Who would you like to see playing at Benicassim this year?

Ok, so this is the part that makes or breaks most festivals, the line-up… Benicassim has much more to offer than a fanastic music line-up – sun, sand, sea, arts, film, beautiful town centre, walks, sports and much more besides.  However, music is still a core component of the festival.  We want to know which bands, groups and artists you’d like to see perform at Benicassim 2010.  So please don’t hold back, tell us who has rocked your world in previous years and who left you a bit dissappointed, just leave a comment below and we’ll see who you want to appear in 2010!

Keep checking the line-up pages for the latest band announcements as and when they happen - first acts announced today (Thurs 28th Jan 2010 – further announcements coming soon).

    Please be good line up this year…as last year was a little dissapointing :( 2manydjs and tv on the radio were prob my highlight? Get some good solid headliners! Pixies…Muse…Jay Z…The Strokes or Daft Punk! if not the strokes get Julian! My mates are only gonna go if the headliners are good! But I’ve seen that Green Day are a big rumour for benicassim?

    Hi

    I would really love to see the Kings of Leon play this year because it was so disappointing them not playing last year. I would love to see the killers again, they absolutely rocked! The best yet infact!
