Following the news that the Jeff Mangum-curated ATP event was to be rescheduled, plenty of people were wondering what the line-up would like when they came to re-announcing it. Well, now we find out as it has just been confirmed that the following bands form the bill - so far - for the event, which takes place next March.
Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel Versus The Music Tapes Magnetic Fields Group Doueh Mike Watt & George Hurley perform the songs of The Minutemen Joanna Newsom Boredoms Sebadoh Low Scratch Acid Thurston Moore Yann Tiersen The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion The Fall Young Marble Giants Robyn Hitchcock performing I Often Dream Of Trains The Raincoats performing The Raincoats The Magic Band The Olivia Tremor Control The Apples In Stereo Tall Firs Half Japanese A Hawk And A Hacksaw performing a new and original soundtrack to Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Lost In The Trees
This is not a bad start at all. Unfortunately some bands couldn't make it this time around, and they include Panda Bear, Tinariwen, Superchunk, Group Inerane, The Mountain Goats and Colin Stetson, which is a shame. ATP also inform us that they are hoping to confirm Fleet Foxes, Sun Ra Arkestra and Micachu & The Shapes very shortly.
Next year's Jeff Mangum ATP takes place at Butlins, Minehead from March 9-11. More information on tickets and whatnot can be found here.
