Oh man! You guys that were pissed when they announced this festival are going to be furious. The line-up for December's 10 Years Of ATP just got real, real good.
Joining in on the Christmastime fun will be:
Battles, Sunn O))) J Mascis & The Fog Apse Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and Alexander Tucker & Decomposed Orchestra.
There's some very high-profile indie legends in that thar set of additions, no?
Already on the bill were giants of fuzz and muff-making Mudhoney, fellow Washingtonians The Melvins, Deerhoof, Shellac, Tortoise, Explosions In The Sky and a couple more.
The weekend takes place the weekend after the My Bloody Valentine curated Nightmare Before Christmas, on the same site at Butlins, Minehead. That's December 11-13, 2009.
Fear not those who are going to the MBV event, there's also an addition for you today. You get The Dirty Three added to your bill.
This leaves the line-up for that looking like this:
My Bloody Valentine Sonic Youth De La Soul EPMD The Horrors Sun Ra Arkestra Fucked Up Spectrum Le Volume Coubre Wounded Knees The Pastels J. Mascis & The Fog A Place To Bury Strangers Lilys Witch Bob Mould Dirty Three
That weekend takes place from 4-6 December, also at Butlins, Minehead. Tickets are available for both events now. Click here for all that sort of stuff.
