Bilbao BBK 2024

YES, YES, YES. Brilliant new additions. And just what I promised on timing!

[Fabrizzo]

Great lineup

[DDave]

That's a bit nice, that is. 

[UsernameHere]

I'm in. Very nice lineup and not only that but the day splits are well balanced for my taste. No weak day.

[solovki77]

It’s a Great lineup, but I expected they announced pj harvey as well… there’s a gap from 4 to 12 on her tour.

Glad to have booked my ticket, flights and accommodation a while ago, and the latest lime up announcement is a bonus! Seems great value compared to what British festivals are offering for value for money.

How likely are the big artists likely to clash with each other? I presume it will be Massive attack and then Prodigy would play after? Looking back at clashfinders for previous line ups of the festival it looks to be well staggered. The main difference is that the music starts late in the day and finishes late.

Looking forward to it!

You've perfectly answered your own question : )

It ended up really good!

We're thinking about coming back, but we're doing Open'er this July too and BBK is the following weekend... Might be a hard thing to do, flights and accommodation are one thing, energy is the other 😄

Done that trip before. Took a train from Gdynia all the way to Berlin, spent a couple of days there, then flew to Bilbao.

A few years back I did INmusic --> Opener --> BBK --> Benicassim back to back without returning to then UK between, aged 30. Anything is possible! lol

Good idea, thanks! The thing is we already have tickets for the return flights from Gdansk...

I just have to convince myself I'm like 21 y.o. again! And not getting nearer and nearer to the number 40 😄

 

Actually we'll probably go, wanna make that decision before the ticket prices go up.

Hoping they add Anna Calvi as a late bonus. She is in Europe touring at same time.

Hey! First timer here…lineup is looking pretty tasty! I’m curious, does the festival often sell out? I can already see some super cheap tickets on ticketswap, but not sure how long to wait.

For those that have been before, any feedback? I’ve read that in the past it has been fairly disorganised. Also, vibe for solo travellers? I always like to check after a weird experience I had at SMS festival one year (it all worked out in the end but some people weren’t very open to a non German speaker 😬). How international is BBK?

In order: no, it's not disorganised, good, quite.

[WFD]

It was really well organised last year, they take over part of the football stadium and the plaza outside it for the wristband exchange, shuttle buses and other activities. English is widely spoken, not a problem at all.

 

The toilets can get chaotic at peak times but apart from that it's fine.

[Giovanni]

It's very well organised, the festival venue is beautiful, the vibe is great. English is fine, but to know a few basic Spanish phrases helps too 😉

[Muddlin_thru]

Thanks! I’ve got a few Spanish words and phrases, but couldn’t hold a proper convo that’s for sure! 
what’s the feel with camping? I’ve seen some rec not to…but I think I’m a bit too late for a room.

People speak English but only polite to use some Spanish.

 

Camping was fine, not brilliant not bad either, and obviously means you get to bed quicker than a hotel in town.

[xxialac]

Damn - JPEGMAFIA cancelled.

 

On the other hand TIMETABLES!
