Well this has made me very very happy.
All Tomorrow’s Parties is honoured to announce that the legendary Pavement will curate ATP in May 2010!!!
It would be fair to say, we at ATP get to present some very special bands. But we are beyond excited to announce that legendary US band Pavement will headline and curate the weekend of May 14th-16th in 2010!
After years of speculation, arguably the most important American band of the Nineties is returning to the stage with the line-up of Mark Ibold, Scott ''Spiral Stairs'' Kannberg, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West reuniting for dates around the world in 2010 including curating and performing at ATP Weekend 2 on May 14th – 16th.
Described in their own Wikipedia entry as having experienced ''moderate commercial success,'' Pavement's catalogue for the Matador, Domino, Drag City and Treble Kicker imprints has come to define in the eyes of many, the blueprint for independent rock over the past generation and we are thrilled to have them join our illustrious list of curators.
Tickets are priced at £160pp for room only and £170pp for self catering and go on sale this Friday 9th October at www.atpfestival.com
Tickets go on sale before the lineup is announced???
lets out a big yawn
I've never really got pavement.
Anyone know anyone in the ATP press department? ProD? HEB?
I've never really got pavement neither.
There should be a ATP VS Mess+Noise in Melbourne!
that's coz you're a hippie.
Broken Social Scene will be there I'd say
They went down REALLY well closing the mainstage Sunday at the EITS ATP.
surely Ibold will get Sonic Youth to tag along as well
Malkmus to get Sleater Kinney out of retirement
Spiral Stairs to invite local heroes Gersey
Sleater Kinney!
Malkmus was a big fan of Crow. He used to talk them up in interviews. Just sayin'.
