Animal Collective Collecting Artists For ATP

The festival takes place May 13-15, 2011 at Butlins Minehead in Somerset, United Kingdom.

“I always wondered what kind of mixtape Animal Collective would put together, so we are really stoked that they are climbing into the curating hot seat at Butlins next May where they will headline and curate the festival that includes the likes of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Gang Gang Dance from an already eclectic mix of 40+ acts,” ATP promoter Barry Hogan said.

The lineup also includes Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Broadcast, Black Dice, IUD and Omar-S. Prince Rama will also be there along with Spectrum, Dent May, Group Doueh, The Brothers Unconnected, Sublime Frequencies DJs + Films, Deradoorian, Zomby and Vladislav Delay.

Meat Puppets are performing the band’s 1985 album Up on the Sun. The Frogs are also going back to the ‘80s by performing their 1989 album It’s Only Right and Natural.

More artists will be announced soon.
