Hi there! Just a quick one here to say that much the admir'd Joanna Newsom has been confirmed to play the Matt Groening-curated ATP festival, which takes place in May this year, at Butlin's, Minehead. Cue moaning of people who went and bought ATP Pavement tickets and NOT MG ones.
Let's not go over the top just yet. Line-up now looks like this:
Joanna Newsom Liars She & Him Trash Kit Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions: Cold Cave: The Tiger Lillies: The Fresh And Onlys Hello Saferide Spiritualized CocoRosie Iggy & The Stooges The XX Ponytail Built To Spill James Chance and Les Contortions Thee Oh Sees Juana Molina Lightning Dust Konono N°1 Panda Bear The Residents Deerhunter Broadcast Daniel Johnston Amadou & Mariam Shonen Knife Ruins (solo) The Boredoms Toumani Diabate Danielson James Blackshaw Anni Rossi Viv Albertine's Limerence
The weekend takes place at Butlins, Minehead from May 7-9, and you can get your tickets from See Tickets, for either £170 or £160, depending on what sort of option you choose. You should know the deal by now.
The Newsom also plays a couple of shows at the Royal Festival Hall with Roy Harper, and releases her new record, Have One On Me, on March 1 through Domino in the UK.
