Clientele, Black Mountain Added to ATP vs. Pitchfork

Egads! That ATP vs. Pitchfork festival we may have mentioned a time or two just keeps on upping its awesomeness quotient.

When things start to heat up May 9-11 at Camber Sands Holiday Centre, near Rye in Sussex County, England, you'll get all the previously-announced hullabaloo, of course. But now we can also add Pitchfork pick the Clientele and new All Tomorrow's Parties selections Black Mountain, Born Ruffians, Howlin Rain, krautrock supergroup Harmonia (doing their second UK gig in a quarter-century), Car Sick Cars, and Even. All that at no additional charge or nothin'!

Which makes the lineup look like so:

Chosen by Pitchfork:

The Clientele
Jens Lekman
A Place to Bury Strangers
Yeasayer

The Hold Steady
Black Lips
Hot Chip
Les Savy Fav
No Age
Of Montreal
Man Man
Los Campesinos!
Caribou
Glass Candy
Dirty Projectors

Chosen by ATP:

Black Mountain
Born Ruffians
Howlin Rain
Harmonia
Car Sick Cars
Even
Redd Kross
Marissa Nadler
Deerhunter
Wooden Shjips
Meat Puppets
The Black Angels
Shit and Shine
Sebadoh
Ween
Pissed Jeans
Fuck Buttons
Apse

As it ever was, passes are £140 and include accommodations at Camber Sands' chalets, which feature private bathroom suites, bars, a swimming pool, restaurants, a supermarket, go-karting, and mini-golf. Tickets for the weekend can be purchased through ATP's website in blocks of four, five, six, seven, or eight.

The subsequent weekend finds Texas post-rockers Explosions in the Sky's wishes coming true at the ATP they've curated. That one takes place May 16-18 at Butlin's Holiday Centre in Minehead, England. Since the last time we checked in on their ATP, Silver Jews, Jens Lekman, Liars, the National, Battles, Sunset Rubdown, De La Soul, Stars of the Lid, Ghostface Killah, Saul Williams, Mono, Lichens, Western Keys, Tony Teardrop, and the Drift have been thrown in the mix.
