Get Excited, Blur Confirmed To Headline Benicassim 2015

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."
