Cool!

My family has a house in Benidorm, does anybody know if it's easy to get to Benicassim from Benidorm? buses or such would be great...

This should be a great gig - would be ultra cool with Tim on board! 8) I heard Tom and Ed really love playing Benicassim!

i hear that too!!! Benicassimis like Coachella, is one of them gig the chems like to keep playing. i hear Coachella like glastonbury, the hotest tickets on ebay according to NME. you try getting a weekend past to Coachella!! its a touts world!!!

Coachella is such a great event. It is California's Glastonbury. There's a fantastic mix of music and the vibe is great. The heat in the desert is incredible but it just comes with the territory much like the mud comes with Glasto I guess. I've had so much fun there, some really good times. I feel blessed to have attended 3 - I missed last year and am missing this year as well. But I haven't missed one with the Chemicals yet!

your sunny post are getting me down whirly. it sounds like a lovely part of the world you are in. here in england we have limbo weather, ya just don't know what it's gonna do. last weekend was awsome and sunny, but since then we have been going through a monsoon!!! i'm just hoping the weather pull it back so the festivals aren't muddy. homelands is only 4 weeks away!!



i feel for the people who go to glastonbury the most. they need good weather more than anyone. my sister regulary went there until i think it was 1996, when the rain devisated the place. she had gone down there on the wednesday, but came back home on the thursday before the event had even started!! she lost her tent in the mud, some clothes and her shoes. she was it goes without saying, quite pissed off. and she has never been since!!



i have seen this program on telly, around the world in 80 raves. i think it was a festival in the nivarda desert, or somewhere. but they were quite dangerous cos you had the problem of the heat by day, and plumeting tempreture at night. i kninda remember quotes like 'if you go out on your own in the dessert you'll die!!'.

quite a nice

I've read nightmare stories about the muddy accomodations at Glastonbury, and the unpredictable weather conditions. I read an interview with the Chemicals and they were talking about a time when they went to the fest as regular goers and Ed wound up with a nasty case of trench foot when it was all over. And I've seen pictures of mud mud mud and more mud. But on the other hand I've read some wonderful personal accounts of peoples' experiences at Glastonbury and I hope to one day be able to experience it for myself before I get too old and fussy!



It may sound strange but I really liked the weather in England even in the winter. I can't complain about the weather here in my beachy hometown in southern California, we've got it pretty easy - but to be honest I am not a sun worshipper in the least and I'm quite sensitive to the heat. I just have to make sure I have plenty of water and am wearing a really good sunblock and reapplying it throughout the day. I love the desert but it's very beautiful and cruel at the same time especially if you don't brace yourself physically and mentally for it. The first Coachella, the temperature got up to 110 degrees by noon. The last Coachella I went to, I went with a nice sized crew of Chemical Brothers listees I met on the mailing list. It wasn't nearly as hot as the first year, but we had this great idea that we'd be OK if we left early enough and walked to the venue, it was only a mile maybe a mile and a half so it seemed like no big deal. Until we were out there with the sun beating down on our backs walking alongside the road with stopped cars idling in traffic on hot blacktop - the heat was astounding and unavoidable. One person in our group collapsed about halfway there, and she wound up spending half the day in a medic tent (but she gets trooper of the century, because despite all this she was up front and center for the Chems when they closed the evening's festivities, bless her!)



So anyway, I can't believe I'm sitting here talking about the weather!!!

You could easily start a conversation with a British person then, we all loving talking about the weather apparently ;-).

haha, true. Twas a nice day today, went for an early morning jog.

hmm, anybody know where to book tickets?

The website says that they're released may 5(today) but where? :?

There should be an english version of the site...

Anybody on the forum thinking of going?
