FIB (Benicassim) 2024

[SeshHead]

FIB have started teasing information about their 2024 festival. If the past few years are anything to go by, I’ll be skipping this one too.

They'd need to go back to the old bookings of pre 2019 for me to ever consider it again. Not travellling to spain to watch small bands even tho i lived it in 2017 &2018

Really hoping for a decent lineup this year. Fell in love with the festival after that fantastic 2017 line up, attended again in 18 and 19.

However I'm not too confident, assuming still under the new owners that took over in 2020??

Even just on or two big names that are doing other major festivals would be enough to get me back. Miss that place

Not sure how legit this is, basically found it on a Spanish equivalent to this place. I don’t know much about the festival but Royal Blood, Libs and Yungblud headlining seems ok (but not pre 2020 levels) to me but then I love the libertines.

A very reliable source confirms to me that this lineup is true. It is not a fake.

If it is official, then I hope they correct the spelling of Kenya Grace's name before they post it!

I know it’s the whole “well it’s a Spanish festival what do you expect?!” But it does say international festival in the name. I know from previous years lots of Spanish have said thag it’s an opportunity to see acts from over seas, it just seems so domesticated in the last few years…it baffles me how they can make any money selling tickets at €44

[Toñobeni]

They make money with the drinks (beer and cocktails), with the extras (showers, camping, reaccess).

Aside from the top 3 it's awful.

I made the mistake of listening to a few of the acts I’d never heard of, the teskey brothers seemed talented but f**k me they’re slow paced, so lord knows where they’re going to fit in. Samurai were shite, I just find it astounding how far it’s fell, it’s sad to see

[Toñobeni]

Here we knew it first 😉

Black Eyed Peas just announced that wasnt on our list.

[TipToes14]

Maybe black eyed peas were a later booking? I’m hoping it means the leak wasn’t genuine….I know it’s only a 5% chance but just let me pretend for now 😂

I've got that Boom Boom Huh?

[birchtree29]

Black Eyed Peas without Fergie is worse than Manchester United without Fergie

“More surprises today” apparently…so I’m just expecting yungblud (cannot stand) and the libertines.

Ignore that, just seen this wade character has been announced 

[superhans]

Royal Blood, Black Eyed Peas and Yungblud headlining?

Have the libertines dropped out? Surely they’d have been announced before the acts they’ve just announced  

[Yokai]

Since the other names except Black Eyed Peas were on the leaked information, I would say that is the most likely scenario.

[SeshHead]

What a shame. It seems like the festival has transitioned from an iconic international festival to a local Spanish festival. I was hoping the recent years of poor line-up decisions could be due to ownership changing or covid related finances but it looks like FIB is over for most of us non-Spanish fans. RIP FIB.

[TipToes14]

I can’t see many Brits or Irish making the trip again, sad to see, had some belting times over there, I can’t see how it’ll make any money this year. Acts seem weak as piss and 90% of comments are negative. But I Suppsoed for €44 if you’re semi local it’s daft to not go

To put it into perspective, here are the lineups from 2016, 2017 and 2018

Went all 3, 2019 as well, I remember feeling disappointed by 2019 as they promised us all sorts and never delivered…but I’d give my left bollock to have anything like 2019s line up again over there
