About All Tomorrow's Parties
An extremely civilised festival for people who are genuinely into music and film. ATP invites a curator for each event to choose all the other bands playing on the bill- like making a mix-tape and then seeing it live. Past curators include Mogwai, Sonic Youth, Tortoise, Shellac, Stephen Malkmus, Matt Groening, Modest Mouse, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Slint, Vincent Gallo, Mars Volta, Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Devendra Banhart, Dinosaur Jr, Sleater Kinney, The Shins, Thurston Moore, Dirty Three, The Fans, Portishead...
ATP also put on gigs in London and throughout the UK, including the yearly Don't Look Back season in which bands perform classic albums live in their entirety.
