My Bloody Valentine will co-curate ATP’s first festival-sized foray into New York at the very tail end of this summer.
The near-mythical shoegaze pioneers will headline the event, naturally enough, while the likes of Built to Spill, Meat Puppets, Thurston Moore, Tortoise, Shellac, Autolux and Fuck Buttons will turn out, many performing ‘Don’t Look Back’-style, full album sets.
These are the details we have so far about who’ll be doing what at Kutshers Country Club in New York from the 19th ‘til the 21st of September:
My Bloody Valentine Built to Spill performing Perfect From Now On Meat Puppets performing Meat Puppets II Thurston Moore performing Psychic Hearts Tortoise performing Millions Now Living Will Never Die Shellac Mogwai Polvo Fuck Buttons Autolux The Drones Low Wooden Shjips Edan with Dagha Thee Silver Mount Zion Orchestra
Double that amount of bands and you’ll have the full line-up, which will unveil itself on DrownedinSound in due time – first, most probably, on the boards, where the organisers seem to take their lunch breaks. 3000 tickets are available for ATP New York, none of which are single day tickets and they go on sale this Friday (25 Apr) from the ATP website.
