RUMOURS

We’ve just heard that London based Hot Chip have

been linked with an appearance at Benicassim in 2010. We can’t confirm anything just yet but the rumour mill is spinning so we thought we’d keep you posted. One thing’s for certain, we’re sure that Hot Chip would be a great addition to what is likely to be the liveliest Benicassim yet. The move to play Benicassim would appear logical with the techno blended with acoustic guitar driven outfit due to unveil their latest album, One Life Stand, in February this year. They’re already supporting the album with a UK

The band moved to London in early May 2009 to “spend a bit of time on the continent and try and build a fan base over here”, according to lead guitarist Lorenzo Sillitto. He says “it was always our dream to at least come over here and give it a good crack early on”. In August 2009, the band played the Reading/Leeds Festival. In September 2009 the band embarked on their first headlining UK tour to largely sold out venues, such as the 250-capacity Hare and Hounds in Birmingham. The tour started in Brighton on September 17 and finished back there on September 29. They were supported by the Goldhawks.

In late November 2009 the band cancelled sold-out show dates in Germany to return to Australia to perform at the ARIA awards.
