A veritable selection of the world's most fantastic artists from across the whole wide world have been added to the bill for next year's Pavement curated ATP, the event so many of you were getting so damned excited about when it was announced a couple of months ago.
A total of 21 bands have been added to the line-up, which was already pretty special what with Pavement playing and all. Here they all are, in a rough order of descending importance (JOKES). Some of you may brand it predictable, others brilliant. Get over it, the both of you.
Broken Social Scene Mission of Burma Calexico The Raincoats The Fiery Furnaces The Walkmen Omar Souleyman + Sublime Frequencies Atlas Sound Grails The Drones Saccharine Trust Wooden Shjips The Clean Sic Alps Spiral Stairs Blitzen Trapper Pierced Arrows The 3Ds Marble Valleys The Authorities Wildbirds & Peacedrums
A fairly substantial list, with plenty to get yer teeth into. GRAILS, yes please! Wildbirds? Also quite positive! Atlas Sound! Well, I think I really should! Ummmm, Spiral Stairs! Surpriiiiiiise!
The festival has pretty much sold out, so there's no real use trying to get tickets because you will find it VERY HARD. However, if you've already got your tickets, I guess you can be pretty smug about these additions. Enjoy some Atlas Sound below.
