hey, does anybody know what the camping is like? and what time does the music finish?

[Danny K]

Hi everyone, does anyone know when there's likely to be another lineup announcement, or when the tickets go up in price?

I'm wondering if I should just hold out to check the lineup's alright before I buy a ticket... but how long would I be waiting?

the camping is grotty smelly and you will feel disgusting... but you HAVE to do it. you meet amazing friendly people and it flings you into the mad festival feeling... you wake up hungover and INCREDIBLY hot but nothing the showers cant sort out. the showers have the coldest water i have ever felt but will cure a hangover quicker than you can say "to stone roses!"

last year before heading off to the music the whole campsite used to erupt in singing the most well known song of the headliner (someone always had a guitar)

the music finishes about 6am. but the headliner finishes at 2/3ish, the less known bands start after now until 6ish.... most nights you stay until 6am dancing to the dj's playing everyones favourite tunes.

benicassim is an amazing, friendly, insane festival and i would 100% recommend camping for benicassim virgins, then decide what to do the following year (because you WILL be back) most people there are british, but everyone is your friend as you all instantly become "fibers"

do not miss out!

also can not praise eufest enough for coach travel from alicante to benicassim

Can anyone tell me when the hotels generally release rooms in Beni? I think the last time we booked it was around Jan. Is it still the same?

[zahidf]

Florence and Machine and Vaccines added to this

[rdaphne]

well thats not bad for starters

had a ticket for the vaccines in lincoln tonight had to pull out 'cos i'm not very well so i'm a happy bunny , not sure if Florence is a headliner though . Peace . out x

[saints15]

maybe Florence will headline the Thursday, I've never been to Beni before but I seem to think they'll have smallest headliner on the thursday

[rdaphne]

ya not wrong , it was the Streets last year

[gazza_20]

so

FATM

The Killers?

The Stone Roses

One more here? A random guess based on that they didn't headline there this year and I can't see when they ever have, Foo Fighters.

The Killers are rumored for here, r&l and t, t usually share with reading, beni has shared quite a bit one with reading too and also t.

[rdaphne]

i think Beni was one of the few european festivals the Foo's didn't play last year , lets hope they do this year

Florence and the Machine is headlining Thursday according to her website.

I booked my ticket last month, first time ever going to a festival outside of the UK and I'm going alone! Any tips, a little nervous about being on my own for the whole 9 days but should get to meet a lot of people hopefully! Also, I heard about different camp sites and that some are better than others, what's the low-down on this? (:

[Florafaye]

I'm thinking of going to Beni this year with a small group of friends.

Anyone got any tips for someone going to a festival abroad for the first time?

Where's the best place to camp?? i.e the place with the most shade.

(Staying in accomodation would work out too dear)

[rdaphne]

we had names announced on the 9th nov last year , fingers crossed we might hear something this week

[sprostongreen]

I hope Pearl Jam play, they're doing a tour in Europe this summer!

[saints15]

Justice have been added as a strong rumour, would be serious up for them playing!

[rosspep]

Hi everyone, does anybody have any ideas when the villacamp tickets sell out?

[rdaphne]

is it just me or are the flights very expensive this year ?

[Kuki]

I think it might be connected with Euro 2012 in the same time and Olympics few weeks later

scarab, where have you found an apartment and how much is it? I've heard the heat in the mornings is nearly unbearable!

I'm also going alone, I'm a little nervous but if it's like most festivals, people are so nice & welcoming I'm sure it won't be hard to find a group to tag along with (:
