This March to open the festival season, All Tomorrow's Parties return to Butlin's Holiday Centre, Minehead, UK for a weekend headlined and curated by Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum. As well as performing a rare headline set featuring material from both Neutral Milk Hotel albums and other rarities, Mangum has chosen the line-up to play across the weekend on three indoor stages with a total festival capacity of just 5000 people.
Every ticket includes private accommodation in a heated apartment with TVs, beds, bathroom facilities and kitchens (in Self Catered apartments) - and all performances take place indoors with fantastic sound so no need to worry about mud or weather! The event also includes DJs, Cinema and much more.

ABOUT ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES
All Tomorrow's Parties has been promoting festivals and concerts throughout the world for the last ten 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. 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 from Warp, out now on DVD.
