Blur have been confirmed as headliners for this year’s Benicassim festival in Spain (July 16 -19).

The news comes following last month’s announcement that the ‘Parklife’ rockers will be releasing their eighth album, 'The Magic Whip ', due April 27.

The four-piece will join a host of big acts including The Prodigy, Portishead and Mark Ronson at the outdoor event.

The band, who recently unveiled the album’s first track ‘Go Out’, are also confirmed to top the bill at British Summer Time In Hyde Park this summer (June 20).

Speaking to Zane Lowe at a press conference for the new album, Damon Albarn said: “I really felt at the end of the last gigs that that was it - there was no way we could do another gig without an another album."

I'm gettin' sad alone
Dancing with myself
Greedy go-getter goal
The luxury of stealth

I'm seedy and the whole,
Dancing with myself
I get into my bed
I do it to myself

To the local,
To the lo-o-o, I go out
To the local
By myself
To the local

I did it to my head
There's nothing to be addressed now
There's nothing to get up about
Cause we do it all the time
The shepherd is undone
She done it all again
I get ready to go
The greed go-getter con

He going to the local
He going to the local
O-ohh
He going to the local
He going to the local

To many western men
It's a problem left undone
Imperious the sign
The papers of luxury
A greedy go-getter in the skybox
She run alone
She get ready to go
She does it with herself

She does it with herself
She does it with herself
She does it on her own
She does it on her own
