Benicassim 2016

chris_ie

Myself and my wife thinking bout heading over this year. Usually a Glasto goer until about 5 years ago. Had thought about going to Logitude over here but like the lineup of Benicassim. Read some dodgy stories and some good stories about the festival! Had planned on camping but the heat sounds crazy. Was bad enough a few years at Glasto! A lot of the hotels seem to be booked out now so I'll have to to a bit more searching.

have a look in castellon for a hotel, but factor in transport to and from the festival each night. it's €50 for a 4 day return bus ticket.

Taxi is about €25 each way

You'll get a great deal on a festival ticket on the Fans facebook page. I think I posted a link earlier in the thread. Lots & lots for sale

Why is everyone selling.... do they know something I don't?

Just the usual , big groups decide pre christmas it would be a great idea to go to a festival in spain next year, buy early bird tickets. Then one or two drop out and leave the rest of the group trying to flog their tickets for them.

Would buses be running after the festival? I had heard that taxis were easy enough to get.

Yeah, right up to 6am. They are private coaches. They just keep doing round trips to castellon all night.

Soooo what did everyone think?

I had a great weekend! I only saw Le Galaxie, Vaccines, Biffy, Muse, bit of Bloc Party, Catfish & the Bottlemen, Vaccines and 1975. No complaints!

The beach in Benicassim was beautiful and really close to where we were staying. The buses were handy to get to and from the festival site or into the town for a bit to eat before heading to the festival. I thought the price of drink in there was a bit much, €9 for a spirit and dash and even €3 for a 500ml bottle of water :mad: Although there was a stand doing €10 mojitos that were very generous with the alcohol!

Hope all who went had a good one!
