Benicassim 2012

OH MY GOD

[tc1927]

Need to actually listen to some of these bands, havent listened to At the drive in but i like Mars Volta.

Not into the Maccabees and havent heard any of the others (apart from Bat for Lashes actually).

Another disappointing announcement IMO, the next headliner needs to be pretty good or this is a pretty bunk line up

efestivals, can you confirm if "at the drive in" are headlining?

[danny12345]

As much as some of you rate them, I'm guessing if At The Drive In played Reading they wouldnt headline the tent let alone mainstage. I know they are completely different sized festivals but they are equally as commercial when it comes to headliners... or maybe im wrong

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

At The Drive-In are brilliant, but I just don't see them as main stage headliners

[Paul Cryer]

I'm guessing now, that this is pretty much the full line up?

[jmcndrww]

they're headlining

[philly_eds]

Surely there is at least another headliner to come? Pretty weak if there's nothing more to come...

[saints15]

It would be really helpful if it gets cleared up who is headliner, as far as I'm aware Florence and Stone Roses are the only ones who have officially been announced as headliners

[jmcndrww]

its been confirmed

[Neeeeeedles]

This is starting to look like one of the weakest line ups of the summer IMO.

The XFM announcer this morning said that At The Drive In were headliners, but that hasn't been posted online anywhere. Also if thats the case, it looks like New Order are the other headliners from the poster.

Spent all their money on The Stone Roses?

that's what the PR blurb says.

The line up may not be as strong as last years but there is still enough so far to keep entertained, and Beni is so much more than just a festival!

[Davydenko]

This year Benicasim sucks. Hurry go all to Optimus

[Liam Slater]

The only headliners I'm sure of are the stone roses and florence and the machine. No way are at the drive-in big enough to headline and as for new order, surely they would already have been confirmed as headliners when they were first announced in the lineup?

[agould]

I'd just like to point out that At The Drive In are 1 off headlining Coachella! and Beni is nowhere near as big as Coachella! So think a few people need to step down and realise the size of Beni and the bands playing this a decent line up (few dodgy names!) but all in a decent line up and there will be more bands announced yet!

[Boothy380]

Is it just me that isn't that bothered who actually headlines? At The Drive-In, Stone Roses, Maccabees, Noel Gallagher, New Order, Dave Clarke, SebastiAn, The Horrors, David Guetta, De La Soul, Katy B, Lisa Hannigan, The Vaccines, Yuksek and Maverick Sabre. That's 15 acts I want to see. And I get to go on holiday. I'm happy enough, if you don't wanna go then don't go, why cry about it though?

[agould]

Couldn't agree more mate!

[RossTC]

Weak headliners bar the roses but other than that the lineup is pretty strong tbh.

[tc1927]

I agree with Boothy to an extent but theres only about 6 bands id actually pay to see and compared with last years line up i think it looks pretty poor.

But the Roses is my all time favourite band and its a holiday so im not that fussed.
