 The Hives The Hives are set to headline Zoo-themed festival Zoo Thousand and Eight.
Taking place at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park between July 4 and 6, the band will play the festival, which will also see performances from Gallows and Ash.
And the funny thing, The Hives' singer Pelle Almqvist said he was letting the zoo's animals influence his choice of setlist for the gig.
"We're a bit scared that the gorillas will start a riot if we don't play the right songs," he explained. "We've never played a zoo before you know? Once we played at a festival in (hometown of) Fagersta in a field and their were cows there. Did they like our music? Well cows are pretty chilled out generally aren't they? So yes, I think so." Almqvist told to NME.com.
