ATP (UK version) 2009 - who's in?

Surely Modest Mouse alone are worth the price of oh hang on

I will buy your tickets for £0, you must agree cuz otherwise this will be the first year since 2004 that I haven't attended at least one ATP :o(.

have to decline, sorry. you should attend, though.

i have only your best interests at heart.

I miss Autechre '03. That was my fave. No obligatory Shellac!!

^^^

wouldn't mind obligatory lightning bolt though.

in, um, seven? ATPs I've managed to get away with only seeing Shellac once. But Lightning Bolt I did four times in one weekend.

£1, g-kit? I think that's as high as I can go if I want to pay the rent, boo hoo.

Keep going...

This always sounds like it would be great festival if it weren't for the music.

Sunn O))) performing The GrimmRobe Demos
Sunn O))) performing from Monoliths & Dimensions
The Magic Band
Lightning Bolt
múm

Plz to add Sunn O))) to ATP New York plz plz?

BEAK, which is the new band featuring Geoff Barrow of Portishead, now confirmed for the Ten Years event along with The Mars Volta and Afrirampo.

omfg would you guys stop booking Edan FFS!

Maybe if you gave him some time off banging chicks at ATP he'd be able to record some new material and stop rehashing the same boring live show.

Plenty of other, better, rap you could be booking!

Yes but not much that's previously featured at ATP which is the remit of this one

Granted but I still think I'd rather see Thirstin Howl III again

"I still live with my moms" > Edan's 2 albums

so whos is actually attending 10 Years?

other than Matt DC

Us.

Thirstin Howl wrecked it at that one ATP he played but let's be honest, no-one gives a fuck about him

Yay @ "Us"! I figured you'd be doing MBV.

I'm going to the nightmare before christmas.

Despite whinging upthread I'm now going to the ten years one. Not particularly ecstatic about the lineup but I haven't been since the Thurston Moore curated one so I'm due one. The Mars Volta though - why??

strongly considering

Posting this on behalf of my flatmate. He's thinking of organising a bus from Glasgow to the Ten Years of ATP bash. It's non-profit, so will be much cheaper than the official chartered bus. He's successfully organised buses to ATP before, so I can vouch for the righteousness of this enterprise.

As some of you may know, I'm looking into organizing a bus from Glasgow to the second All Tomorrow's Parties in December, the `10 years of ATP' one. I've recently decided to go to this and, although I know there's a bus already scheduled to go from Glasgow, I've found out it's a private company that's charging more than double what we got it for per head the last time I ran the bus. I'd like to do this cheaply, and I'm sure a bunch of other folk will too, so I want to gauge possible numbers before I go about organizing it properly.

For those of you who don't know the details: I'll book a bus to run from Glasgow directly to Minehead, leaving at 3am-ish on the Friday, getting there in time for the doors opening, and it'll leave Minehead at kicking out time on the Monday, getting us back in early evening. The previous busses have been £45, then £33, then £35 (I think? perhaps £37?) per head for the return; the cost depends on how many people go, so the more the merrier. I'd need to get the money from everyone for about a month before we leave. It's a great way to get there, as it's hassle-free, without any connections or lugging luggage about, and it's cheap too.

So, if you're interested, please let me know. If you know anyone who would be interested, please share this note or forward it on to them. Any help would be appreciated.

Just added The XX plus the band i'm reaaaally excited to add: Ponytail :-)

I said I don't appreciate it. :'(

She & Him, Liars, Trash Kit now playing the Groening event. This one is gonna kill.

(I guess I must be pretty poor if a bit of rope = half of my money.)

put it on your credit card

That does look awesome. But it's a Primavera year this year. Unless anyone wants to fund a 'take the entirety of ilx to ATP' trip? No? ;_ ;

So the pavement line-up is complete now, last additions were Avi Buffalo, Surfer Blood, Times New Viking aaaand Terry Reid featuring Matt Sweeney.

does that mean there's more to be added to the Groening line-up?

I'm all booked up to go [smugbastard]

Yep maybe 5 more to come for Groening.

Ever since MoMA got the Tim Burton exhibit, everyone keeps asking me how I liked it when I wear my ATP Nightmare Before Christmas 08 hoodie.

Its because you're wearing it at the same time as your Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas official baseball cap.

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 of
ATP ICELAND on the 1st and 2nd of July.
We've made every effort to make this show happen, but unfortunately the lack of communication
and the failure to honour any of the agreements that we made with Barry Hogan (ATP), made it impossible for us to perform
at this year ATP ICELAND.

Jesus christ this is like the longest death scene ever filmed, will someone just put this failed endeavour out of its misery please

mass intervention for the punters necessary imo, get em out of this unhealthy relationship for everyone's sake

From Facebook:

ATP - R.I.P
It 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.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Picked the right day to bury 'bad' news.

don't worry, I'm sure it's just a miscommunication

something something dickmilk something something

RIP please

I held on hope. I will miss them dearly.

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

it's sad he was a Ponzi scheme

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
