DDave Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Doubt the Roses will be about this year what with Ian Brown doing his solo stuff again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJTM Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Don't think Stone Roses will ever play again by the looks of it. Liam or Noel could easily be bumped up for headliner. If QOTSA are announced for Mad Cool now, I would think one of those would headline alongside AM and that gets the British & Irish over to Beni. What about smaller UK bands that will have albums out recently or next year/recording now that we think could be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in a lowly slot this year, could be considerably higher up the bill this time. What about fall out boy or blink for Saturday headliner and Arctics for Sunday? They had an American band on the Saturday this year and then Brits on the Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremousse Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Tomorrow Depeche Mode will be announced at Vieilles Charues (France) at 6PM (clue given on the fb page of Vieilles Charrues with the same red that on the bill), which happens the same week that Beni. QOTSA are also for sure at Mad Cool (probably tomorrow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Alice will presumably get a decent slot (if they're not going back to Mad Cool after pulling out this year, that is). The Horrors as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danz026 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 In fact looking at previous headliners, Foals this year, Portishead and Los Planetas 2015, Tame Impala and Klaxons 2014, I don't really understand why Royal Blood aren't big enough.

I’m not expecting 4 worldwide superstars. This is Benicassim, and as a regular for the last 7 years, I’m well aware of this. Anyway, Klaxons didn’t headline in 2014, they were way down the list (4th down the line up on the night they played.), ditto Tame Impala. Likewise, Los Planetas didn’t headline in 2015, it was Florence, The Prodigy, Blur and Portishead. The latter was an odd choice, but they have sold millions of units over the past 25 years. I think that Royal Blood would make a worthy main sub one of the nights at Benicassim next year, but with respect, they’re not in the same league as Florence, Blur, The Prodigy, Portishead, Major Lazer, Chemical Brothers, Muse, Kendrick, The Weeknd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Kasabian. I hope that they play next year though, as they’ll go down really well, and haven’t performed at Benicassim before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFullShaboo Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 QOTSA announced yesterday for Mad Cool and Gorrilaz have been announced for Bilbao BBK. Was confident we were going to get at least one of these! The wait is starting to get to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bloody hope not. I can accept they'll be 1 x crap pop/r&b/hip-hop headliner over the course of the weekend, but please not too. On a different matter, Mad Cool is starting to shape up nicely, with QOTSA, Fleet Foxes, MGMT, Future Islands & Real Estate all announced over the last few days. I'd have taken any/some/all of these for FIB 2018, so there's some good names here who have been taken out of the running for Benicassim, as there's unlikely to be any overlap/duplicates.

SCG95 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Expecting Bruno Mars, would settle for him on the Thurs to kick things off. As for Saturday, it's gotta be AM with Miles Kane or Tame Impala on the sub-slot for me. New track from Tame Impala on the way imminently. Would also love to see DMA's on the bill - they've been announced for Neighbourhood Weekender in May so I fancy some sort of European tour/dates through the summer to go with that. I guess we're ruling out MGMT sadly with them playing MC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, Kevin Parker has claimed Tame Impala won't tour until 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
