ATP Concerts have announced the return of Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum to headline and curate our first of two festival weekends this December at Butlins, Minehead. For a bill that includes Low, Boredoms, The Fall and Micachu and the Shapes.
Today we can confirm new addition to the festival (see below), and also two rare London shows after the festival at the Union Chapel on December 8th and 9th. Tickets priced at £25 per person (subject to booking fee) go on sale today Wednesday 1st May from 12pm via www.atpfestival.com. Tickets will be sold through the ATP site and Seetickets.com and are limited to 4 per person. Along with the ATP festival, these will be Jeff’s only UK & mainland Europe appearances in 2011!
Tickets are selling fast for the ATP Festival Event with 2 and 3 person apartments now sold out and 4-7 person apartments currently still available. Today we can confirm a third astounding group of artists picked by Jeff:
BOREDOMS (bio)
LOW (bio)
THE FALL (bio)
COLIN STETSON (bio)
MICACHU AND THE SHAPES (bio)
LOST IN THE TREES (bio)
In 2011 the legendary Boredoms have been recording a new album. Their performance will be very rare and entirely new to the UK. Eye will play a sensor from the center of the drummers, less a conductor and more the nexus of an energy orb. Music and performance are intertwined and for the boredoms it is a living and breathing whole. A being, greater than the some of it’s parts, and ever evolving. Join the experience and be part of the evolution. It will change how you listen to and how you see music and musical performance.
The line-up so far for the event now looks like this…
Jeff Mangum (from Neutral Milk Hotel) / Fleet Foxes / Boredoms / Low / The Fall / Superchunk / The Olivia Tremor Control / Mike Watt & George Hurley perform the songs of the MINUTEMEN / Robyn Hitchcock performs I Often Dream Of Trains / Group Inerane / Scratch Acid / Young Marble Giants / The Magic Band / The Raincoats performing The Raincoats (debut LP) / A Hawk And A Hacksaw performing a new and original soundtrack to Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors / Yann Tiersen / Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise / Half Japanese / Tinariwen / The Apples In Stereo / Colin Stetson / Micachu And The Shapes / Lost In The Trees
