The Californian funk-rock stalwarts will be topping the bill at Benicàssim for the first time - the headline slot will be their only Spanish date in 2017.
More bands are due to be announced for the festival "soon".
FIB Benicàssim 2017 takes place along the Mediterranean coast (between Valencia and Barcelona) between 13-16 July.
