Michael Geoffrey “Mike” Skinner, more commonly known as The Streets, is ready to take the crowd at Benicassim 2011 to new heights.  The Streets will be here promoting their FINAL album – Computers and Blues.  The Streets show is likely to be one to remember especially with Skinner commenting that the final album will be “one more banger” and “dancing music to drink tea to”.  If teas not your thing then there’ll be plenty of beer and other drinks available to quench your thirst.

Mumford & Sons, formed in 2007 will also be performing.  Rising out of the West London folk scene these boys combine an interesting mix of vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin, accordian, bank, dobro and drums making their music catchy, tunes like The Cave and Little Lion Man will not doubt have the crowd dancing and singing along.  If you’re not keen then remember it was not your fault, but mine.

Catpeople will be for most the slightly more obscure band in this list, originating from Barcelona, check them out for yourself by watching the video below:

Julieta Venegas will give things even more of a latin twitst.  The Mexican singer/songwriter combines cutting-edge Latin music with a broadly apealing pop/rock effort.

Lori Meyers is a group of indie Spanish musicians.  Formed in 1998 by four musicians Antonio Lopez (Noni), Alejandro Méndez, Julián Méndez and Alfredo Núñez.  The group has since expanded to include Sergio Martin on Guitar.

So if you’ve not snapped up your tickets, then now’s the time to do so.

If you’re too young to remember then Unknown Pleasures was released during summer 1979, so it’s quite apt that Peter is returning to the stage at one of the best summer festivals in Europe.  The album is considered one of the most important in driving the growth and development of popular rock music over the past 30 years, it is often cited as pivotal to the success of contemporary bands like The Smiths, The Cure or New Order.

Joy Division had a sad demise following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis.. Not one to be perturbed, Peter Hook, set up New Order together with Bernard Summer.  31 years later Hook is braving the stage to bring their debut album back to life.

If you’ve got any ideas for who you’d like to see playing at this years festival then why not tell us. As if all of the above wasn’t enough then just take a look at the weather in Benicassim at the moment (Fri 2nd April 2010) the temperatures really do hit boiling point by July with average temperatures of 28C!

Keith Whitchard from Kent comments “I’ve been to Benicassim for the last 5 years in a row, I love it, it’s like a holiday with a festival thrown in as an additional bonus.  The line-up gets better every year, I love The Prodigy and The Klaxons so I’m excited enough to go based purely on these acts”.  Whitchard’s comments are echoed by the thousands of people who’ve already booked their tickets for this year’s festival.

The line-up is still building up with several major acts still to be confirmed.. Why not tell us who you’d like to see at Benicassim 2010!?

Keep checking the line-up pages for the latest band announcements as and when they happen - first acts announced today (Thurs 28th Jan 2010 – further announcements coming soon).
