Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Andy]

There will be some clashing I just hope most of the stuff I want to see isn't on the big tent stage cos the sound ain't as good on that one.

[Insomnivore]

3 Stages. Main Stage (Pavillion) and two other club like venues. All indoors in the same building within a 30sec dash from each other. bands play from 2pm til 2am(ish). Kick-off is around 6pm on the friday so get in and get settled as they always seem to put someone good in that spot.

Sometimes the bigger bands choose to play the 2nd stage as the sound is better (more bass) which can make for a mighty line to get in. The Pavillion can sound like a tin can so get up close.

Basic point is yeah bands will clash but get your running shoes on and you'll at least SEE everybody you want to, although there will be about 40 bands/acts eventually announced.

it sometimes goes later now, until 3 or 3:30am, then djs until 4 or 5.

the pavillion sounds a lot better now than it did when the fests first started being done there, for the last two we've
had that stage fully curtained off so the sound is a lot better and you dont get the distractions of burger king
in the corner of your eye

we also tend to get some of the big names to play more than one set so that sometimes solves clash problems.
god i'm excited already and its still 4 months away and lineup still not halfway done

should have some more announcements for you in the next week too.

[Lunica]

Great, thanks a lot for making the effort
I'm excited!

Yeah, that's a tough one. I found a fourth person last month or something, otherwise you could have taken the empty spot in our chalet.

I actually know a few guys who are still searching for a few people to go with. Send me a pm if you're interested.

[Salt]

Aw heck, I'm really wanting to go to this but the only friend I know who would be interested in coming with me lives on the other side of the country (I'm from Australia). I'm trying to convince him to get a job and get the money to pay for his flight but I'm not sure if tickets will last until then...

People are always looking for spaces, you could always buy a 2 personer and then sell the other
half to someone if you dont mind sharing with a stranger? Lots of people do this.

Butthole surfers twice in a year - sweet. A year ago, I thought I would never see them.

When I was eleven I had a crazy guy walk up to me and start talking about how his brother is a screw up.. What sticks out in the rant is that he kept calling his brother a butthole surfer.  The only time Ive heard that used aside from the band.  Weird!

I thought the butthole surfers were a gay polka band before I knew anything about music.

I don't have what it takes to sleep in a room with a stranger, maybe if they're handing ludes out at the door i could get by

butthole surfing is oral retreval of annally deposited seaman...or floating in an inner tube down a river.

You only have to sleep there, though. We'll be at the festival area all day, so you don't have to hang out with the psychopath in your room that much

[jamie_atp]

or you could book the room and then sleep in a friends chalet/on their floor/ on their sofa!
then the stranger would get an even better deal!
