The Killers and Queens Of The Stone Age have been confirmed as the first headliners for Benicassim 2013 after the event’s future was secured by promoter Vince Power back in October.
The future of one of Europe’s biggest live music events was in serious doubt after its parent company went into administration last September. However, after Power later struck a deal with administrators to repurchase the festival, The Killers have now been confirmed to return to the event for the first time since 2009, while Queens Of The Stone Age will be making their debut.
“I am really excited to announce The Killers and Queens of the Stone Age as our first headline acts for FIB Benicàssim 2013,” Power has said. “After a fantastic festival in 2012 we are looking to forward to excelling ourselves this year with even more incredible acts gracing our stages over the four festival days.”
Benicassim will take place between July 18th-21st next year, and has also added Azealia Banks, Jake Bugg, Palma Violets, Echo Lake, Splashh and Swim Deep to its line-up for 2013.
