Melvins and Mike Patton to curate Xmas ATP

melvins

Melvins and former Faith No More frontman Mike Patton have been announced as joint curators of ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas Event in December.

As well as our genial hosts, performances from the likes of Isis, Big Business, Zu and The Locust look set to make this the rockingest ATP in time.

The event takes place December 5-7 at Butlins Holiday Camp, Minehead; expect more intrigue to follow in the coming weeks on these very news pages.

The line-up so far:

Curated by Melvins

Melvins
Isis
Neil Hamburger
Dlek
Big Business

Curated by Mike Patton

Fantmas perform The Director's Cut
The Locust
Zu

Tickets for the event are available here and here, among others, with early bird prices up for grabs 'til July 1.

'Til then, a video of Neil Hamburger doing what he does best. Weird.

  • Will definitely go.

    Will definitely get a severe bangover.

    Will definitely have a brilliant time.

    • hurrrrrah!

      see you there?

      • Damn right!

        God, imagine if Slayer got added as well...I'd be a mess. A wonderful mess.

        • I'd love to see Slayer at ATP

          that would be BREWTALZ

          • it would r00l

            big time. If I get to hear War Ensemble live I'll die a happy man

        • that would actually be the best thing ever

          mmmmmmm slayyyyeeer

    • Taxi for Denney...

      I'd go if Fantômas were playing, but not Fantmas....

      • Ha!

        Do you exist just to be pedantic?

        That's brilliant. You're brilliant.

  • No ATP

    is complete without the Locust being there. They've probably being to Butlins more times than Shane Richie has.

    • Eh?

      They've only played the Mars Volta NBC I think (and not at Butlins).

  • see tickets are claiming Mastodon are there too

    cool

    • this is making me wet my pants :D

      just need to get £600.00 together :O

    • Where?

      I can't see this :(

      • it's in one of the emails i get

        plus it's true

    • SHIT I NEED TO GO

      who wants to pay for me?

  • This seriously the greatest shit ever.

    I NEED TO GOOO!!!

  • Not sure whether any of my friends will be into going to this,

    but I think I'm going to book a 2-berth anyway.

    • Is Dlek

      supposed to be Dalek?

    • They'd be more interested

      if the Squarepusher rumours are founded I bet.

      • Yes...

        ...yes, they would.

  • it would have been much better if patton curated this on his own

    but still, it should be awesome. Count me in!

    • Squarepusher rumours?

      Fucking hell... that would almost be too much for me to handle. The sheer concept of seeing Mike Patton wandering around Butlins is worth the money alone.

      • Fuck it

        I've bought tickets. A-fucking-wooga.

      • .

        agreed!

    • Other way round!

      But I suppose he has picked Zu.

  • can't

    afford
    it
    yet
    you
    bastards
    !

  • stock band alert.

    • definitely goin!

      i think i saw that neil hamburger guy supporting tenacious d; he didn't go down to well but i thought he was better than the headliners, reminds me of andy kauffffman, which could only be a good thing!
