All Tomorrow’s Parties will make its Australian debut in January 2009 and the first acts have been revealed.
In addition to the already announced headliner and curator Nick Cave (who’ll be bringing his Bad Seeds), a host of agenda-setting talent will be gracing ATP. Cave’s discerning ear has led him to recruit Brisbane stalwarts The Saints, masters of expansive psych-rock Spiritualized, blues maverick James Blood Ulmer, experimental noisemakers Fuck Buttons and The Go-Betweens troubadour Robert Forster.
VICTORIA Friday 9 & Saturday 10 January, Mt Buller
All Tomorrow’s Parties will be setting up camp at the picturesque Mount Buller Alpine Resort, only a short road-trip away from Melbourne. It stretches over a full weekend, taking in three stages and over 30 bands. Of ATP’s three Australian stop-offs, this one is the true ‘festival’. On sale now.
Victoria line-up: NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, THE SAINTS, SPIRITUALIZED, FUCK BUTTONS, HARMONIA, THE NECKS, LAUGHING CLOWNS, ROBERT FORSTER, JAMES BLOOD ULMER, M GIRA, PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS, AFRIRAMPO, SILVER APPLES, BRIDEZILLA, ROWLAND S. HOWARD, THE STABS
