I nearly missed out on the Godspeed ATP having some good bands because I didn't really check the thread - could someone give me a nudge if anyone decent appears on the line-up? Thanks.

who's curating?

the ATP site won't load for me.

Jeff Magnum is the first curator

ahh right ok, are they announcing the other curator today?

man i was playing The Raincoats album before i even read this.

in two weeks, the second will be announced (probably NBC).

A lot of people seem to be talking about the possibility of Southern Lord curating Nightmare.

That would be pretty cool.

Help yourself to a prize from the prize trolley.

:cool:

Nightmare Before Christmas
curated by Battles, Caribou & Les Savy Fav
9th-11th December 2011 at Butlins Holiday Centre, Minehead, UK
On Sale Thursday 3rd March at 5pm

ATP Concerts are very excited to present a second festival weekend for December 2011 at Butlins, Minehead. This year the Nightmare Before Christmas will be curated by three of the most stunning live acts on the planet - Battles, Caribou and Les Savy Fav! Each of these groups are renowned for their live performances as well as their acclaimed recorded material and we take great pleasure in bringing them together for what will no doubt be an amazing line-up of live music. Each band will headline and choose a line-up of 14 artists for one day of the festival -

Les Savy Fav on 9th December
Battles on 10th December
Caribou on 11th December

In total the line-up will feature 45 live acts playing across the weekend on three indoor stages with a total festival capacity of around 5500 people. The event also includes DJs, Cinema and much more - we will start to announce the bands chosen by each of our curators in the coming weeks and months leading up to the event. All tickets include accommodation in private apartments for you and your friends.

Not exactly a huge fan of any of the curators but there are another 42 acts to go on the bill so it does have potential.

i hoped battles would curate the whole weekend, sadly only one day.

don't know what to expect of the bands that the three are going to pick.
