Does anyone know if this takeover will bring a whole new team? Or do they just oversee the operation? What I mean is will the bookers from previous years still have their jobs or is it a complete overhaul? I did find one of the bookers in twitter but a drunken tweet of a picture of the crowd size of vetusa morla got me blocked by him. 

It's a whole new team.  The Maraworld office has closed, and so I've been told it's a complete overhaul.  My concern is if they have the contacts, pulling power and €€€'s to bring it back to a standard Benicassim line up.  I guess we'll find out over the next 6-9 months.

Yeah I see your concerns 100%, i was harsh on the bookers last year but looking through the years they had the right ideas and knew how to please the crowds but they must have been held back so much last year with the budget and I bet the take over halted spending as their time was up so wouldn’t have been any point in piling the money in! 

 

Having said that, a whole new team with new ideas could bring in something special! I think the name of FIB could bring in names on its own but it’s not like a massive festival where acts take pay cuts to pay, I just hope they had a plan in place budget wise

First tweet since last festival! The list of acts to pick from gave me a little twinge in my pants I’m not going to lie! Some belting DJs in there as well! Hopefully exciting things to come 

Seems like a realistic list as well. Hopefully they actually listen to the responses. That’s me got a bit of the buzz back again.

Wonder if they’re using data/votes from last year, or the new owners have their arse in gear and already scouted with agents that a lot of the provided names are potentially available for next summer.

don't want to say it looks promising yet though, seen it all too often with FIB.

but an interesting list of names anyhow

Rather perculiar that this year they've provided a predetermined list to select from. Would be extremely strange to end up with a headliner which wasn't one of those listed.

Best surprises on the list for me,

The Rapture, Yo La Tengo, Supergrass, Depeche Mode, Phoenix, The Hives and Green Day - Give me 3 of them and ill be happy!

Looks to me like they’ve actually done their homework to see who’s potentially available to them next summer and not just thrown together some unrealistic list (like TRNSMT have).

Hopefully we get something next week about dates, prices and maybe even location! I keep flicking through the list they tweeted out with all the acts and I must say it’s well and truly sucked me back in 

List ?

THe last tweet they did had like a list of acts and you could pick who you would like to see, obviously took it all with a pinch of salt but some of the mid to smaller tier acts on there could be a real possibility! Just shown some serious intent from them to throw some of the names on there out for people to pick

There’s a TBA next to Spain but the dates about a week too early for beni.

Anyway, into October on Tuesday, certainly taking their time.

I can’t see why they’d drop the survey if they weren’t planning on going ahead with everything. I feel like last year’s figures can’t have been the best so maybe they’re looking at ways of lowering costs but still trying to produce something special. But I couldn’t agree more with the fact that it wouldn’t take a lot to top last year’s bill ?

With no luck in last nights Glastonbury sale, and no current news on Benicassim, i'm feeling seriously downhearted about this upcoming festival season. 

Surely an announcement of the festival date this week? 

I love the way we are in October and you talk about next year's festival season as upcoming!  That's an optimistic viewpoint, and one I share!

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
