Oh happy day! Three of our favourite live bands Battles, Les Savy Fav and Caribou are curating ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas.
Here’s what the organizers have to say:
"ATP Concerts are very excited to present a second festival weekend for December 2011 at Butlins, Minehead. This year the Nightmare Before Christmas will be curated by three of the most stunning live acts on the planet – Battles, Caribou and Les Savy Fav! Each of these groups are renowned for their live performances as well as their acclaimed recorded material and we take great pleasure in bringing them together for what will no doubt be an amazing line-up of live music.
