The original boutique festival, All Tomorrow's Parties was founded in 2001, with Mogwai curating in the then unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands, UK. Since then the festival has appeared every year and has expanded across the globe continuing to set itself apart from large scale corporate events by staying intimate and fan-friendly, whilst influencing countless other festivals along the way.
Today we can confirm two very special December festival events at Camber Sands. These will be the last ever UK Holiday Camp festivals, two consecutive weekends with different line-ups going under the title ATP - End Of An Era. ATP will continue to promote curated events in the UK, but after our imminent TV On The Radio & Deerhunter curated spring weekends (tickets available now for both here), and these newly confirmed End Of An Era weekends, we will no longer be hosting them at our traditional holiday camp locations.
This is a chance for all of the ATP fans from over the years to reunite at Camber Sands for two huge final parties! We will be bringing back many fan favourites including many past curators and mixing them in with the latest and most innovative new artists around.
ATP's Barry Hogan:
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that the new curators for November will be our Catalan comrades that run the Primavera festival and the legendary band LOOP who I have to admit I never thought would return. All good things must come to an end and we have decided that the 2 weekenders this November are going to be the last ATP's staged in a holiday camp in the UK.
If you'd like to join us to celebrate the end of an era then come along this November. ATP will still continue with other events but this is the last hurrah of the original boutique music festival."
Today we can confirm the start of both line-ups with many more past curators, ATP Recordings artists and friends of ATP to be confirmed for both events in the weeks ahead...
Weekend 1 running from November 22nd-24th will be curated as a collaboration between ATP and our friends at Primavera Sound. Since 2001 the Primavera organisation has been running amazing festivals in Barcelona (and now Porto), featuring ATP curated stages at each event since 2007. As kindred spirits in their choice of incredible music from any and every genre, we're very happy to have them on board to help us pick the line-up. Fra Soler of Primavera: ‘When we first started Primavera Sound, ATP was already running and we were always delighted by their amazing line ups curated by amazing people. Though our festivals are slightly different we always felt there was a lot in common between us. Then we met and it was clear that working together was the following step. ATP stage at Primavera Sound has been an essential part of the event for years now and curating a festival where we´ve been having so many (heavy) parties is a dream come true and one of the nicest things we've ever been asked to do.’
So far for this weekend we can confirm performances by:
Television performing Marquee Moon (UK exclusive)
Dinosaur Jr.
Les Savy Fav
Chelsea Light Moving (feat. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore)
múm
Dinos Chapman
Oneohtrix Point Never

+ many more to be confirmed!
Weekend 2 running from November 29th-December 1st is curated by ATP and LOOP. Hailing from South London, Loop released three mindblowing albums in the late 1980s highlighted by 1990's A Gilded Eternity. Reviewing their recently reissue discography, The Quietus wrote "These were stars that burned and shone with an intense brightness, and it's testament to Loop's vision and delivery that the mark they made is indelible." ATP are very pleased to reunite Loop for this event and also to ask them to collaborate with us on choosing the line-up of the very last ATP Holiday Camp festival.
Robert Hampson of Loop: "ATP is the only place this could happen and be done well. Who else would offer the chance not only to play but also curate some of the bands alongside Loop on the day. It's quite special to be able to do this and make it happen. Besides, Barry Hogan has pestered me for so long about this, it would seem rather unfair not to let him have his 5 minutes of fame getting Loop to play again." For a further statement by Robert on the reunion click here.
So far for this weekend we can confirm performances by:
LOOP
The Pop Group
23 Skidoo
Fennesz
Edan (DJ set)
Dirty Beaches
Eaux
Hookworms

+ many more to be confirmed!

CHALET SHARING FOR PAIRS
If you wish to attend but can't find four people to fill a chalet, you can now buy a pair of tickets and we can match you up with another pair to share a chalet. Some testimony from previous chalet sharers:
"My boyfriend and I shared a chalet with two awesome ladies and had a blast! We came from the states, so it was a great way to meet new people and hang out." - Susan
"I hardly knew any of the guys I shared with at Shellac ATP, but loved the atmosphere. It actually turned out to be better than sharing with friends, and I'll surely be in touch with them for future gigs and festivals." - Grazia
