0114 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 How expensive would it of been to book one of either Jamie T, Miles Kane, Blossoms, Courteeners, Reverend and the Makers, Jake Bugg, Wombats? Really scrimping and scraping this year imo. The dance acts are equally as few and far between. If this is a sign of the way the festival is going then I think this will have to be my last year and try something else next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blossoms and Courteeners played last year so it would have been really uninspiring if they were booked again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True can't deny that but he must have gotten a big crowd last year and he's headlining so many festivals this summer its ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCG95 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Chase and Status is a good addition. Across the bill there's a bit of everything for all. Line up aside, if it's your first time going I can safely assure you that Benicassim is a fantastic festival and you'll have a great time.

thelemon Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Do the headliners on the main stage tend to clash with the headliners on the secondary stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually an overlap, other than a direct clash, but this Clashfinder from last year will give you more of an idea on how things pan out. Bear in mind though, it's literally 3-5 mins to get from any one stage to another, so easy to move around the site in minimum time. https://clashfinder.com/s/fib2017/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it will be corrrect, but until we have the stage splits/set times confirmed, take it with a big pinch (rock) of salt; https:///s/fib2018/ (p.s. it’s definitely work in progress, as Magic Gang are on before Magic Gang!!!) I see they have wolf slice clashing with Liam Gallagher on the Sunday night. Was hoping to see both of them how easy is it to go between stages could possible catch part of both sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitz_xoxo Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Are the lockers needed / useful? Like is it just an empty space for bags etc or does it have plugs (being very hopeful here). Really it would be needed for charging phones / leaving a light top into. I'm staying in Oropesa, so won't be camping.

I wouldn't bother if you're not camping, as 1) just take a portable charger with you, and 2) you won't need a light top - t-shirt all night is fine, as it doesn't drop less than about 22-23c, even at 4am-6am 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irelandfan Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I' in campfest glamping too was wondering sane thing about the lockers will it have charging point etc in them.

Have to admit, I’ve got a bit bored of the AMs over the past couple of albums. It was about time they changed it a bit, IMO.

The album is definitely a grower I've been listening to the leak all week and it does get better i really appreciate it but I can also see why its getting bashed so much cause it lacks all the riffs and heavy drumming which is what people expect of AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't too bothered about them not playing, still, If you're asking me if I would choose Arctic Monkeys over the killers and Travis Scott, it's a very easy yes. I'll still be going to TRNSMT to see them. I love the monkeys, their setlist will be littered with some cracking tunes, I just don't like this album at all.
