CJTM Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Arctics headlined 2011 & 2013, and his stock has only grown since 2016. I just wouldn't rule it out, would be a the cheaper option than Eminem? Hoping there is a good undercard of at least 15 bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Eminem is on the lineup he will get the Saturday slot like chili peppers last year. Think killers will get the Sunday slot like kasabian last year Royal blood on the Friday along with 1 or 2 more co-headliners (probably a dance act with them maybe chemical brothers?) That leave the Thursday slot to fill. Maybe someone like the sterophonics could do it If they have Eminem in the lineup I don't see them having arctic monkeys too as both would demand a big appearance fee and both would want the Saturday headliner slot. I went down the same route as last year Thursday - American pop/hip hop artist Friday - British up and coming band Saturday - Massive American band Sunday - Massive British band Agree that Royal Blood on Friday will probably be a co-headline. Possibly 3-way with a Spanish act and a dance act, that wouldn’t shock me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday: Eminem Friday: Royal Blood Saturday: The Killers Sunday: Arctic Monkeys FIB doesn't have the funds/income to have Eminem AND the AM's, in addition to The Killers, not with only 35k-40k attendees, many of whom pay no more than £100 for their 4 day/1 week ticket. I think the funds would only stretch to one of these two, plus The Killers, with the likes of maybe Florence or Fatboy (or that similar cost/size) for Fri night, and something like a double headline bill of Stereophonics + Royal Blood for the first night of the festival???

Irelandfan Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 The fiberleaks page on Twitter hinted at Two Door Cinema Club appearing at benicassim this year so wouldn' be surprised to see them potentially co-headling with royal blood and a dance act on the Friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCG95 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I suspect AM will announce their dates next week, hence why it’s essential that FIB get something out this week. Travis Scott has only announced 1 date in Europe so far, so he must be in contention. As for a trio of acts for a night; Two Door, Hinds & a dance act/DJ would work. Roll on Thursday!

Christoph1955 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thank GOD everyone has stopped banging on about Jack White. Should be absolutely nowhere near a headline slot. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancker19 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Probably Catfish and The Bottlemen could fill the co-headline slot with TDDC for example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Kane i've heard a few rumours of. Would like to see couple bands like the Pigeon Detectives and The Wombats lower down the bill.

Would have thought it was the basic lineup with a few acts for each day announce plus the headliners for the thursday and either saturday or sunday to be announced too. This will be the one where you decide whether to go or not I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a potential big guitar band missing to me, assuming the AM are at MC which is why I think they'll be a double headliner for that. Foos are ruled out, RHCP played last year, Green Day don't seem to be doing anything next year. Arcade Fire anyone? - free that weekend and no Spanish dates, could well be an exclusive? Edit - forgot that the Killers had already been announced. TDCC, Eminem, Jamiroquai, FATM, Justice, Libertines, Tyler the Creator have all got to be in the mix for Beni this year.

andytommo Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Let's put our heads on the blocks then, ahead of Thursday's announcement - Who do you think the next/remaining 3 headliners will be, in addition to The Killers? I'm going; - ARCADE FIRE - EMINEM - JAMIROQUAI With The Streets, Stereophonics (but not to be announced for another 2 weeks at earliest), Royal Blood, & Lorde as the 4 x main stage subs. Who are you going with, folks??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
