Its getting that way. Benicassim is over 70% British though, i'd be surprised if Summercase is half that.

So any more word from the peeps about this yet then!!
Nope not a word. I emailed them back asking if they knew when it would be confirmed and I am still waiting for a reply.
Hola
NO SUMMERCASE this yr.!!!!!
just checked the La Vanguardia website (catalunya daily newspaper) Sinnamon the organizers of Summercase and other festivals have confirmed that there will be NO FESTIVAL this year due to the financial crisis in Spain. They hope to resurrect nxt yr however.
:dead: Sod all from SINNAMON on their website though
I thought this might happen so I've been looking at some alternatives for June, July and August...
Sonar, Barcelona (18-20 June) Hurricane, Germany (19-21 June) Roskilde, Denmark (2-5 July) Garden, Croatia (3-12 July) Exit, Serbia (9-12 July) Benicassim, Valencia (16-19 July) Sziget, Budapest (12-17 August)
Exit in Serbia looks alright and cheap if you can get there easily. Isn't this supposed to be the biggest festival in Europe??
Yup, here's the official blurb from their Myspace site:
"The next edition of Summercase has been postponed until 2010....
.. ..
Due to the current global financial crisis of 2009, SINNAMON have decided to postpone Summercase until 2010. The main motive is no one other that we find ourselves in an economical context which does not guarantee the quality of our events, and therefore, their taking place.....
.. ..
Finally, we want to affirm that the delay in communicating this information has been due to our efforts in exhausting all our options in making this years festival possible. In this difficult 2009 we will continue to work as hard as ever on all our forthcoming projects. Projects which we dedicate to the public who have always believed in us, like we have been doing for more than a decade.....
.. ..
Thanks to everyone,....
SINNAMON...."
I can't make Sonar, as I'll be on holiday then (same time as the recently announced Pet Shop Boys gigs)...
Benicassim early lineup is impressive.. Most are not my cup of tea, but its a good statement of intent:
The only one overseas fest I'm tempted by so far is Primavera in Barcelona on the last weekend in May. Runs from Thursday May 28th to Saturday May 30th.
Eclectic roster including.....ACR, My Bloody Valentine, Vaselines, Spiritualized, Aphex Twin, Art Brut, Jarvis Cocker, Sonic Youth, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (one for Hibster and G-Man), Neil Young, Throwing Muses and Yo La Tengo.
St Etienne, Simian Mobile Disco and Squarepusher now added to this line up. Er, and Bloc Party.
So am now confirmed for this. Will book flights over the next few days.Just need to decide whether to go via Lyon on the Wednesday night for more ACR.
Anyone else fancy a bit of Barca?

Is this a final line up?.. Cos i need a couple more acts to be really keen. It needs some oomph, although SMD will do a blinder.
