ATP confirms Nightmare Before Christmas additions
ATP's Nightmare Before Christmas weekender - scheduled for December 5-7 at Minehead's Butlins holiday camp - has seen its bill swell again.
Added to the line-up - co-curated by Mike Patton and the Melvins - are Squarepusher (pictured) and the reformed (in their original 'classic' guise) Butthole Surfers.
Squarepusher hasbeen selected by Ipecac head-honcho and former Faith No More vocalist Patton, whose Fantômas group will perform their The Director's Cut LP in full at the annual winter event; the Buttholes come your way courtesy of those lovely Melvins men.
Also recently added to the already impressive bill are Mastodon, The Dirtbombs, Farmers Market and JG Thirwell's Manorexia (ex-Foetus).
Find tickets here, but be fast: two- and three-berth chalets are already sold out at certain outlets. The line-up in full, so far:

DiScuss: Shaping up nicely, as expected, no? Have you got your ticket yet? Who would you love to see added? Me, I've my fingers crossed for Dillinger Escape Plan - with Patton there, the show would be immense.

Looks like a thin Bill Bailey there.
Holy Fucking Macaroni
Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
I kinda want to go now.
BUTTHOLE SURFERS!!! THE DIRTBOMBS!!!
Tasty
and what this needed, in a way
Woohoo!
Just need to get a ticket now!
...
I've just come.
Now for a hard six - Dillinger and Slayer. COME ON!
I will be totally somewhere else
duuuude.
but i only just saw the butthole surfers
at great expense. why did you do this to me?
quit my moaning. this is going to be 'mazing.
Eh?
Get your head checked
CARDIACS
and SLAYER PLEASE
cardiacs tour is off/delayed
because one of them had a heart attack (but is okay apparently)
PLEASE!
holy shit batman. it gets better and better.
what a line up...
please please come on!!! Part Chimp, Qui, Dub Trio...
that didnt occur to me
but it is quite funny. poor guy. i'd love to see them
Although In deserve my own chalet I can't afford it.
I'm not sure any of my friends would want to go.
how brilliant would that be?!?!
fantastic news about Tom jenkinson for now though.
God this looks good!
Like my dream festival! What a crying shame none of my mates want to/can go :o(
If I had the dosh I'd just grab a chalet to myself but I don't. I'll just have to try and refrain from reading these sorts of news items from now on!
Yes this is really bad news
I'm sure Patton would have wanted Cardiacs but Tim needs to recover.
probably funnier though
I was just saying to one of my chalet-mates yesterday that I wished Patton would hurry up and confirm Squarepusher. So, nice.
Since he seems to be spying on me, I might as well come out and ask - Mike, how about Doseone or Amon Tobin? Thanks.
I'd like to go to an ATP one day.
But every time they announce a line-up there's only ever two or three bands I really like, and then just loads of similar ones. Where's the variety?
Bloody hell
I need to get this sorted.
Please add Hella and Slayer soon so I can make my friends as excited as I am....
this looks ok
can't afford it though. ah well.
oh em jee
i am defs goin to this yeh
ah
butthole surfers!
i need to get sorted on chalet soon.
Butthole Surfers, nice.
Squarepusher's dull as fuck though.
part chimp...
for the win
Get a press pass for £60
sleep on someones sofa in the chalet.
Great great news
About Butthole Surfers, never saw them back in the day
I'm really hoping for Jello Biafra. Or Boris. Or DEP. This just gets better and better
A Jelvins set
would be amazing!
If by 'someone', you mean you.
And by 'sleep on someone's sofa' you mean you'll be sleeping there while I steal you bed. Then maybe.
Man, I need some money.
September's going to be the earliest I can raise it, and I don't want to risk it selling out.
You should be ok
Plus, theres always spare tickets floating around come December anyway.
ah
it needed this.
oh hell yes.
my first atp is shaping up to be a good'n.
Doseone
would be an excellent addition.
Name me a festival that doesn't need a slot for the Buttholes
And I'll shave my hair off and eat it.
I'd like to see one of the incarnations of Faust on the lineup
That would be awesome.
WTF?
Fancy putting Mastobate in a quality line-up like that!
...
Does anyone know how many bands will be on at this one?
The Thurston Moore one had 22 and Portishead one was 40+ (I think)
I'm confused.
I'm sure I read somewhere on here a while ago that this would be around 40 bands.
If that's the case then I'm very excited s we're only half way there and it already looks fucking ace!
Minehead
normally has 40ish bands.
The Thurston fest had this many too.
Its the Camber ones that have less because its a smaller site.
