Probably going to go to both but if it comes down to it i'll choose the Loop one i'd imagine.

GravitySlips 04.26.2013 07:00 AM

would love to go to both but it'll just be the Loop one in all likelihood.

Why are these the last ATP festivals in the UK? :(

They went bankrupt last year and had to downsize to camber sands from butlins. So I suspect it might be for financial reasons.

"Somewhat melancholy news reaches the Quietus offices this morning in the form of an email informing us that long-running festival hosts All Tomorrow's Parties are "calling time" on the holiday camp editions of the festival. The aim, they say, is to "allow ATP to focus on their growing schedule of city and international based events in 2014 and beyond."

In other words: they loose money on the holiday camp festivals, while the Ill be your mirror events are financially more secure.


I will probably go to the first one, since a lot of my friend will prefer that one. Might go to the second one as well.

I'll be going to the first one. Anyone want to share with me and cake?

I would, Stu. But I'll most likely I'll be moving to Vietnam in following 2 months' time (I got a job offer there), so all other plans are debatable.

Toilet & Bowels 04.27.2013 07:56 PM

tbh I've been expecting this since they started doing four festivals/year and with less and less interesting line ups as time goes by. If you compare The Tortoise, Autechre or SY ATPs of 10 years ago to the sort of thing they have now (e.g. Archers of Loaf reunion, constant recycling of 80s/90s bands etc) at a much larger (i.e worse) and more difficult to get to venue, it's two completely different festivals. It's a shame and everything, but all the things that made ATP interesting & exciting have gradually been lost as time went by, and now it barely stands out from the much cheaper and more convenient (and dull looking) stuff like Field Day.

h8kurdt 04.28.2013 02:03 AM

Yeah I agree. I dunno why they ever thought 4 festivals a year was a good idea. However, I do still think they're capable of getting some great bands to play. This'll be my 8th time going to one and sure, it did start to feel like over-familiarity was kicking in, especially at Minehead, but nothing beat when you saw that great band you'd never even heard of and being blown away.

I guess the idea of Fugazi doing it is still a pipe dream!

In all likelihood I won;t have the cash for this but if I did I got to the one Wolf Eyes are playing at

Genteel Death 05.17.2013 07:29 PM

Is it a bad thing I feel it's a good thing this festival ceases to exist?
