"Ahoy. Anybody fancy a little trip to Spain then? We've been confirmed to play out in Benicàssim this July," the band wrote on their Facebook page as the posted the official line-up for the festival. See below.

"It'd be cool to do somewhere of a similar size to The Forum, somewhere where the audience is likely to be one that’s really into it and potentially starved of it perhaps. Not giving away too many clues there…"
Tickets for Benicassim are on sale now. For more information, visit Gigwise Tickets.
