Franz Ferdinand have been confirmed for the 2012 Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona.
The Scottish band released their last album "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" in January 2009 and haven't played a billed gig in the UK for almost two years, but have now confirmed their first show for next year.
The band's guitarist Nick McCarthy had said earlier this year that the band would be regrouping and it now seems extremely likely that they will be touring Europe during the summer.
