Noeliam Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 The Strokes, Suede, The Voidz,The Blaze, Hot Chip, Modeselektor, Nils Frahm, Khruangbin, Brockhampton, Idles, Omar Souleymane! I'd go see all of them, and i don't really know the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 It's a great start. Strokes, Idles, Shame, Hot Chip and Suede are 5 of my favourite bands. The rest...not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) its pretty good, tempting me more than any other festival so far, but again not wowing me. Plus as I am doing Download with my mates, I need a lineup that will tempt my GF...this wont do it. Will wait for Lowlands and Pukkelpop now before making the final decision Edited December 17, 2018 by pryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Tickets go up Jan 7th. More names then I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Ah that's a shame, BBK was on my list of potential european festivals for 2019. There's a few names on there but not enough for me to part with my cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 With five albums to their name and a meteoric career, The Strokes will set foot on Bilbao BBK Live for the first time for an exclusive performance in the Iberian Peninsula, where they will run through the songs that have earned them recognition as one of the major 21st century bands.

gregory Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Shame AND Slaves AND Idles AND Sleaford Mods is good if you like that type of thing hey. Sadly, I don't. Aside from that, some good stuff on there though, with more to come. I'm happy. Edited December 17, 2018 by gregory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dum surfer Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Looking to go Bilbao anyone know what getting the pre-pitched tents are like? Is it worthwhile? or is it better staying in a hostel or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can count on at least one other show in Spain or Portugal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Ticket prices go up at the rather unusual time of 9pm on Jan 7th, which is midday Compton time #damn. If not Kendrick, could be linked to an artist announcement, otherwise why 9pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 There's a good BA flight from London but it lands at 19.40 on the first day Can anyone advise how long it would take to get from the airport to being inside watching bands? Seems like a schlep. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a schlep. Thanks. 20 min bus to city centre but may have to wait 10 mins to catch it. 15 min bus to festival site from near where the airport bus would drop you. Last year queues for this bus were mad on the first day, at least an hour, but they sorted it by day 2 so maybe won't happen again. Realistically an hour is possible if things go your way.

Very helpful! Sounds like there’s no queue to get wristbands on day 1 which makes a nice change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll miss a few acts, but headliners come on around 11/12 so you should be fine, and then all the dancey stuff goes on until 6/7am https://clashfinder.com/s/bbklive2018 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalopsia Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Tame Impala would be a decent headliner in my opinion, last played in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
