Thurston, Boris, Ladytron Join Portishead ATP Fest

As well as Sparklehorse, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Julian Cope
Thurston, Boris, Ladytron Join Portishead ATP Fest The Portishead-curated, All Tomorrow's Parties-hosted Nightmare Before Christmas fandango keeps getting fly-er, as big papa Thurston Moore, Japanese guitar heroes Boris, liquid cool Ladytron, glimmer-man Sparklehorse, cut-ups A Hawk and a Hacksaw, that Julian Cope fella, and a couple others have been added to a pretty fly bill that already includes Aphex Twin, Black Mountain, Oneida, Earth, and Portishead themselves.

Indeed, the mere notion of a possible Boris/Thurston onstage collaboration is enough to make us wanna fly to England and camp out on the beach 'til wintertime (although Mr. Moore is listed as performing "solo", so we'll take care not to raise our hopes too high). And with plenty more acts still to be announced, we're writing up our two weeks' notice now. Later, boss!

Portishead's Nightmare Before Christmas goes down December 7-9 at Butlins Holiday Centre in Minehead, England. Any outstanding pay should be forwarded accordingly.
