We’ve just released our first festival story from the 2011 festival, Sam Bennett tells us about his close encounter with a pair of “poo girls”.  We hope you enjoy reading it.  Why not send us your funniest/most memorable moments from 2011 and we’ll get them featured on the site.  Tell us which performances you loved and if something didn’t float your boat then why not let us know about that too.  Just contact us with details of your story.

The best 4 days of my life, no exaggeration! My favourite moment has to have been on day 3 (Saturday). I had already seen a truly astounding performance that night from “Mumford and Sons”, and was heading over from “Arctic Monkeys” to “Beirut” with a friend; just as we were passing the toilets, one portaloo toppled over a metre or two in front of us. So, quickly we lifted it back up, and 2 drunk teenage girls flopped out covered head to toe in blue disinfectant, a certain yellow liquid and vast amounts of another certain brown noxious goo. Needless to say everyone (even the FIB staff were crying with laughter). Also Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu (better known as Tinie Tempah) was on the same flight as us back to Gatwick. Just saying.

Had any similar portaloo experiences to Sam?  Tell us about them in the comments section below.

If you’re thinking of hitting Beni again next year then make sure you sign up for our Benicassim 2012 update service.

UPDATE: There are a limited number of tickets available at a special early bird price, visit www.benicassim.org.uk/tickets/ for more information.

Fear not, we don’t have the details just yet but if you sign-up for our free update service we’ll let you know as soon as things start taking shape.  In the mean time you can check out the line-up for Benicassim 2011.

FIB is not be the only major summer event in Benicàssim.  Rototom Sunsplash, which is the largest reggae festival in Europe, has confirmed that it wishes to take root in the town for at least 5 years.

The winner’s of this year’s SUPAJAM Fast Track To Benicassim competition are soon to be announced.  We’ll announce the winners as soon as we know.

This year’s festival is going to rock your world!

Held in Benicassim, near Barcelona, Benicassim mixes a fantastic blend of music with superb weather. If your idea of festival fun is being knee deep in mud, then this gig ain’t for you.

This year’s bill is already shaping up to be a cracker. Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Primal Scream, Arcade Fire and LOADS more have been confirmed. Artists seem as keen as ever to perform at Benicassim in 2011.

The latest batch of new additions to the event includes Big Audio Dynamite. Often referred to as ‘what Mick Jones did after The Clash’ the band are great to watch, check out the clip below.

BAD (Big Audio Dynamite) only reformed earlier this year, widely known for merging the sounds of reggae and hip hop they really have been responsible for some groundbreaking material. They’re sure to whip the Benicassim crowd into a frenzy at this year’s festival.

Layabouts have been confirmed, along with The Go! Team, Paolo Nutini and Brandon Flowers. The line-up also contains some breaking acts with Dorian set to perform.

There’s still a lot more to be added to this line-up but as you can see it’s already shaping up to be one FAT FESTIVAL. If you’re still not convinced then don’t forget Benicassim has already confirmed appearances from Sheffield indie giants Arctic Monkeys! Grab your tickets today.

In the mean time why not use the comment space below to tell us whether you’ve booked your tickets and where you’re planning to travel to Benicassim from.  We’d love to hear your stories.
