Blur for Benicassim

BLUR are to headline the ninth BENICASSIM FESTIVAL in Spain, joining BADLY DRAWN BOY, THE CORAL and THE FLAMING LIPS from August 8-10.

Blur, who headlined the festival in 1999, are soon to embark on a series of dates around Europe and America to promote new album, 'Think Tank'.

The band are set to play three secret gigs this month in Europe before heading off to play the Coachella Festival in the US on April 26.

They have five sold-out shows scheduled for the London Astoria in May, and are tipped to headline this year's Carling Weekend: Reading And Leeds festivals.

Suede, Travis, Moby and Death In Vegas have also been confirmed for Benicassim, which was headlined by Radiohead last year, and by Oasis in 2000.

Blur release the single, 'Out of Time' on April 14 and new album 'Think Tank' on May 5.
