Benicassim 2013!

[LEOH35]

Decathlon is in Castellon not Benicassim if I'm not mistaken. Castellon isn't far though, We're staying in a hotel there, Sure it's only 10 or 15 minutes in a cab

Either way it's Miles cheaper than 'rent a tent'

[LEOH35]

60 for a 4 man (realistically only going to have 3 people in it) tent for 8 days? i doubt its cheaper then rent a tent?

[LEOH35]

Its 20 euros for a 2/3 man

Just started to look into tents. Obviously with a British festival i've been fussy in the past, opting for double skinned pop up tents for the weather. At Beni there isn't going to be rain so will a single skin tent still be fine? Will the tents heat inside be affected if the tents single or double?

Also any ideal colour?

Tempted to go with this, only 1.2kg ideal for the suitcase! http://www.outdoorworld.co.uk/gelert-monodome-2-tent

Or this... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_910581_langId_-1_categoryId_236902#tab2

Thoughts? Cheers

Just get a shitty little tent. you're barely in it

[tomainley]

Realistically you don't need a tent to sleep. Get a lilo, sleep on the beach and have one tent for bags etc. One for actually using. 40 euros as opposed to the 120 mentioned earlier for rent a tent.

We slept in our tent quite a lot, purely because there were massive ants outside where we were. But it wasn't that bad especially since we were in the shade, so a shitty little tent big enough for a couple of lilos and all your stuff is fine.

A hammock if your pitched Up near a couple of trees is another decent option, so comfy haha

Getting tedious waiting now

[Habylab]

Latitude's new bastard sister festival Longitude has already nicked Foals and Phoenix, from what could have been at Beni.. lets see the damage Latitude makes

[KrisMalta]

I already bought the tickets. Come what, come may, I'll be there come Summer It's the countdown to the actual festival which is tedious haha

[ThornyITFC]

I'm pretty sure there will be an announcement on acts this week. I spoke to a woman on twitter who does the PR for the festival in Ireland and she confirmed it to me. Not sure what day though or whether it will be a headliner or just some more acts.

[dp313]

The official twitter has confirmed they are hoping to release a chunk of acts in the coming days including the remaining headliner.

[Habylab]

I just have no idea who to expect. Really don't. I want some kind of good old band, but am clueless.

[dp313]

To be honest I have absolutely no concerns about the line-up.

Every year there are shocks, yelps of disappointment, hoorays of happiness etc etc

but the line-up is pretty consistent every year,and realistically the music makes up only a small part of why this festival is so god,

im only eager for names to give us something to chat about down the pub!!!

who ever is announced it will be an amazing week or so yet again!!! bring it on

Saw the strypes on saturday night in liverpool, no words can describe how good they were, probably the best ive ever seen. seems strange saying that about a band made up of 15/16 year olds, but they blew me away.

are kasabian still the front running rumour for 4th headliner? or is the possibility of blur/the strokes too much to ask for?

[conorg1993]

I think the 'guesswork' seems to suggest Kasabian, or maybe a more legend type act, though I think most of us are purely finger in the air at who may be likely, who isnt already playing at rival festivals and has a free slot over the time the festival is on.
