[the salmon]

Any chance of James?

[the_derminator]

Miles Kane, Everything Everything, Chvrches all decent enough. Might need to do a bit of research on some of the others

Got to be better bands announced, unless they spent all their money on a super headliner.

[KrisMalta]

I would have expected a better line up by now to be honest.. Hopefully, they've got some bigger names to publish in the next additions..

[KrisMalta]

Some of my friends are actually thinking of leaving Benicassim mid-through and going to Monegros for the one day electronic festival and then coming back.. Would consider it if benicassim line up isn't that good..

[davywalsh7]

Really hoping the next announcements are gonna be better. Bilbao bbk and Optimus are miles ahead at the min IMHO.

[KrisMalta]

Woodkid is good to be honest. I am looking forward to hearing him.. then there are a few good ones and the rest I never heard of lol

[aixa]

As promised load of new acts have been announced. Not any headliner as it will be announced in about 14 days.

Not everybody is happy as expected, but can any other festival match the weather, the beach, the atmosphere ?

Come on lads, lets be honest, 50.000 fibers have 50.000 different tastes.

Not one yet, has been dissapointed to be in benicassim on past editions

I was told something crappy earlier, my friend in Spain said that they were saying on Spanish news that this year would be the last Beni, due to the amount of money they owe. It went to administrators at the end of 2012, but was saved. Has anyone else heard anything? Gutted if that's the case

the FIB has been making a good profit for every year since 1995

and yet no one wants to buy it.

That part is extremely relevant, and suggests that it's not as financially healthy as you're believing.

That is a matter of opinión. Till 2009 it was owned by spanish business brothers. It brings to the Benicassim economy about €20 million per year. Last year ticket sales was around €5 milion,.... how much the 35.000 + spend in drinks and food inside the arena, has not been published, but a lot of cash. The company that owns most of the land where the festival takes place, also owns: Aquarama, Villacamp, and the three major hotels in Benicassim, (it is also the company that is owned most of the money by the current festival owners) the local council, the provintial and regional goverment, all support and help the FIB in the tune of €1 million..............so.. one way or another the Benicassim Festival will go ahead this year and next years, with the current owners or not

for how things work in England at least, turnover and local economic benefits aren't anything to do with it, nor is who owns the land where an event owned by someone else takes place.

Simple fact is that they've failed to find a buyer (at a price they'd accept, anyway). That tells more of a story than all you list.

It might survive, it might not; personally I think it probably will, if it really is profitable (it might not be, the statements made might be untrue).

[HaSTUken]

Upps! Not spreading shit, honestly. I was simply relaying what my Spanish friend saw on the news, I love Beni and would want to know if someone else had heard the same. I hope it goes on and on!

[lauralol]

Whinge whinge whinge! I'm so excited, whoever's playing

[foolee]

Hi all, how do you know how long transfers from beni to airports because obviously you need to know so they kind of match with your flight times, if that makes sense? cheers for the help! Be a first time beni goer but working out everything before committing!

PS any other ways of getting from beni to airports bar shuttle? cheers!

Just a little bit of useless information..

La Roux ‏@larouxofficial

Really excited to be playing Benicassim this year, on Thursday 18th July

Don't know whether she meant to release what day or because that's the start of the festival? Oh well it's something.

[mauls]

Have heard a rumour that The National might be the final headliner this year -anyone else heard similar?
