The new collaboration FFS (Franz Ferdinand & Sparks) are the latest act confirmed for this summer's Spanish music event Festival Internacional de Benicassim.

Organisers explain, "Ten years after this seemingly unlikely musical idea was first conceived, the two bands have joined forces in a bold new creative endeavour. The mutual admiration between Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy, Paul Thomson, Ron Mael and Russell Mael has manifested itself in a striking new album produced and mastered by John Congleton (St. Vincent, The Walkmen, Modest Mouse), and Franz Ferdinand and Sparks will perform together live at Benicassim this summer."

The Prodigy Portishead, and Florence + The Machine, will headline. Also confirmed are Noel Gallagfher’s High Flying Birds, Los Planetas, Jamie T, Bastille, Crystal Fighters, Mark Ronson (DJ set), Kaiser Chiefs, Public Enemy, Stromae, Hinds and many more to be announced soon.
