Foals have joined Red Hot Chili Peppers at Benicassim 2017.
The Weeknd will also be at the event between July 13th-16th, an event which it’s to be hoped is more to Yannis Philippakis‘ liking than Coachella, which he told Shortlist is ‘not his idea of a good festival’.
“You get celebrities at Glastonbury, sure, but people don’t go for that,” he continued. “If anything, what’s great about Glastonbury is that they’re made to trudge through the mud like anybody else. Whereas at Coachella it’s like, ‘Where’s my private buggy?’”
“It attracts people who want to live this aspirational lifestyle and to take a similar selfie that [fill in the blank space with celeb] also took there with their flower crown on.”
