All Tomorrow’s Parties

All Tomorrow’s Parties takes great pleasure in announcing that The Breeders have been chosen as curators for ATP Weekend 1 taking place in May 2009.

Created by Pixies bassist Kim Deal in 1988, the band have released four stunning and influential albums including 1993’s highly successful Last Splash which spawned the epoch-making single ‘Cannonball’ and most recently the acclaimed Mountain Battles. The Breeders will perform at ATP and will pick a bill of 40+ artists to join them. The event will take place from the 15th-17th May 2009 at Butlins Holiday Resort in Minehead, England.

The line up so far also includes the equally legendary Throwing Muses, astounding newcomer Bon Iver and cult Scottish pop-rock group Teenage Fanclub. Confirmed so far:
