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.

I missed them dearly years ago. It's been tough waiting for the life support to be switched off.

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
