Lined up to bring in the New Year at Falls Festival, well-heeled Glaswegians Franz Ferdinand will also do two sideshows alongside the Cribs.

The band-that’s-made-for-dancing is releasing its next album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, in 2009, so expect a set-list of old and new. It’s been a little quiet in the Ferdinand camp since 2005’s You Could Have It So Much Better, but Tonight is the result of a solid year of studio lockdown. After their surprise appearance at Glastonbury this year ignited the Park Stage, there’s no doubt the guys still pack a lot of punch live.

And who better to join them on tour than The Cribs? The UK alt-rock heroes are visiting Australia to spruik new album Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever – and they’re bringing Johnny Marr with them! With hot young things Red Riders warming the stage at both dates, this’ll be a damn fine way to kick off 2009…
