Festival Internacional de Benicassim, FIB Heineken, held near Valencia, Spain from Thursday 17th until Sunday 20th July has confirmed more acts for the line-up.

Joining the bill are Beirut, David Duriez, Eef Barzelay, Erol Alkan, John Acquaviva, Justice (live), Leonard Cohen, Micah P. Hinson, Moriarty, These New Puritans, Richard Hawley, Róisín Murphy, Supermayer, and Tommie Sunshine.

They will accompany the other acts confirmed which are American Music Club, Jose Gonzalez, Metope, Metromony, The National, The New Pornographers, Robert Babicz, Spiritualized, and Viva La Fete, My Bloody Valentine, Babyshambles, and The Rumble Strips. More acts are expected to be confirmed soon.

Benicassim has something to offer across the whole musical spectrum, as indie and rock bands rub shoulders with DJs and more experimental music projects.

As well as this diverse array of musical performers, the festival boasts a quality bill of non-musical entertainment, including dance, art, theatre, fashion, silent disco and short films.

As well as the usual markets, bars, and food outlets, several other celebrations of the arts take place within the Benicassim festival.

Tickets are on sale on now. A four-day pass cost £118, and can be bought here.
