ATP confirms Nightmare Before Christmas additions
Posted:
ATP's Nightmare Before Christmas weekender - scheduled for December 5-7 at Minehead's Butlins holiday camp - has seen its bill swell again.
Added to the line-up - co-curated by Mike Patton and the Melvins - are Squarepusher (pictured) and the reformed (in their original 'classic' guise) Butthole Surfers.
Squarepusher hasbeen selected by Ipecac head-honcho and former Faith No More vocalist Patton, whose Fantômas group will perform their The Director's Cut LP in full at the annual winter event; the Buttholes come your way courtesy of those lovely Melvins men.
Also recently added to the already impressive bill are Mastodon, The Dirtbombs, Farmers Market and JG Thirwell's Manorexia (ex-Foetus).
Find tickets here, but be fast: two- and three-berth chalets are already sold out at certain outlets. The line-up in full, so far:

DiScuss: Shaping up nicely, as expected, no? Have you got your ticket yet? Who would you love to see added? Me, I've my fingers crossed for Dillinger Escape Plan - with Patton there, the show would be immense.

-
Woohoo!
Just need to get a ticket now!
-
...
I've just come.
Now for a hard six - Dillinger and Slayer. COME ON!
-
I will be totally somewhere else
duuuude.
-
but i only just saw the butthole surfers
at great expense. why did you do this to me?
quit my moaning. this is going to be 'mazing.
-
Eh?
Get your head checked
-
CARDIACS
and SLAYER PLEASE
-
cardiacs tour is off/delayed
because one of them had a heart attack (but is okay apparently)
-
PLEASE!
holy shit batman. it gets better and better.
what a line up...
please please come on!!! Part Chimp, Qui, Dub Trio...
-
that didnt occur to me
but it is quite funny. poor guy. i'd love to see them
-
Although In deserve my own chalet I can't afford it.
I'm not sure any of my friends would want to go.
-
how brilliant would that be?!?!
fantastic news about Tom jenkinson for now though.
-
God this looks good!
Like my dream festival! What a crying shame none of my mates want to/can go :o(
If I had the dosh I'd just grab a chalet to myself but I don't. I'll just have to try and refrain from reading these sorts of news items from now on!
-
Yes this is really bad news
I'm sure Patton would have wanted Cardiacs but Tim needs to recover.
-
probably funnier though
I was just saying to one of my chalet-mates yesterday that I wished Patton would hurry up and confirm Squarepusher. So, nice.
Since he seems to be spying on me, I might as well come out and ask - Mike, how about Doseone or Amon Tobin? Thanks.
-
I'd like to go to an ATP one day.
But every time they announce a line-up there's only ever two or three bands I really like, and then just loads of similar ones. Where's the variety?
-
Bloody hell
I need to get this sorted.
Please add Hella and Slayer soon so I can make my friends as excited as I am....
-
this looks ok
can't afford it though. ah well.
-
oh em jee
i am defs goin to this yeh
-
ah
butthole surfers!
i need to get sorted on chalet soon. -
Butthole Surfers, nice.
Squarepusher's dull as fuck though.
-
part chimp...
for the win
-
Get a press pass for £60
sleep on someones sofa in the chalet.
-
Great great news
About Butthole Surfers, never saw them back in the day
I'm really hoping for Jello Biafra. Or Boris. Or DEP. This just gets better and better
-
A Jelvins set
would be amazing!
-
If by 'someone', you mean you.
And by 'sleep on someone's sofa' you mean you'll be sleeping there while I steal you bed. Then maybe.
-
Man, I need some money.
September's going to be the earliest I can raise it, and I don't want to risk it selling out.
-
You should be ok
Plus, theres always spare tickets floating around come December anyway.
-
ah
it needed this.
-
oh hell yes.
my first atp is shaping up to be a good'n.
-
Doseone
would be an excellent addition.
-
Name me a festival that doesn't need a slot for the Buttholes
And I'll shave my hair off and eat it.
-
I'd like to see one of the incarnations of Faust on the lineup
That would be awesome.
-
WTF?
Fancy putting Mastobate in a quality line-up like that!
-
...
Does anyone know how many bands will be on at this one?
The Thurston Moore one had 22 and Portishead one was 40+ (I think)
I'm confused.
I'm sure I read somewhere on here a while ago that this would be around 40 bands.
If that's the case then I'm very excited s we're only half way there and it already looks fucking ace! -
Minehead
normally has 40ish bands.
The Thurston fest had this many too.Its the Camber ones that have less because its a smaller site.
