ATP April to be headlined by Nick Cave

by Mike Diver [Edit this content] ▾ 0 comments 10:28 October 20th, 2006

The frankly legendary Nick Cave - I played The Boatman's Call on the way into work, y'know - is to headline April's All Tomorrow's Parties festival.

The Australian, pictured, will perform solo at the three-day festival, to be held at Minehead Butlins Holiday Camp over the weekend of April 27-29. Tickets are on sale now, priced at £120-£140.

The event's curated by The Dirty Three, and acts also confirmed to play include: Grinderman, The Drones, Low, Papa M, Tara Jane O'Neil, Magnolia Electric company, Faun Fables and Brokeback.

This will make me ever unpopular

but I have never been bowled over by Nick Cave - I find his fans especially repellant, which is a shame as the Bad Seeds are excellent musicians.

I'm too old for ATP now I think. that's sad.

You're never too old for ATP.

And what's wrong with Nick Cave fans?

joeymahone @prole-art-threat | 20 Oct '06, 10:45 | X | Reply

prole, you're in trouble now

any more attacks on my heroes, and I'm going to... look cross.

oh, and

YAY!

nice_squirrel @nice_squirrel | 20 Oct '06, 10:52 | X | Reply

so excited!

with or without?

Is he solo, like recent live shows or is it with the Bad Seeds? obviously there's probably gonna be some kind of collaboration with Dirty Three but what's the core set gonna be?

I love Nick Cave by the way.

Seeing these acts individually

would be/has been amazing.

Seeing them one after another at atp will be a snorefest. Not enought variety. Plus, the drones being absolutely dire is a stumbling block.

usa_nails | 20 Oct '06, 11:11 | X | Reply

hmm

that is a possibility, i'm hoping that it'll diversify a bit once they announce some more. i think i might hold out to hear the second weekend headliners before committing...

The Drones are not dire!

soup100 @usa_nails | 20 Oct '06, 11:34 | X | Reply

Are they the Drones who were 'big in Manchster'

in the 70s? I'm 'guessing' they're not.

prole-art-threat @soup100 | 20 Oct '06, 12:09 | X | Reply

i'm of two minds...

re this line-up. whilst i'd be intrigued to see nick cave perform, i hold the same reservations prole (re fans)& jamie_s (diversity/2nd wend).

papa m and brokeback, i'd really like to see but think i'll hold off for a london show.

also, i'm not too sure about minehead... obviously the atp folk want to encourage a larger audience, so hence the move to a bigger 'holiday camp'... i guess i'll see how it pans out at the nightmare b4 xmas before i commit...

are total Blues Hammer!

Well, perhaps I'm "too old" for ATP too,

being - GOSH! - in the latter half of my twenties. And although I am actually quite repellent, I've never found the time to develop a proper, full-on Nick Cave habit. But I think I shall be purchasing tickets for this - I'm still an ATP virgin, for one thing, and having spent countless drunken nights watching Nick Cave live videos with my boss, I know I SIMPLY MUST see him in the real live flesh at some point before one of us dies. Plus he really likes Bury St Edmunds - does that, by association, make all of Bury St Edmunds repellent too?
