Benicàssim Festival
Music
Held just north of Valencia, Benicàssim is in its thirteenth year, and is now one of the most established music festivals on the European circuit: Glastonbury, without the mud. Each year the event plays host to some big-name headliners – Oasis, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand and Pixies have starred recently – but most festivalgoers come to rave all night in one of a number of dance tents that stay open till the early hours. If crawling back to your pre-heated tent at ten o’clock in the morning for a couple of hours’ kip before heading down to the beach for paella and Frisbee sounds like fun then this is the festival for you. Tickets cost around e70 a day.
