ATP update: Yo La Tengo and Les Savy Fav confirmed for Fans Vs weekender
- Artists:
- Les Savy Fav »
- Yo La Tengo »
Good news, ATP fans! You, the ticket-buying voting types, have successfully secured the services of both Yo La Tengo and the best live band in the world Les Savy Fav for the second Spring weekender, to be held May 18-20.
The acts join the likes of Youthmovies, Built To Spill and Mogwai at the first-ever Fans Vs-themed weekend; the first weekender of the year, the Dirty Three-helmed event of April 27-29, will now feature The Scientists alongside Grinderman, Joanna Newsom and Cat Power.
Both weekenders are held at Butlins in Minehead. We went in December. It was cold!
Full bills, as confirmed so far, can be found at the ATP website. We're listening to LSF's Inches right now. Damn straight, brothers and sisters.
