For the last eleven years, the Costa Azahar has been turned into the most appreciated and animated place of Spain. The holiday-goers, the tourists along with the artists and the locals, all gather in Benicàssim for its beaches, its parties but most of all for the annual celebration of music, art and creativity that is the FIB Heineken (Festival Internacional de Benicàssim).

The FIB Heineken: four days by the end of July where the newest bands, decided to gain fame and experience, are confronted to the best talents from today’s music scene. It’s an experience as magic as it is concrete that leaves the spectator with a marvelous souvenir and a new particular cultural wealth. The notoriety of the bands that played for the past years at the FIB contributes to the fame of the festival. Music fans were already given the chance to see bands and artists like: The Cure, P.J. Harvey, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Los Planetas, Pulp, Björk, Blur, Suede, Radiohead, Devendra Banhart, Muse, Placebo, Fatboy Slim, Cycle as well as Moby, Goldfrap and much more. As you would have guessed, you are given you the opportunity to live, dance and sweat to the live music of the best artists of the contemporary pop/rock scene, and to remember the classics yet discovering tomorrow’s hits.

As art is not only music, we want to make sure that every single one of you will find at the FIB what you are looking for. We also organize short-movie contests, dance, theater and sculpture contests so that the FIB becomes for everyone the opportunity to create and express themselves: the two keywords of the festival. The curious and the amateurs may attend to Cultural Expansion classes in order to being sensitized to the various forms of arts.

Coming to the FIB is not only about being passive listening and looking at your favorite band, it’s about being active and participating to that special, creative and inspiring, mood that will motivate the new bands, the older ones and hopefully even you, to take a step forward and to build up to a new culture and sensibility that will lead us to the tomorrow. We do have one request though, it’s that you have fun.
