ATP have confirmed the initial line-up for the period in between the My Bloody Valentine curated Nightmare Before Christmas and the 10 Years of ATP celebration, herein known as 'In Between Days'.
It's a good one, too. So far we have the following bands appearing in the period of December 7-10:
Lightning Bolt
Tall Firs
Alexander Tucker
Fuck Buttons
Om
mum
Growing
Bardo Pond
Deerhoof
Polvo
APSE
Sleepy Sun
The - quite sensible - idea behind ATP putting on this In Between Days shiz is that some seemingly lobotomised lunatics do, in fact, want to go to both weekends, which is perhaps a little hardcore but commendable nonetheless. Obviously if anybody lived anywhere more than about 50 miles away from Minehead then the whole cycle of going-staying-leaving-going-staying-leaving can perhaps feel a bit much. And some people just like Butlin's.
So, with much logic, ATP decided to let people stay in between the two festivals. It's £100 per person for the four nights and is only available in four-berth chalets, self-catering. There is also the possibility to chalet share. Click here for more deets.
You can view the lineup for the MBV NBC festival here and the bill for the 10 Years festival here.
There's also a few more bands to be announced as well as some fun activities for the day time. Personally I'm hoping for a male grooming workshop, god knows beards can get unwieldy.
