In case you didn’t hear already, the line-up to May’s ATP Vs Pitchfork has been finalised.

So, chances are if your band hasn’t heard by now they haven’t made the cut. Two who have are Girls Against Boys and Bon Iver.

Revered Washington DC noise-rockers and new 4AD signing respectively, the acts join the likes of Sebadoh, Fuck Buttons, Deerhunter, Harmonia, Glass Candy, No Age and Jens Lekman for what looks likely to be a truly fantastic weekend of music.

Where? Pontin’s, of course, the holiday park in Camber Sands hosting all those acts and many more from the 9th ‘til the 11th of May.

de la soul and polvo

seal it for me on their own. then you have Stars Of The Lid, Lichens, Ola Porida and Eluvium.

then EITS & Mono

and Battles, Four Tet, Atlas Sound and Liars

and dinosaur jr, broken social scene, animal collective & and you will know us by the trail of dead.

and sunset rubdown, the national and a hawk and a hacksaw.

theres something for everyone, and its at minehead, which means you can actually have a pizza whilst watching a band. an actual pizza.


yeh but you might have to

dance with that guy in the tight yellow shirt. you know the one.


i dont think i do

you mean one of the staff? did i dance with one of the staff at ATPD3? have we met? who am i?


..

DANCE WITH ME DOWLING.


no no

there's a middle aged gent. who wears a tight yellow campesinos shirt. he is everywhere. he is legion. he's a pretty mean dancer though. mean as in good, not as in treads on your feet.


ATP vs EITS...

...update next please!

Although i am overly excited at the line up already I....need......more......BANDS!!


i think both line-ups

are superb! s'gonna be a fun fortnight...


Girls against boys!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

:D


Minehead takes the 'party' out of All Tomorrows Parties

Yeah, but at Minehead you have the hell that is watching your favourite band whilst light streams through a clear dome thus sapping all atmosphere whilst people wander around eating fast food and bands feel unnerved as all they can see is a neon Pizza Hut sign (witness Low last year)!


the main arena is much

improved...at xmas it had full black curtains hanging down the sides to create a tunnel effect, made things look better and improved the sound... black mountain's sound was absolutely stunning.


yeh the sun coming

through was actually great. and there were birds flying about the top of the tent.


Minehead

Is perfect. Absolutely perfect. And I didnt go at Xmas so am now excited about the improvements too.


yes

you could hear one cooing and flying about in the middle of 'dragonfly pills', it was immensely beautiful


Looking forward to this already!

Is going to be MEGA.


Bon Ivers album is probably the

loveliest record i've heard since my Puff The Magic Dragon cassette snapped in the player when i was 4.
