The World Famous ATP Music Festival series presents:
June 28 & 29 2013 at Ásbrú (Former Nato Base), Keflavík, Iceland
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS to headline Saturday 29th
Single Day Tickets Now Newly Available
Day & Weekend Tickets Available now from this link...
Described as the "ultimate mix tape", All Tomorrow's Parties is a boutique festival that goes against the grain of the larger, more commercial music festivals - with quality and customer experience coming first - presenting award winning sound and acclaimed organisation. Since 2000 it has spread its ethos of uniquely intimate and eclectic events through the UK and onwards to Spain, Australia, Japan and the USA.
Recently ATP was very excited to announce our first All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Iceland on June 28th & 29th at the former NATO base in Keflavík, which is now called Ásbrú. It will be headlined by the incomparable NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - this is the first Icelandic Nick Cave show since 2006 and the first show with The Bad Seeds since a legendary 1986 visit.
Due to demand we are now offering Day Tickets for the event to help those who cannot attend both days. These are available now priced at 9,900 ISK / 61 Euros (+booking fee). Here is how each day looks:

Date: The festival takes place on two days - Friday 28th and Saturday 29th June, 2013. The music will run from 6pm to 2am each day (exact times subject to change) with around 20 acts set to play live across the two days.
Location: ATP Iceland will be held at Ásbrú, the former NATO base in Keflavík, Iceland. The former NATO base dates back to 1941 and the last US military personnel left in 2006. The site is located only 5 minutes away from Iceland's main international airport, 15 minutes from the famous Blue Lagoon and 30 minutes from Reykjavík. The festival site will host two indoor stages and a cinema with films picked by ATP and the bands, as well as the usual ATP extracurricular activities like DJs, Pop Quiz (hosted by Dr. Gunni - musician, music writer and host of pop quiz TV show Popppunktur for eight seasons) and much more. The capacity for the intimate festival is just 4000 people.

Transport:
From Keflavík International airport or from Keflavík itself:
The easiest option is to take a taxi at the taxi-stand outside the airport. The festival site is a 5-minute drive away. A good taxi number in Keflavík is +354 420 12 12.
From Reykjavík:
We recommend taking the FlyBus (https://www.flybus.is/flybus) from Reykjavík to Keflavík International Airport, and from there to take a taxi to the festival site. The buses leave from BSÍ, the central bus station.
There is limited on-site parking so please, if you are coming with three friends please all arrive in the same car- not four separate ones. Once the car park is full you will have to park elsewhere, so be prepared!
