Since it began in 1995 Benicassim has quickly secured itself a place as one of Europe's premier festivals. Each year revellers from around the world descend on the town to experience four days of music, art, theatre, dance, fashion and short films.

The festival frequently provides a line-up that is among the best in Europe with a selection of stellar artists and superstar DJs. Across the event's five stages the likes of Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys and Armand Van Helden all performed last year, so expect a similar calibre of artists this time around.

Organisers allow festival-goers to stay in the free campsite for up to nine days (three days before and two days after the festival) and enjoy the local beach and usually scorching sunshine. However we recommend hiring an apartment as the music doesn't start until evening and continues through the night, which means the sun rises as you fall!less
