All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All Tomorrow's Parties is a music festival which takes place in the United Kingdom at Minehead holiday camp in Somerset (up until late 2006, the festival took place at Camber Sands holiday camp in East Sussex). Named after a song by The Velvet Underground, it was founded by Barry Hogan in 1999 as an alternative to the other festivals like Reading or Glastonbury, with a tendency towards post-rock, avant-garde, and underground hip hop, along with more traditional rock fare, but presented in an environment more intimate than a giant stadium or huge country field. The festival has its origins in the Bowlie Weekender, curated by Belle & Sebastian at the same UK venue in April 1999. Artists, usually musicians, but sometimes visual artists like Matt Groening or Vincent Gallo, are asked to curate the festival (a two-day or three-day event), inviting their favourite performers to play. The idea is that it is akin to dipping into the curator's record collection, or as Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth described it, "It's the ultimate mix tape".
