ATP Concerts announce our annual UK holiday camp festival...

ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES curated by THE NATIONAL

December 7th-9th 2012 at Butlins Holiday Centre, Minehead, UK

On Sale Friday January 20 at 2pm via www.Gigantic.com and www.ATPfestival.com

ATP are extremely excited to announce our annual December festival, this year the three day event at Butlins, Minehead will be curated & headlined by Cincinnati, Ohio's THE NATIONAL - performing their only UK show of 2012.

Since their formation in 1999, The National have grown organically from indie cult heroes in their early years, to creating truly stunning LPs such as the amazing Alligator and Boxer, and more recently with the success of High Violet deservedly achieving crossover success to become one of the most acclaimed bands on the planet. Much of this success is based on their incredible live shows - ATP are very excited that the band have accepted our invitation to headline and to curate an exciting supporting bill featuring many of their favourite artists.

Today we can announce the first fantastic group of artists for the line-up:

The National

Kronos Quartet

The Antlers

Owen Pallett

Boris

Tim Hecker

Sharon Van Etten

My Brightest Diamond

Wye Oak

Lower Dens

In total the line-up will feature 40 live acts playing across the weekend on three indoor stages with a total festival capacity of just 5500 people. The event will also feature DJs until late, Cinema chosen by The National, Book Club curated by The National, and much more!
