Whilst all those who fancy combining a festival jaunt with their annual
escape to a hot sunny place may find the FIB festival in Benicassim, on
the eastern coast of Spain, an attractive option. Franz Ferdinand and
Morrissey will be putting in an appearance here as well (both seem to be
doing the rounds this summer), as will the Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen
and the Strokes, together with British favourites such as Madness. A
ticket for the festival, which runs from 20th-24th July, also includes 9 days
of access to the beachside campsite, allowing you to really make the most
of those sandcastles.
But note, FIB is not a festival for the faint hearted/ fan of sleeping. Owing
to the ridiculously warm temperatures, the music doesn’t actually start
until early evening and continues until the small hours, so be prepared to
be watching the likes of the Pixies at 3AM. The smaller tents wind things
up around 6 or 7 in the morning.

There are some seriously big hitters playing this year - the Pixies for one. This could
be one of the last chances you have to witness their colossal back catalogue live. |

You know what - I'm sick of fesivals. Too old to queue at toilets and stand around all day drinking cider. They won't let me in the pit in case I need CPR. Anyway - I'm off to bed, (at 18.20!!)
