Franz Ferdinand

Since the release of their fourth studio album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, Franz Ferdinand have been fairly quiet. Until now.

Franz Ferdinand seem ordinary on the outside, but they prove that they're far from it in their strange new video for 'Stand on the Horizon.'

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the U.K.'s annual Bestival festival, and organizers have announced the first round of artists on a bill that promises to be one of the most eclectic of the 2013 festival season. The Flaming Lips, Franz Ferdinand, M.I.A., the Knife and Bombay Bicycle Club are among the acts set to appear at Bestival 2013 which takes place from Sept. 5-8 on the Isle of Wight,

It’s been a slow roll out for Franz Ferdinand, but the Scottish rockers will be making their U.S. return in August. The band recently announced their participation in Lollapalooza, and now they’ll be staying the States for a little while longer after the high profile festival.

As previously reported, Franz Ferdinand were set to unveil new music during their mini-tour in Ireland this past weekend. Franz were in Limerick, Ireland this past Saturday (May 19) and played four new songs.
