Festival Details
Category: All 2009 >> Europe >> Spain
Location: Benicassim, Costa del Azaha, Valencia  
Dates: 16-19 July 2009
Website: fiberfib.com/uk
Genre:Mixed
Main Acts:The Killers, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis and Maximo Park
Description:On the night of Friday 17 July a large fire broke out in scrubland within a few hundred metres of the festival site. High winds that night both contributed to the difficulty of fighting the fire and caused conditions on many of the stages to become unsafe. As a result a number of acts including the Kings of Leon, Maximo Park, Boys Noize and Yuksek were unable to perform. Tom Tom Club did perform but had to be taken off for their own safety. Maximo Park performed the following night following a cancellation by Lily Allen.

Several hundred festival goers had to be evacuated from the campsite to a nearby sports hall. The festival resumed the following day with limited disruption
