Franz Ferdinand are one of the headliners
The FIB Heineken Benicassim Festival is delighted to announce that the headline acts for the 2009 festival will be Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon and Paul Weller.
The Scottish rockers will be firing Darts of Pleasure far and wide whilst Nashville’s finest Kings of Leon will be On Call for anyone looking for a good time - and with the Modfather on board, even the man himself would gladly admit “That’s Entertainment!â€
No longer a well-kept secret, the Benicassim festival is an integral stop on the summer circuit and a firm favourite with British and Irish fans. Backed by Vince Power (the founder of the Mean Fiddler Empire and the man behind The Mighty Boosh and Hop Farm Festivals) it will take place from July 16th – 19th on the east coast of Spain.
A phenomenal 150,000 people enjoyed FIB Heineken 2008, making it one of the best festivals of the summer with some of the most exciting, exclusive gigs to have graced the Spanish mainland in recent times. With sets from internationally acclaimed artists such as; Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, My Bloody Valentine, The Raconteurs, Babyshambles and The Ting Tings, it isn’t hard to see why.
