Tiny Mix Tapes

Battles, Les Savy Fav, and Caribou unite to make ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas 3x as scarily awesome

·

Like a modern day Power Rangers/Chronicles of Narnia/other-thing-where-people/lions-join-forces-to-do-stuff, ATP has announced that the trifecta of Battles, Les Savy Fav, and Caribou are teaming up to curate the annual Nightmare Before Christmas festival in Minehead, England. Wrap your mind around this: each band gets to curate their own day.

The festival runs from December 9-11, 2011, and Les Savy Fav get first dibs on Friday, Battles get Saturday, and Caribou takes Sunday, the day everyone’s hungover. (Or if you’re me, that day is today. Ugh.) Like every year, ATP’s Nightmare goes down at the Butlin’s resort. The lineup this time around includes 45 musical acts, and although details are scant, it promises to be a diverse weekend full of seaside charm, delightful performances and, of course, teamwork. It’s like a living Successories poster over there at ATP HQ. Tickets are on sale as of yesterday through ATPfestival.com.
