Mogwai
Love as Laughter
Need New Body
Miighty Flashlight
Faun Fables
Spoon
Mum
Born Heller
Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters)
Neil Hamburger
King Kong
The Naysayer
Endless Boogie
Pearls and Brass
Rednails
Sean Garrison

ATP is held, as always, at Camber Sands Holiday Centre (Pontins) in East Sussex. The beach is lush. (DiS recommends a fry-up at the cafe, looking out to sea. Unbeatable hangover cure.)

All the information you could ever want is here.

The beach is lush? In February?

You don't live by the sea do you?

Re: Slint-headlined ATP takes shape

Hopefully gonna grab a ticket now they're on, it'll be my first, can't wait, although i feel guilty paying 120 quid purely to see mogwai

Wahey Mogwai and Slint! Together! On the same bill!

It'll be like seeing a father and son reunion. Seriously, I love both bands but not sure if I'll be able to afford to go. Shite.

Slint and Mogwai would be mental. its official. all i got at the Chapman one aside from a great Trail of Dead set was a spiked drink and a Bolton Wanderers mug.

Born Heller are fucking great, Josephine Foster will soon be a household name, I have no doubt.

Nightmare Before Christmas was indeed spectacular, the best ATP I have attended.
