Akron/Family

...all confirmed.

Best part is ye get to make a top ten list of bands you'd like to see play when you buy your ticket. Who would you choose? I'll have to mull over a potential one for awhile, but I'd love to see Ween on there for this year.

EDIT: Oh yea, here's a link.

John

Akron/Family are the only ones I'd be interested in seeing there myself. They blew my face off in Crawdaddy. The rest are a bit meh.

Mr Rivers

Do Make Say Think & The Notwist would be tops of my list oh yeah! Hopefully a tour this side round then!

Would like to see Notwist. I have a feeling this lineup will become something very interesting.

The list just seems a little obvious. Great list but where's the freaky surprises? Still though, the confirmed line up looks great already.

suz

The Notwist are absolutely fantastic live - i've travelled to see them and their various side projects a few times, saw them most recently in Berlin last February. Not sure if they'll have any new stuff to play but they're really a terrific live band; their 13&God shows were also spectacular.

Does anyone know how ATP Minehead stacks up from a logistic perspective?
Is it relative sans stress once you get there? Anyone have any experiecnes to report back on/know what the numbers are limited at?!

Thanks! Suzy

Toast

They played here back in 2003 but I missed them. Id like to think if I do miss ATP someone will bring them over again around the same time.

pcorry

whats the deal with tickets for this?is it likely to sell out quick?

You need to get a bus, train, and then another bus if you go through Bristol Airport. It's actually a grand trip since the distances on everything are quite short. All the bus/train travelling will set you back about £30 though... almost as much as the plane fare!

Capacity is about 5,000. As for availability just keep checking the "News" section on the ATP site; they'll let you know when tickets are running short. I reckon this'll happen in February.

Oh God, why do I have to be doing my Leaving this year....

I missed out on the Nightmare Before Christmas and now this....

voidoid

I've bought my ticket for this and am now just waiting for Liars to be added to the bill

lordgoat

Cat Power is playing this now as well (i think)
