if only you'd said there would be crossover from the start I think the angry mob would have been less so. I am so fucking excited for Dirty Three, a thousand thanks.

I was probably wrong about the angry mob thing, but in any case: DIRTY FUCKING THREE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

amazing the ten year one is going to be the funnest weekend ever

One of the best live acts I've witnessed.Brilliant bit of business.

I wish I had money at the moment, plus more friends willing to go.

Do you know what flavour of Sunn O))) performance will be playing? I think I recall that they're touring Monoliths and Dimensions in the winter, so is there a chance this will be one of the rumoured ensemble lime-up gigs? I really will have to get a ticket if it is.

Pleeeeeeeease?!

Get in!

:D

i can't wait to hear more moans... still feel second best...

who wants a 6 berth at MBV then?

Very nice additions. Now not to sound greedy or nowt but can we have some beats type business at the 10 Year one. I know it's coming but I'm impatient...

that i got on the installment scheme for this!!! all we need now is some Sonic Youth action and Pavement to reform....its possible.. Stephen Malkmus...Mark Ibold's playing bass for the yoof these days.

dirty fudging three! never know the mbv one could well be just as good as the 10 year one at this rate.. omg more techno and noise and stuff plz k thx bai
(uhm..)

both these line ups are ace. i wish i had some money.

will my friends see this and decide they're up for going!

I think there's going to be a lot of these lame feeble begging letters for cross lineup pollination. But stick two awesome lineups one weekend after another and that's what'll happen.

That the Dirty Three announcement has disappeared from the ATP site. Or am I being dense?

...can you 'ave a word in Shields' shell-like and get him to book Sunn O))) for the MBV one too! If not I am going to have to break the piggy bank and risk divorce by going to both. Cheers :-)

unless dirty three not being on the website means theyve fallen through in which case im angrier than ever

...That you can make the shoddy post-NBC, 10 Year announcement right, is if you get us Battles for MBV NBC. Only then would I be truly satiated and forgive you all your sins.

(and Tortoise would be nice too)

Although I do still have one of their t-shirts somewhere.

I really want to go to the 10 year one. Thing is none of my irl friends are into this kind of music. I usually end up going to gigs/fests on my own, which is fine.
If I bought a single ticket for this would I be chaleted up with three strangers? If some DiSers I know had a spare bunk would I be able to chose to stay there? How does it work?
(I meant to ask Jamie Summers on Sat but got too drunk and forgot)

playing at MBV weekend has been removed from ATP site.

Next ones to go will probably be the 2 berths.

dirty three back on the lineup/website!

we sold out of 4 berth self catering for MBV over the weekend, so there are only two self catered left for that fest (on wegottickets) and other than thats its some 4 berth room onlys left.

..shoegaze, with the addition of Swervedriver can we expect God Machine and Catherine Wheel too?

Malkmus, Deerhoof, Battles - I'm in heaven.

However, the most likely suspects among my friends are already going to several festivals this summer and hesitant about committing more money.

A couple more ace acts might do the trick though. When are the next announcements likely? Or will it have sold out by then?

MBV ATP lineup would totally SUCK. its very offencive to curate such an amazing one only days after

I have a friend who's coming with us to the MBV one on the fact that SY and De La Soul were on the original announcement, but now he really wants to go to the ten year one instead.. me? well, the addtion of buzzcocks/holy fuck/le volume courbe THEN J Mascic/Witch/The Pastels THEN Swervedriver and Bob pretty much makes it one of the best line ups i've ever seen. Ten year one can suck my balls, you lot always moan about ATP having the same line ups, and no you all got in a flap 'cos you've already bought tickets for one with a different line up (alright.. SY is the exception here - Thurston must just love Minehead in December) and you all want to trade that in/have a go at Jamie because you can't now go to the one with the bands that always play..

are playing the 10 years of ATP fyi

i am officially STOKED for the MBV weekend now. If only i could afford a 10 years ticket too :(

that is what I've been told.

*wants more mbv additions*
thankyouverymush

now the breeders added too, but nothing for MBV (again). Here's why I'm pissed off, ATP actually said the reason the 10 years could go ahead is that MBV sold so quickly. Maybe I'm wrong but that seems to indicate that the money generated form MBV has been used to book bands for 10 years, so the big names get stuck onto 10 years to sell tickets for that, and MBV get J Mascis and Dirty three who just happen to be playing at 10 years as well.

ATP clearly new they were going to do both events in the summer but not giving people the choice, until after they bought tickets for MBV smacks of greed and opportunism. Quite frankly the 10 years bill shits all over the MBV lineup, and this largely seems to be down to the people who bought tickets for MBV. I'm fast losing respect for ATP, only getting autechre, Pavement, Liars and Yo La Tengo stuck on the MBV lineup is going to offer you redemption!

I might well be very wrong, (feel free to disprove me with some decent additions to the MBV lineup.)

If MBV hadn't have sold so fast, and 10 years wasn't going ahead, would some of the bands from 10yrs likey to have featured on the MBV weekend?

well, yes clearly you can have respect for a company and their goals. I've got no problem with them making money at all, but a lot of people who bought tickets for MBV feel a little short changed by the difference in the quality of the lineups and the timing of the 10yrs announcement when ATP clearly new they were planning to do 2 events.

And yes, 'quality' of the bands is subjective, but this is my personal opinion and I'm probably not alone in thinking it.

ATP booked at least half, and I presume it will be the same for xmas? so it may not just be about 'if MBV want them' also about 'if ATP want them'....?

I'm actually Bob Mould, angry that I can't get to see Battles, Deerhoof and my old pals Kim and Kelly

Where'd you hear that?

I really mean Bob Mould with a large side order of wishful thinking.

Firstly, for the record I am not that hot_happy_ person but looking at the recent additions for the 10 years fest I'm not happy either. Don't get me wrong the MBV isn't a bad lineup but every announcement so far makes me less convinced that we are going to end up with 2 events of similar quality. And why would we? If I was in ATP's position I would be putting all my effort into attracting people to the second weekend as it makes perfect business sense.

Yeah I know, it's what the curators want etc... but let's not kid ourselves here. Sure 'quality' is subjective but ATP know perfectly well which bands are 'major' announcements for an ATP and so far, apart from the usual ATP recordings suspects, every announcement for weekend 2 has been a solid-gold DiS favourite. They know it. We know it. Whether or not it is fair to put that down to cold-hard business sense is neither here nor there and really I'm not interested what anyone from ATP has to say about it. It's like MPs expenses - it's how it looks that matters. I am desperate to be proven wrong here and will hold my hands up if this is the case but if not then I am done with ATP.

but haven't people been complaining about ATP having the same bands playing and not enough variety or new/different acts? I know that was an opinion and yes I was one of those.

For the record I'm going to both events in December and wanna celebrate the anniversary but I know its going to be full of bands I've seen before, some on several occasions. After the initial bombshell I'm coming round to the fact that the MBV line up is going to be a damn sight more interesting musically than 10 years, holding more surprises and adventurousness and, hopefully, some noise representation which I would prefer.

I say this as a long time ATP punter but I already have a feeling which line up I'm going to prefer come December, if anything the MBV one holds the edge already.

personally im all over the MBV weekend. But fair play 10 years look sweet too. they are crafty buggers the ATP mob arent they? But MBV, J Mascis, Sonic Youth and Swervedriver at one festival is my dream line up

I'm completely biased here but they would fit the bill so well
