Never has been a hip hop festival though has it.

No but you'd expect maybe 1 reasonably well known representation.

2016: Kendrick Lamar

2015: Public Enemy

Plus the fact that they said they'd be getting a replacement in for Tyler, it's poor.

[gregory]

104 acts total for this year. 

[gedkelly]

whats the problem with Charlotte Church ? How High and North Country Boy are fantastic tracks x

If I wanted to go to a festival and see the top hip hop artists then I wouldn't be going to Beni. The indie artists that they have this year (it is mainly an indie festival) are some of the biggest available right now and probably make up the best overall line up in a fair few years.

[gregory]

As far as I can count, these are the international (non-Spanish) acts playing each day;

Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun
Bonobo [live]	deadmau5	Biffy Clyro	Crystal Fighters
The Weeknd	Foals	Red Hot Chili Peppers	Kasabian
Stormzy	Blossoms	Liam Gallagher	Years & Years
Ride	The Sherlocks	Dinosaur Jr.	Dua Lipa
Kaleo	2manydjs	The Strypes	The View
Mick Jenkins	Temples	Mura Masa	Kaytranada
The Courteeners	Blaenavon	Peter Doherty	Slaves
The Jesus And Mary Chain	Theme Park	TCTS	Ron Gallo
Sunflower Bean	Ella Rae	B.Traits	Declan McKenna
Twin Peaks	Olof Dreijer (The Knife)	Rüfüs	Tiga
Dream Wife	Charlotte Church	Lao Ra	Peaking Lights
Kolsch	Austra	Marika Hackman	The Blaze
HONNE	James Vincent McMorrow	Desperate Journalist
Sylvan Esso	Mykki Blanco
Troyboi	Childhood
Ibibio Sound Machine	Jameszoo

Bigott (indie-rock and they sing in English), Belako (noisy/shoegaze), Mourn (shoegaze. they played Pitchfork Chicago and Primavera a couple years ago) and Joe Crepúsculo (Hot Chip gone crazy. Insanely good two years ago and must see).

[oxford20]

This is acts on the main stage......

JUEVES 13: THE WEEKND, BONOBO (live), STORMZY, RIDE, BELAKO, SUNFLOWER BEAN.

VIERNES 14: FOALS, DEADMAU5, LOS PLANETAS, BLOSSOMS, MOURN, THE SHERLOCKS.

SÁBADO 15: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, BIFFY CLYRO, LIAM GALLAGHER, DINOSAUR JR., THE STRYPES.

DOMINGO 16: KASABIAN, CRYSTAL FIGHTERS, YEARS & YEARS, DUA LIPA, DECLAN McKENNA, EVRIPIDIS AND HIS TRAGEDIES.

 

So assume that means the last acts on each night will be Bonobo, Deadmau5, Biffy Clyro and Crystal Fighters.... I hope that is the case anyway

Would much rather Biffy was on before RHCP

Not really sure what point you're making, have I said the lineup in general isn't good or that Beni is a hip hop festival?

Tyler was on the lineup, he pulled out, then Beni said they'd be replacing him. They subsequently haven't made any effort to, thus my comments. Dunno how anyone could argue that not being pretty poor from the festival considering a fair share of people would've been hip hop fans buying tickets to see Tyler because of him being banned from the UK.

Maybe mala rodriguez is the replacement?

I'd consider myself a pretty seasoned hip hop listener and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever heard a song by her.

Hardly a replacement is it? They've had over a month to sort something out and still another month before it starts, it's not like he's dropped out a few days before the festival.

To be honest, I'd say it was poor from him not them. A lot of work goes into booking artists, replacements are not always available and in this business I imagine a month is pretty short notice.

Can't please everyone but I think they have done a good job this year.

The blame would be squarely on him if Beni hadn't specifically said that they were gonna replace him.

If they hadn't made the point of saying that I don't think people would be too fussed, I wouldn't have been as bothered anyway. Still think it would've been a little underwhelming for a major festival to at least have some hip hop representation but it would've been much more understandable if they'd just been straight about it.

Really hope that doesn't mean Kaytranada is gonna clash with Kasabian.

Or that Kaleo and Stormzy will clash (my friends'll want to see stormzy ), or that Mura Masa and Biffy Clyro will clash as we all wanted to see Mura but Biffy would no doubt win there. Stage splits are always the saddest announcement as you find out what acts you'll miss

No Tyler, The Creator replacement? Really? Mick Jenkins must be a white guy singing folk songs...

[andytommo]

Isn't Mykki Blanco a rapper?

I already mentioned Mick Jenkins a while back. I would assume he was already to be added to the lineup as he is nowhere near the household name Tyler is. It'd be like replacing Biffy Clyro with the Sherlocks.

Yes. But she was already on the lineup and again, like replacing Biffy Clyro with the Lancashire Hotpots. Not a recognised name in the world of hip hop.

[ConorC]

Future/Nas/Rae Sremmurd/Travis Scott/Mac Miller/Young Thug. I'm not necessarily a big fan of them all but they're all names of a similar stature to Tyler who are in and around europe at the time and available off the top of my head.

Probably seems like I'm moaning a bit but to not have one major name from a major genre on the whole lineup? Why's anyone making excuses for them?

Apparently Nas was lined up to replace Tyler but he had to have a hip hoperation.

I'm with you Conor. Unusually unrepresented, and they said they would replace Tyler, and it looks like they haven't. So poor show all round on that front really. 

Apart from that, I actually really like this lineup now. I don't love any of the bands that much, but I'm happy there's so much to choose from that I've never seen before

[lannister]

Link for the "it will be a replacement for Tyler" please?

In the exact same boat myself
