Paul Weller To Play Bilbao BBK Festival In Spain!

The Modfather himself Paul Weller is amongst the latest acts to be confirmed to play Bilbao BBK.

Set in the Spanish countryside just a few miles from the coast, Bilbao BBK is one of Europe's most spectacular festivals. Rising in popularity with each passing year, this summer's event looks to be one of the finest yet.

With a number of star names already confirmed the organisers of Bilbao BBK have added more acts to the line up. The Spanish festival is set to boast a performance from Paul Weller, one of the most acclaimed songwriters in Britain.

Due to return with his outspoken new album 'Wake The Nation' later this year, the singer is on ferocious form following his BRIT Award triumph last year. Touring the nation, Paul Weller is now set to turn his sights on Bilbao BBK.

Joining him will be a double pairing of American rock royalty. Reformed metal icons Faith No More are set to play a set at the event, marking their return to a European festival after a gap of almost a decade.

Accompanying them will be Seattle legends Alice In Chains, celebrating the release of their new album. The two acts will complete a trio of American rock legends, with Pearl Jam already confirmed for the Spanish event.

Elsewhere on the bill fans can bask in the demented glory of Rammstein, Gogol Bordello, Slayer and many more.

Bilbao BBK is due to take place between July 8th - 10th.

Repost From The Huffington Post By: Jason Holmes Paul Weller bounds into his chair, an electronic cigarette gripped in his hand. We're in the BBC's Studio Three in Maida Vale. Visibly calm owing to post-tour exhaustion and a morning trip to the gym, Weller is here to be interviewed by John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes series. "Back in those days, bands put out an album a year, you toured with it for a year, then you went back in the studio and repeated the process. Looking back, I was glad I experienced that pressure. It helped me refine my craft and find myself as a writer. It kept me on my toes," says Weller, Gibson acoustic on knee. "It wasn't a treadmill, it was just what bands did back then. I never questioned it." Lest the passing decades dim...
