Madness and The Strokes go Spanish

Spain | 01 March 2006

Taking place at the end of July rather than its traditional August slot, the festival is Europe's premier music festival, located next to the beach with a go-kart track and all night parties.

Recent events have boasted performances by Radiohead, Muse, The Cure, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane and Oasis.
 
This year features a whole host of top bands, including Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand and Depeche Mode.

Babyshambles are billed too, but if they make it through customs we'd be very surprised.
 
Benicassim 2006 takes place in the Spanish town of the same name from 20-23 July. Click here for more information, including tickets.
