Festival in Europe: Festival Internacional de Benicassim

selected by  

FIB is, probably, the fastest growing and of the biggest summer festival outside United Kingdom. It was born when two brothers from Madrid, now directors, decided to start a music festival in a holiday city in Castellón. The formula was: good indie music + beach= great festival. And they were right because when they started, in 1995, there were no such things in Spain.
