Melt are saying this is the only festival you can see XX and FATM at the same festival so they're ruled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAlex Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) This could have put Bilbao back in the running for me, I take it from the font sizes there's another headliner to come as well?

Hopefully, but they could put Noel and alt-J as co-headliners as they did this year with Die Antwoord and TDCC. Let's wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Tickets go up to €135 (!!) on Monday, that's considerably more than this year, so I guess there is another big act to come, but who knows. If it's €135 for BBK and €155 for Mad Cool in 10 days time, I know which most people will go for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neacaisa Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 noel and alt-j is still a better combo than that horrific one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that has the much better (and bigger) lineup (and that's pretty much objective, not subjective). Regardless of that, personally I would go back to BBK, I like it up that mountain 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YunT Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) €135 is the most expensive price ever set for this festival, so I'm expecting another big headliner too. Neither Alt J or Noel will be at the top of the lineup. TDCC were announced as headliners this past edition, and none of them have been announced in those terms. In fact, I reckon Noel could be the only subliner announced so far as the names in this lineup follow an alphabetical order.

They sell more tickets, therefore their budget is bigger. BBK seemed to focus on a nice niche last year, I thought Mad Cool's lineup was bigger but a lot of my friends really liked what BBK brought to the table.

Odessa Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yeah Mad Cool looks better but I'm not gonna compare the two when my BBK ticket was £80. Also I've got return flights for £45 which is daft and I doubt it'd be that cheap to Madrid. Gorillaz, The xx, David Byrne and Parquet Courts is a great start. I'm not against seeing Noel Gallagher again either and Mexrrissey could be a laugh, hell even Alt-J might be ok as I've never bothered with them before when I've had the chance so at least it's something new. Intrigued to see who the last headliner is, hopefully Arctic Monkeys or Arcade Fire are in with a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, at the festival this year they were selling tickets for €75 which also upgraded you to a VIP for this year (2017), total bargain. It's a great festival (apart from the €9 beers) edit: also, I was meh to Alt-J before, but saw them this summer in Croatia and it ended up being one of the best sets I saw all summer, featuring some of the best lighting/set design I've ever seen.

Rico_Pliskin Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 So I went to Nos Alive last year and thought the sound engineering was quite amazing for an outdoor gig. Anybody have any comment on how stage sounds are for BBK. Was Depeche mode for you as crystal clear as it was for me last year? Really looking forward to Gorrilaz after listening to the album. David Byrne too wow. Triangulo de amor are pretty great too. Love hearing new bands. So who do you think is in the running for the final headline spot? I'm still hedging my bets on Yeah Yeah Yeahs. As for dance acts i'm thinking Caribou and Apparat and a slice of Jamie xx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModFFM Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 9 euro beers inside the arena but that included the glass too which you kept throughout the weekend. They did cheaper beer too. Remember you can also take your own beer into the campsite which unlike Benicassim is good temperature for keeping your beer cool during day/night. Mercadona supermarket right next to the coach stop in the centre, 22 cent cans - god I'd go back to BBK, loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyren Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 No real rock or heavier influence on the headliners, I think is a poor top three compared to surrounding festivals! Could have done with a Franz Ferdinand, Queens or something with a bit of grit. Gutted already got my tickets in, may sell up and hit MadCool. Anyone who's followed the announcements before know if they will throw any big bands in at this point or is that it for the main event?

Trk Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 They have stated today that there are still headliners to come (on Twitter & Facebook). It seems like The Chemical Brothers are going to co-headline with The xx (Friday 13th) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
