Benicàssim: it's not just for big reunions, troubled frontmen, and bands named after road parts anymore! Remember way the hell back in December, we told you that this year's Festival Internacional de Benicàssim would feature My Bloody Valentine, Babyshambles and the Rumble Strips when it went off July 17-20 in Benicàssim, Spain? And it will, still, barring incident. But now, we've got a whole lot more of the full lineup, and it runs the gamut from greatly awesome to awesomely great to, well, Mika.

As we now know, Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Death Cab for Cutie, Sigur Ros, Spiritualized, Hot Chip, Gnarls Barkley, Justice, Battles, Black Lips, the New Pornographers, the Raconteurs, My Morning Jacket, the National, El Guincho, José González, These New Puritans, Fujiya & Miyagi, Booka Shade, the Futureheads, Erol Alkan, American Music Club, Supermayer, Roisin Murphy, the Kills, Siouxsie Sioux, Richard Hawley, Yelle, Tiefschwarz, Ewan Pearson, Micah P. Hinson, Nada Surf, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Metronomy, Tricky, Bracken, the Glimmers, Heavy Trash, the Ting Tings, Eef Barzelay, and Joakim will all take the stage at Benicàssim. So even if you've got no love for Loveless-- wait, what's wrong with you?
