they're feigning interest. they really just want to wait for the next Guilfest line-up but hiding the fact behind this facade. Its pathetic really. I kiss my teeth at thee.

could work out crap, could be reaaally good. some of the confirmed stuff is ACE already, and most people can enjoy a good festival despite bad lineups (which i'm sure this wont be!)
and so far, this doesn't really interest me at all. it's largely bands that seem to tour a lot anyway.
with a voting system, there's going to be virtually zero obscurity or surprises, and to me the whole magic of ATP is that you get oddities like Negative Approach or The Dead C play, or you discover countless new bands you'd never heard of because someone else was picking them.
i think ATP should really go for the opposite direction and downplay the curator, whilst still having one: why does the curator have to headline? sometimes lesser-known musicians have the best taste.
i'd much rather have a curator dictating to me rather than for the same old bands playing again because by and large, when you get a vote, the same more well known acts will always get picked. whatever happened to discovery?
So there'll still be plenty of variation and surprises. I won't be going to this one, mostly for the same reasons as you, but alot of people will go and enjoy it so whats the problem? So far the Dirty Three have picked out a few interesting obscurities for their weekend so I don't think this spells the end for diverse & interesting ATPs.
Jake & Dinos Chapman curated what looked to be an awesome ATP. I went to the Gallow one and he just played for half and hour in the afternoon and all the other bands were amazing. At that ATP alone I discovered Gang Gang Dance, Afrirampo & Majick Markers before even UTR had put them on.
the fact is it depends on what you want. It will be a best of with bands everyone has heard of. But that will be AMAZING. It'll just be like a really really good version of a regular festival.
If you want underground bands to discover you have all the other ATPs ever for you. It'll be a good change.
SAME
I don't have any money, LOLZ.
I am going to
ATP1 and buggered if I can stretch financially to two ATPs in a month.
this upsets me greatly.
I'm so excited about this
I might get 'I HEART ATP WEEKEND 2' tattooed on my face.
I don't know if I can afford 2 as well as 1
but I could be persuaded...
Seetickets
let me swap my ATP1 tickets for ATP2 tickets last year.
Hmmm....
Right
after much soul searching I am going to go to this as long as the tickets haven't sold out by the beginning of december
DO IT
go ooooooon
vote!!

Lullabye Arkestra
Mates of State
Hidden Cameras
Err.
How many threads do we need on this? Two in the music board and the original on the festival board.
coz
people are excited
No they're not
they're feigning interest. they really just want to wait for the next Guilfest line-up but hiding the fact behind this facade. Its pathetic really. I kiss my teeth at thee.
the next
Guilfest line up is Paul Weller, Joan Armatrading and Status Quo
Really?
Then why the hell are we talking about ATP then? joan Armatrading? Fuck yeah!
it might tickle his fancy
you never ever know. he toured america last year just because he had to go pick up a used car in the south.

are on hiatus aren't they?
what I want to know is
whether this is the sort of event that could persuade some "on hiatus" bands to get back together as a one-off. I'm thinking here specifically of Drive Like Jehu...
I'd like Band of Horses to play
to make up for my disappointment last year. Also, Iron & Wine - there's only one of him, so less to negotiate.
How long does it usually take...
...for tickets to sell out? Need time to rally the troops first.
Mine is slightly similar.
Except I spell Phils name properly.

well we'll see

£130 on a bad lineup isn't something i can afford, personally.

They do 3 ATPs a year though.

i hope not.
and i hope that i'm pleasantly surprised by the lineup for this one, although it'll probably be long sold out by then :\
i'd just love to see someone with great taste that isn't necessarily in a really big band to pick a bill for ATP as there's so much potential there.
bah, humbug, etc.
They've done it before.
Jake & Dinos Chapman curated what looked to be an awesome ATP. I went to the Gallow one and he just played for half and hour in the afternoon and all the other bands were amazing. At that ATP alone I discovered Gang Gang Dance, Afrirampo & Majick Markers before even UTR had put them on.
i want this again!
they haven't done it in a fair while, which makes me think that they might never do it at the new site.
prove me wrong, atp!!!!!!!
This should be good
the fact is it depends on what you want. It will be a best of with bands everyone has heard of. But that will be AMAZING. It'll just be like a really really good version of a regular festival.
