Event Information:
The
Festival Internacional de Benicàssim,
or Benicàssim International
Festival, commonly abbreviated as
FIB is an annual music festival
which takes place in the village of Benicàssim, province of Castelló,
Valencian Community in Spain. It
focuses mainly on pop, rock and
electronica artists, as well as
having other elements besides music
like short films, theatre, fashion
and art. The festival has been noted
for being beside a summer resort of
artificial beaches, and having bands
play later in the day (5pm - 8am)
than most festivals. The event is
considered a true celebration of
freedom and the application of any
restrictive and coercive measures is
suspended during its celebration.
The
first 'FIB' took place in 1995, and
since then Benicàssim has been
dedicated to rock, pop and
electronic music as well as
featuring artists who are a
reference on the world stage. 'FIB'
is held in the seaside resort of
Benicassim (Castellón province) on
Costa del Azahar, Valencia, Spain,
92.2 km away from Valencia Airport.
Festival goers who have purchased
multi-day passes can camp for up to
9 days starting Monday before the
festival starts and ending Tuesday
after the festival has ended. Since
the first festival in 1995, some of
the most notable artists who have
played the festival include Paul
Weller, Depeche Mode, Beck,
Radiohead, Kraftwerk, The Stone
Roses, Brian Wilson, Blur, Lou Reed,
