Can anyone who's done the same before advise on the shuttle bus that runs to and from the festival site. Is it reliable? Does it operate all night? What's the cost? If I remember correctly it s starts 7ish up to 9 30 ish and starts running back 2 ish . I think it was 40 euros and was hard work at times , especially if you piled out en masse , first night was a bit of a free for all but they kind of sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have looked up things about the shuttle buses from last year and if seems after a bit of a mess up on the 1st night they ran smoothlyfor the rest of the festival. Seems most that had issues were trying to get later bus to the festival (we plan to go in early each day) and those trying to get bus back after the headline act so around 2am (Worst comes to it party all night and get public transport back next morning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitz_xoxo Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 10 (5 couples) of us going so we needed quiet a large Villa really to stay in. Not a lot of options, but we have preliminary booked a place in Alcossebre. it's about 30 mins drive away so hoping taxis are nice Anyone stayed there before? First timer btw! We were gonna try stay in one of the shuttle towns, but not really a whole lot of options with such a large group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 7 years going to Beni, one thing you should never ever rely on, is getting taxis to/from the festival site, not unless you are prepared for long waits (approx. 2 hours between 2am-5am, away from festival) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 5 couples so trying to get a couple apts together now is the hard bit. Booking.com etc just group the 10 together and try put us in single beds, sofa beds and the likes. Don't think the girlfriends will appreciate that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irelandfan Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Looking like there's a chance I be doing this on my own as rest of the group are stalling on booking flights etc. Many on here went on their own before and did yous camp or book hotel... any help be appreciated and may be rewarded with pints in July lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseboy11 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Is there any more lineup rumours for this outside of Eminem? Seems awfully quiet compared to the other big Spanish festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems awfully quiet compared to the other big Spanish festivals Beni’s main big announcement (with more than 2 or 3 first names) is usually towards the mid/end of Jan. Mad Cool have come out of the blocks early this year, as they’ve got 80k tickets to shift, and BBK have followed suit, as they’re both competing head to head for the Spanish market that weekend. In general, FIB is a different market to MC/BBK, although I appreciate a few heads have been turned by their respective line ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with what you say but there are still a LOT of bands on both those respective lineups that could play Beni, and until I see the first 'big' announcement I feel a little shafted, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamiet7 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 First time going to the festival. Any advice would be appreciated. Going with my partner both 26. Not fussed about what hotel/airbnb as long as not too pricey. Anywhere near festival seems a fortune Seen few people say Oropesa is that best option? Any help would be great...

Thanks in advance my 9th year in Oropesa , its quiet but that suits us and can be an arse to get back after the fest . We love the place but we are an "older" group . there are loads of restaurants and bars but not many if any themed brit type bars (thank fuck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
