| Mate worked out the logistics kind of. Said it'd work out around 500 each + spending money if we booked the flights now. Leave on a Sunday and come back on Thursday. Meant to be on a beach too so can get there on a Monday and set down your tent then chill out for a few days before the festival starts on the Thursday |

Sorry, I meant leave the Sunday before it starts, get there and camp from the monday and then leave the following tuesday after the festival and make your way back to Valancia, probably spend a night or two there and return on the thursday. Or just get a camper van and road trip it all the way

Couple of mates went to it last year and were able to tie it in with the Pamplona Bull Run. Meant to have been awesome. ------------- It's a walk-off! |

Never been to Donington Gouldy, it's supposed to be amazing!
We're planning on going over to Sonisphere in August, Iron Maiden and Rammstein are headlining. With a supporting cast of Alice Cooper, Slayer, Iggy Pop, Motley Crue and loads more!

I'd love to go to Download, just to see AC/DC again.
Punchestown was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Angus blew me away!! ------------- "There are no chicks with dicks Johnny, just guys with tits." |

Giving this a bump as considering head over to Spain for a festival next year. Anyone been to benicassim since opening post was made Looks like best option is fly to Barcelona or Valencia and travel from their. Thinking of booking an apartment or hotel as not sure camping in that heat was be so pleasant ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

I’m going to Primavera and Mad Cool next year. I was at Primavera this year and really enjoyed it albeit they don’t tend to get as many of the huge headline acts as other festivals. Arcade Fire were the biggest act at it but generally it’s a very eclectic mix with the likes of Van Morrison, Grace Jones, Slayer, Apehex Twin, The XX and Bon Iver all on this year’s line up. There’s nobody confirmed for next year’s yet but The National are very strongly rumoured to be headlining one of the nights. Mad Cool is only in it’s 3rd year but already it is attracting major acts. We were looking at going to see Pearl Jam somewhere on their European tour and when they were announced as the headliners on the first night it was a no brainer. Tickets were €160 for the 3 days which is great value. They may be about €180 now as they were cheaper when first released. If you are looking up this festival just be careful to ensure you are looking at current information. They are apparently changing venue this year so keep that in mind if looking at hotels. The link below has the line up so far. There are a load of bands to be added yet including at least one headliner on the Friday. https://madcoolfestival.es/line-up.php" rel="nofollow - Mad Cool Festival line up so far |

I've been to the Benicassim festival a few times. Defo do not consider camping unless you absolutely hate yourself, it's ridiculously hot. The town of Beni has a good few hotels so book one of them. If availability is hard to come by then stay in Oropesa which is close enough. There are loads of bus transfers that run to and from the gig regularly. I would definitely recommend it anyway. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Have looked about mad cool as well as has got a really good line-up but at the minute information on location etc is limited. Mixed reviews on it from last year too Have seen a few from that line-up before too so will wait too see who else announced for benicassim before making up my mind ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

| Reckon I might do the Isle of Wight just cos it's close and a decent line up so far but if you are going somewhere from Ireland then you'd be wanting Europe for guaranteed sun ! |

Yeah chances are this be only holiday during the summer so be wanting some sun. Add in decent music and cheap drink and we be onto a winner ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |
