us then we'll keep you updated :) It will probably be early next year, which is the same for a lot of hotels in Beni.

Heading back to Beni next year for round two. This year there was a group of 5 of us, staying in Marina D'or. It was a nice place but the distance from there to the festival was definitely a huge problem. Those taxi queues really were the worst of the worst (especially if you're in a bit of a bad way!).

I've heard that Bonterra Park is a perfect place to stay for the week, only there aren't any prices up yet.

Could anyone give me any rough advice on prices for these? Either that or any recommended places to stay nearer the festival site?

Hey, hope someone can help! I'm trying to find more info on Villacamp but there doesn't seem to be much on the official websites apart from stating there are better toilet and shower facilities...

Can anyone point me in the direction of any reviews etc to help me decide if it is worth the extra cost? Also, when do Villacamp tickets usually go on sale?

Cheers

The baggy four-piece will play outdoor shows at Heaton Park, Manchester on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th June 2012 followed by a world tour. "We'll ride it until the wheels fall off." said singer Ian Brown.

Stone Roses to play Beni?

OK - so our new website is now live at www.eufest.com, with our schedule of buses available for travel to and from Benicassim. We have transfers running to and from all surrounding airports, including Valencia , Alicante , Barcelona, Reus and Girona. And with prices starting at £18 per person, it really is the cheapest and easiest way to get to Benicassim - so head on over a nd get booking.

Accommodation is still going to be a while yet, but we'll pop something on here as and when we have anything available. In the meantime, if you like our Facebook page, that's the best place to keep up to date with all the latest news.

And as always, if you've got any questions about anything to do with Benicassim then just drop us a line on [email protected], or pop them on here, and we'll do our best to answer them.

See you all in Beni...

Been Beni 06, 08, 09, 10 and 11 so was going to give it a miss this year but might have to re-think that now after the stone roses announcement. Don't know If I can spend another week in that Irish bar listening to the same 5 songs over and over again! (Hot Chip pun intended!)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
