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.
