Benicassim 2012

[sprostongreen]

I'll ignorethe fact that boot Jessie J is playing, strange woman who just screams.

Bob Dylan tho, happy with that in terms of he's a legend and i've never seen him before. Maybe he can't sing anymore but did anyone really complain when going to see the stone roses live back in the day when they knew ian brown actually couldn't sing a note in tune? I'll be drunk and singing along having a rare time.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

[swordfish]

Nope the headliners are all announced, they tweeted - New Order, Stone Roses, ATDI, Bob and Flo

Not sure whose co-headlining or what not but that's it for headliners (and I assume the majority of acts are now announced too)

[KANKLES]

Am delighted dildo has been announced, was expecting kasabian, blur or some shite like that.

Its better to have something different instead of the same shite.

Line up is shaping up, canni wait to c stone roses, noel, at the drive in and bob dylan

[agould]

Yeah I heard Dylan only plays Piano, and there is no crowd interaction any more! But Honestly I'm not too bothered! Gonna try and make the most of it!

[Koshernoob]

Dylans a cool, surprise addition....pretty damn excited for TEED. This will be my first European fest/first time traveling to Europe. One thing I would like to know from any of you that have been here is that if someone were to look for acid, would they have trouble finding some?

[Shaun Child]

I'm also looking forward to T.E.E.D

Yeah I'm sure there'll be plenty of stuff going around, I'll be on the lookout too haha. Can't wait for summer now, starting to feel like it over here already!

[Koshernoob]

Thanks for the response! Yeah besides Stone Roses and and a few others I don't really care who I see, so might aswell drop!

[rug568]

It's an odd line up. They've got some golden oldies, some decent established bands and a couple of wicked up and coming ones as well.

Ed sheeran, Jessie J and Example are a massive turd on an otherwise solid line up.

[the salmon]

Well nobody saw Bob Dylan coming, though Hop Farm did announce him and its same promoter isnt it?

So thats our headliners in place, least that speculation can stop, think there are about 80 acts (according to last years line up) and we have about 60 so still more to announce, though i have little expectation of any big ish names.

Though Suede are at Hop Farm, wouldn't mind them getting a slot

[gold_soundz]

I seriously wouldn't even bother seeing Bob Dylan. I know I'll be elsewhere when he's on....Saw him last October, and it was almost sad to be there - his voice is completely unrecognizable, and his band were pretty awful too...I didn't even realize he'd played 'All Along the Watchtower' until someone told me afterwards.

So this is just a heads up to those of you getting all excited about it.

Sure, "i saw Bob Dylan" will be a great story for the grandchildren...but not much else!

[Copperknob]

Anyone know if we can expect any more acts to be added or is that it now?

Also, saw Sonisphere has been cancelled and Queen are looking for a new venue... think it's possible?

anyone heard their policy on glass bottles?

i know at leeds you have to pour or your vodka into plastic bottles before you go cos they dont allow any glass. whats it like here anyone know?

[jonnyhallam]

no policy on glass as far as im aware. We were dinking our rachmaninov vodka straight from the expensive 4euro glass bottle!

[irnbru]

You're not allowed to take drink into the festival but the campsite is pretty much do what you want and no one stops you getting in or out. Its probably in the rules somewhere that there is no glass but its definitely not one thats enforced

[Stevenjmclean]

You are aloud glass in the campsite, but be careful I had some beer in a carrier bag that wasn’t in the direct sunlight and it exploded due to the heat. Nothing was aloud in the arena and they were even patting people down last year.

I have no interest in like any of the headliners. Not really looking forward to them. Going to give At The Drive In a listen, being listening to Dylan recently but from some live videos his voice is shot. As I’ve said before I will be no where near this Ed Sheeran guy: he is everything that is wrong with modern music.

[Kingdom of Fife]

Buzzing for Benni now. Me and my mate are flying from New-Alica on the 11th and coming back the 18th. I just noticed it's 'the running of the bulls festival' at the same time in Palmona. I'm tempted to travel there on the first night (6 hours train) then back down to Benni on the Thursday. Anyone else doing this? Not booked up for any accomodation yet but will do at the end of the month. Just looking for a basic appartment really, any good deals out there? Cheers in advance, John

[chel]

I've just got my tent and I thought I was being smart in buying a pop up tent to save on weight etc when flying but now I'm faced with the dilemma of size its about 30 inches wide and the same tall when it's packed away. Has anyone had experience flying with a pop up tent of this size? Pretty worried :/

Looks like we're getting the lineup dates on the 19th (from the facebook)

[philly_eds]

Surely there's still loads of acts to come? Just counted up, and there's only 59 acts on the 2012 line up. Compare that to last years 84, and that doesn't even include all the acts listed below the main 3 stages....

[rug568]

Splits? if so i guess we'll find out if Florence & At the drive in are co-headlining on the thursday, ;p maybe get a few more acts aswell

[Welshyyy]

I reckon ATDI on Thursday, Flo on the Friday, Stone Roses on the Saturday and Bob on the Sunday.

Hopefully we'll get some DJs as well.
