If so how far it is away from the centre of Bilbao? The standard tickets don't include camping, you buy a separate camping ticket. The festival "HQ" is at the football stadium at San Mames - this is where the wristband exchange is, where the shuttle buses go from, and also there is a signed walking route which starts from there (and if you set off at certain times you get accompanied by a marching band). You can walk up to the festival site (and it is VERY up) in 25-30 minutes from the stadium, and it is easy to walk back down that way when leaving the festival. So any hotel within walking distance of the stadium is ideal. There are is also a regular bus route which gets you from the city centre to at least near the festival site, but we didn't need to us this so not sure how useful it is coming back afterwards, I expect that bus route will have stopped by the time the later acts are on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBK would be my priority if the lineup was there. I've been to Bilbao before in 2018 but it's a nice place so I'd be happy to return. That said I may have to start looking at a booking com in Madrid. May just do two days around the LCD Soundsystem day. 3-4 days is a bit of a marathon for me now. Or I may end up staying in Ireland, seeing the Smile in March so aside from LCD and perhaps Vampire weekend/Janelle Monae it'd be cheaper to buy tickets to a standalone gig if they happen in Dublin.

My advise would be don't camp and stay in a hotel within walking distance to the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always stay in Catalonia and book it for the next year while I'm there. Go on to booking.com search San Mames stadium and sort it by distance. The attached doesn't look too bad ... I should add google the distance from the statuim to the hotel amd check the hotel webiste for a better deal. Usually if you sign up to the website you can get a discount.

This year for Sziget i booked one (very average) apartment in the apartment complex in Budapest one year ahead and paid something like 450€ for 6 nights. A month before the festival i checked Booking if there is anything left and in the same complex apartment, excatly the same apartment as mine was up there for 1800€ for 7 days.

Thanks but was hoping for something closer to 100 euros/night even if further away. Do we know what time of day the lineup is usually announced?
