Battles, Caribou & Les Savy Fav to curate ATP's Nightmare Before Xmas

Battles, Caribou, Les Savy Fav will headline and curate the second festival weekend Nightmare Before Christmas planned for December from All Tomorrows Parties happening from Friday 9th until Sunday 11th December 2011 at Butlins Resort, Minehead, in Somerset.

Battles, Caribou, and Les Savy Fav will headline and choose a line-up of 14 artists for one day of the festival. Les Savy Fav headline Friday, Battles the Saturday, and Caribou on Sunday.

In total the line-up will feature 45 live acts playing across the weekend on three indoor stages with a total festival capacity of around 5500 people. The event also includes DJs, Cinema and much more - we will start to announce the bands chosen by each of our curators in the coming weeks and months leading up to the event.

Tickets are priced at £170 per person for room only and £180 per person for self catering and go on sale tomorrow (Thursday 3rd March) at 5pm, eFestivals will have links to buy them then.

For one week the organisers have decided to offer a special reduced price on a limited allocation of tickets. Everyone purchasing tickets for seven days, until 9am on Thursday 10th March, or until the allocation runs out will receive £20 off their ticket price. That means a room only ticket will be priced at £150 and a self catering room ticket will be £160.

The following week a batch of early bird tickets at a £10 per person discount (early bird £160pp room only, £170pp self catering) will then be available until the following Thursday 17th March (unless they run out first). Half the allocation of early bird tickets will be available to the pre-sale.

ATP will again be running a deposit scheme for tickets. This will offer a limited number of 4 berth apartments, both room-only and self-catering to be paid for with a small deposit upfront, and the remaining amount to be paid by the end of August 2011. These chalets will be sold at full price - £170 per person room only or £180 per person self catered.

People who would like to hold a 4 berth room only, must pay a deposit of £70 per person, (£280 for the apartment). The remaining £430 must be paid by Wednesday 31st August.

People who would like to hold a 4 berth self catering, must pay a deposit of £70 per person, (£280 for the apartment). The remaining £430 must be paid by Wednesday 31st August. There will also be a handful of 6 berth room only and self catered available too, contact organisers for details.
