JFrase Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Just now, artexmonkey said: just read its the bus station, looks like may be a taxi back as we won't last till dawn Yeah it’s the bus station. I’m hoping they’re shuttle buses until the end of the fest, otherwise it’ll be a cab back for us too as won’t be making that late/early! I’ve emailed the company to check, so will see if I get a response! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bus companies are missing a trick if they don't give the option of a later bus there and an earlier bus back in addition to the ones already available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artexmonkey Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 only card payments at the festival, might be worth while taking a travel credit card or a prepaid card to avoid the fees for every swipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering where you seen that? If its because it says cashless system on the website I think they will have a system where you can top up your wrist band online or on site and pay with the wrist band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should get something by the end of the week. I do hope its not card only and the wristband system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For BBK Live with the same organisers, you could top up online using the barcode on the wristband and enter your bank details for an automatic refund of anything left on it a few days after the festival.

You can log into your account through emails and Google and top up. I never had any issues with it the weekend I used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyNedelko Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 First festival outside the UK, staying in fuengirola , so hopefully will get the bus in. Thursday looks excellent, Lathums, Inhaler, Blossoms & Arctic Monkeys. No nothing about then other acts on. Friday - Looking forward to Chemical Brothers, Kraftwerk, Hot Chip ( atthough debtable if I'll last to they come on after 2am😄) Saturday - Liam Gallagher highlight for me, doubt the rest will appeal to me. Will still be there to check them out and nosey about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on big form this year, his show in Belgium may even be the best headlining show I've ever seen in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you end up liking Caribou then try Bonobo for thursday 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see him now. Royskopp are a personal favourite of mine. Worth a listen if you haven't heard of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artexmonkey Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 fly in Wednesday and out Sunday. staying in fuengirola,taxi to and from festival should be looking at around 15 euros each way. early one Friday for the blossoms and monkeys ,later in sat and Sunday for the chemical brothers and liam. most probably the same sets as leeds and reading for the monkeys, new material pending plenty of siestas in the afternoon ,and the weather forecast looks at bit unsettled so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyNedelko Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Am I right in saying you can order a wristband and top it up online and then collect it when you get there. Weather looks class, almost in the 30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get an invoice for it and they will apply it when you get your wristband. I hope this makes sense. When you get the wristband there is a code on it that you need to enter online. They will ask for your Iban when topping up and you will receive an automatic refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
