Happy-strumming folkie fella Devendra Banhart has been announced as the final curator at next year's United Sounds Of ATP event at Camber Sands.

Weekend one, May 12-14 2006
Devendra Banhart*
Mudhoney*
Yeah Yeah Yeahs*
Comets On Fire
Country Teasers

Weekend two, May 19-21 2006
Ween*
Sleater Kinney*
The Shins*

We'll have the names of confirmed acts as and when they're announced, but for all immediate details regarding booking and travel, et cetera, please see the ATP website. Banhart plays London's Astoria this very evening.



  • eurgh

    i'm definitely going to the WEEN one now.

  • definitely

    going to weekend 2.

    Woo hoo, can't wait!

    • Little Wings

      I have it on good authority that Little Wings will be playing Banharts ATP day. Surely this is enough of a reason to book tickets. Well. It is for me.

      • ...

        This makes me wish I has friends

        • make that

          Friends with decent taste and money

          • we could pretend to be friends...

            there's no way anyone I know in the 'real world' will pay to go to this with me. Even getting people to go to Reading is usually pushing my luck.

            If you are really interested in going I'd be up for chalet share or finding other lonesome DiSers to make it a foursome, so to speak.

            My pathetic propostioning reaches out to anyone else who would like to adopt me or team up. Preferably for week 2 but really I'm not that bothered as I am sure either would be great.

            Any pms on the matter happily received
            desperately and in hope
            silence-r

            • Heh

              Well all the DiS people I've met so far have been rather nice, so I shall think about it actually...

              Not sure which weekend I fancy really. Well, till the line up comes out. I loves me some Ween though.

              We could be like "Hey! Bud!" And make up a whole back-story of how we became friends so as not to seem sad...

              And Diver could even sleep on our floor if he pays us in beer.

              • !

                I'm still hoping The Shins will get David Cross down...either way I'm going to have to go.

  • }

    i bet this was good

    • Aye it was

      Me and my mates got really drunk on Banhart's day and saw about 2 bands. One of them was Banhart.

      Then we chucked beer over each other.

      Nice folk day.
