This year the world famous All Tomorrow's Parties music festival returned to our original home - Pontins holiday camp in Camber Sands. In 2013 our Spring/Summer festivals return - curated by TV On The Radio in May and Deerhunter in June, and we can now announce something very special for the Deerhunter weekend...
The Breeders re-unite, announce performance of 'Last Splash' at All Tomorrow's Parties Curated by Deerhunter
June 21-23 2013 - Camber Sands, UK - On Sale Now!
From Atlanta, Deerhunter have been one of the most exciting up and coming bands in rock music in the last decade. They are long time ATP regulars (and favourites) and we're very happy to have them head the bill. Their event takes place at Pontins, Camber Sands from Friday 21st - Sunday 23rd June 2013.
Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson played their first show together as The Breeders on Friday June 19, 1992, in a snooker hall behind Warrington Rugby Club in the north of England, near Manchester. Two days later they supported Nirvana in Dublin and Belfast, and then played at Glastonbury. Back in the US, after playing 27 sold-out shows that fall, they made their way to San Francisco to record Last Splash.
Released August 30, 1993, reviewers described Last Splash as "effervescent," "blistering," and "incoherent." At its center is the infectiously appealing, instantly recognizable "Cannonball." Propelled in part by the video directed by Kim Gordon and Spike Jonze, the song was voted Single of the Year by the NME. After more than two years of touring, they played their last show on September 5th, 1994, at Lollapalooza in Los Angeles.
17 years, 8 months, and 30 days later, Jim and Josephine got a text from Kim: should we get together to play Last Splash for its twentieth anniversary? They met up in November to start rehearsals. In June, 2013, they will perform the album live at ATP, Camber Sands, UK, curated by Deerhunter.
In April, 2013, 4AD Records will release LSXX, a Deluxe Anniversary Edition of Last Splash.
ATP can also confirm the addition of a special collaboration from Kim Gordon (ex-Sonic Youth) and legendary Japanese drummer/compose Ikue Mori for the festival.

ABOUT ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES
All Tomorrow's Parties has been promoting festivals and concerts throughout the world for the last thirteen years. It was founded in the wake of Belle and Sebastian’s Bowlie Weekender, with Mogwai curating in the unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands. Since then the festival has appeared every year and has expanded across the globe continuing to set itself apart from large scale corporate festivals by staying intimate and fan-friendly. The line-ups are chosen by significant bands or artists which results in eclectic events that combine performances by legendary and influential acts with appearances by the latest crop of experimental artists from any (and every) musical genre. The festival has become more successful with every passing year, and ATP events have taken place in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, with past curators including Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Mike Patton, My Bloody Valentine, Portishead, Sonic Youth, Slint, and Tortoise. In 2011 ATP launched a new series of curated city-based events called I'll Be Your Mirror, with events so far taking place in Tokyo, London and Asbury Park, New Jersey. ATP has set itself apart from other festivals by embracing seemingly disparate artistic genres, with events featuring art exhibitions, cinema programmes, spoken word performances and stand up comedy. It's been called 'Unforgettable' by Spin and 'the most enjoyable festival experience of our reporter's life' by Pitchfork. It has spawned an acclaimed concert series (Don't Look Back), a record label (ATP Recordings), and the release of a feature length documentary about the festivals titled All Tomorrow’s Parties, out now on DVD.
