The Mediterranean beach in summer and music, music, music -- that's the four-day Benicassim Festival in Spain July 15-18. Vampire Weekend, Leftfield, Dizzee Rascal, Ian Brown, Klaxons, The Specials, Kasabian and The Prodigy round out an eclectic FIB (Festival Internacional de Benicassim) concert lineup including oldies but '80's goodies Echo and The Bunnymen. Free-spirit camping in fields for nine days.

Benicassim Festival Dates and Tickets; About Camping at Benicassim

The coolness kicks off with camping and the commencement of non-musical events on Monday, July 12, at 9:00 am. (camping closes on Tuesday, July 19, at 2:00 pm). Four-day and three-day passes include camping from July 12-19. And then it gets more complicated: two-day passes, whether for Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday, include different camping area rights:

  • Four-Day and Three-Day Passes: Camping Rights July-12-19
  • Two-Day Passes for Friday and Saturday: Enter starting Friday, July 16, at 10:00 am and leave by 7:00 pm Sunday, July 18
  • Two-Day Passes for Saturday and Sunday: Enter starting Saturday, July 17, at 10:00 am and leave by 7:00 pm Monday, July 19
  • Single day tickets and Four-Day Packs (as opposed to passes/tickets) do not include camping area rights.
