In the summer, a gang of four young northern lads are gonna decamp to sunny Spain for a few days of hard drinking, loud music, and general debauchery. No, Music Towers hasn't descended into cheap offensive stereotyping of anyone north of the Watford gap, we're just reporting that Arctic Monkeys have been confirmed as one of the headliners for this year's Benicassim festival in Spain.

Also confirmed are Iggy and The Stooges, Cansei Der Sexy, The Hives, !!!, Human League and the world's second most successful example of human cloning, The Magic Numbers  (after The Corrs, of course). I was planning on doing Roskilde but a bit of CSS in the sun is very tempting indeed.
