While Los Angeles prepares to host the first US version of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival next month, preparations for the 2002 UK version have already begun. It will be held, again, at Camber Sands, with the illustrious Steve Albini curating.

A number of bands have already signed on for the event, and unsurprisingly, Steve's band, Shellac, will likely be headlining. Other notables confirmed thus far include the Fall, Will Oldham, Low, Rachel's, Silkworm, the Shipping News, and Plush. On the success of previous years, the ATP committee has scheduled the festival to happen twice-- April 19th-21st, and April 26th-28th-- with the same lineup for both weekends. One wonders what the sundry bands will do on their five-day break in between the two weekend blowouts.
