Kings Of Leon and Lana Del Rey will be the main attractions for the scarlet-tanned Brits who’ll be in Spain for Benicassim this coming July.

There’s a third headliner still to be announced, but also confirmed on the bill for the event’s 25th year are the likes of The 1975, Franz Ferdinand, Blossoms and Jess Glynne.

The top of festival bills is of course a familiar place for Kings Of Leon now, and we last caught them live in the same place at Reading Festival last year; “Still capable of selling out arenas, purely on the basis of Sex On Fire and Use Somebody, their last three albums have largely passed by unnoticed,” our review reads.

“Wisely, the boys focused on the mid-section of their now long career for this headline set and, freed from pressure, looked at their most assured and confident for years.”

“You know when you are so impressed with a set, but afterwards reflect on what else they could have played? This was one of those. The set had the perfect balance of crowd-pleasers and deep cuts; for every Fans there was a Knocked Up, for every Radioactive a Taper Jean Girl.”
