There should be more people like you in the world, Whiney
Incidentally can I interest you in paying me $200 for this cool festival I'm putting on? All the cool bands are playing, it'll be cool

I read a review on Drowned In Sound just there. They compared something favourably to Feeder. So it's still ITV's Teletext music review section in online form, then
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 19 April 2016 10:37 (eight years ago) link
God, Feeder! I saw a greatest hits CD in a charity shop, thought "Oh, Buck Rogers was OK" but oh! I had literally forgotten all of their hits and what they sounded like except for one. That'll show me.
You know how many hits they had?
Wrong.
Twenty five! Why?

2015 accounts pretty brutal. £16 cash in bank or at hand, £119k of creditors.

Hmm. That link isn't working properly. Click through from here.
Did they save the Iceland festival was a different company. I wonder if their accounts can be viewed?

Iceland was always underwritten by the Iceland Tourist Board iirc.

ATP Iceland still has the announcement that Fabio Frizzi was added to the line-up with Dirty Three as their pinned tweet.
Meanwhile Fabio Frizzi is tweeting:
It is with great regret that we have to announce the cancelation of Fabio Frizzi's upcoming dates as part ofATP ICELAND on the 1st and 2nd of July.We've made every effort to make this show happen, but unfortunately the lack of communicationand the failure to honour any of the agreements that we made with Barry Hogan (ATP), made it impossible for us to performat this year ATP ICELAND.

From Facebook:
ATP - R.I.PIt is with deep sadness we are announcing that ATP Festivals and live promotions are closing down. After months of speculation, our funding for Iceland has been pulled and we are no longer able to continue so will be closing down the entire live side of ATP festivals and live promotions with immediate effect and going into administration.ATP Iceland festival is no longer happening, but all our other UK shows will have new promoters appointed and tickets transferred (all purchased tickets remain valid with the new promoter). We will post details of the administrators and what to do for festival ticket refunds over the next week.We are very sorry we could not make this work and have tried to survive throughout all our recent losses but we are no longer able to trade and have to accept we cannot go on.Thank you to all our loyal customers who have supported us and incredible artists who have performed or curated for us over the years and made ATP so special while it lasted.

The band I'm in played one and the experience of playing & being at the fest was awesome. Like a total mind blow. On par with when I got married and my child being born. It was that good.
The other stuff, was not.
I'm sad that they burned so many friends, both in bands and people attending fests, recently, and I'm sad to see the idea of this kind of festival end. Not as sad for the poorly managed and deceitful business practices .
RIP
