All Tomorrow's Parties confirm very special headliner for...
The End Of An Era Part 2: curated by ATP & Loop
Tickets On Sale Now from this link!
All Tomorrow's Parties was founded in 2000, with Mogwai invited to curate the line-up in the unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands. Since then the festival has expanded across the globe continuing to set itself apart from large corporate events by staying intimate and fan-friendly, whilst influencing countless other festivals along the way. Two special December festival events at Camber Sands will be the last ever UK Holiday Camp festivals - two consecutive weekends under the title The End Of An Era. Weekend 1 is now completely sold out, making Weekend 2 the last chance fans will have to attend this very special festival in it’s original holiday camp home.
Weekend 2 running from November 29th - December 1st will be curated by ATP and Loop. Loop released three mind-blowing albums in the late 1980s highlighted by 1990's A Gilded Eternity and ATP are very pleased to invite them to collaborate with us on the line-up which also sees Mogwai return to play the closing set of this final holiday camp festival. Today we can announce another very exciting headliner:
SLINT, hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, released two incredible albums on the Touch & Go label - 1989’s Tweez and 1991’s Spiderland. Spiderland left an unmistakeable imprint on the burgeoning ‘post-rock’ genre and gained many avid listeners across the next two decades. One of those listeners was ATP’s Barry Hogan:
“I'll never forget the first time I heard Spiderland. It’s one of those records that changed my life and even inspired me to reform the band in 2005 by flying to Louisville, and bringing all the original members together for the first time in 13 years. Spiderland still excites me now as much as the first time I heard it. To say we are fortunate to have this incredibly influential band play the final ATP is a huge understatement.”
After Hogan’s trip, Slint ultimately reformed to headline All Tomorrow’s Parties UK in 2005, then performed the Spiderland album in full for the first time at another short series of live appearances in 2007. ATP are very excited to be able to invite Slint back to make a very rare live appearance as one of the headliners of the last ever ATP holiday camp festival. A message from the band:
"Heartfelt thanks to Barry and ATP!! And to fans... LET'S DO THIS!!!"

These apartments will be sold at full price (£190) with a booking fee of £7.50 per person. For a 4-berth, this works out as: £360 deposit (£90pp) / £430 2nd installment (£107.50pp).

Please include: your name, address, chalet size, and which payment method you would like to use. Chalets will be granted on a first come first served basis and you will need to pay your first deposit within one week of acceptance into the scheme.
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
