Franz for Frieze Festival

| 27 September 2004

Franz Ferdinand have been lined up to take part in the first ever Frieze magazine Music 2004 festival, which takes place in London in October.

The three-day event has been organised by Dan Fox, associate editor of Frieze magazine, and musician and former Pulp bassist Steve Mackey. The festival aims to bring together an eclectic range of musicians and artists at the edges of pop music culture.
