ATP Concerts are very pleased to invite one of the most exciting indie success stories of the last decade to curate *the only ATP festival weekend of May 2011*.
Animal Collective's last album Merriweather Post Pavilion was hailed with universal acclaim; 5 Stars from Uncut, 8/10 from NME and a 9.6 from Pitchfork, who also named it their album of the year and put it in their top 20 albums of the decade. ATP promoter Barry Hogan: "I always wondered what kind of mixtape Animal Collective would put together, so we are really stoked that they are climbing into the curating hot seat at Butlins next May where they will headline and curate the festival that includes the likes of Lee Scratch Perry and Gang Gang Dance from an already eclectic mix of 40+ acts."
The first announcements chosen by Animal Collective for the line-up are:
*ANIMAL COLLECTIVE

*EARLY BIRD SPECIALS + GENERAL ON SALE*
We will also be offering a small amount of early bird tickets at a £20 per person discount (£145pp room only and £155pp self catering). These will be available until Friday 5th November (unless they run out first). Also available will be a batch of early bird tickets at a £10 per person discount (early bird £155pp room only, £165pp self catering). These will be available until the following Friday 12th November (unless they run out first).
*INSTALMENT TICKETS*
ATP will again be running a deposit scheme for the festivals to make it easier for some people to pay. We are offering a limited number of 4 berth apartments, both room-only and self-catering to be paid for with a deposit upfront, and the remaining amount to be paid by the end of January 2011.
Both come with a booking fee of £7.50 per person (£30 per apartment). These apartments will be sold at full price; £165 per person room only or £175 per person self catered.
People who would like to hold a 4 berth room only, must pay a deposit of
£65 per person, (£260 for the apartment). The remaining £107.50pp (£430 for the apartment) must be paid by January 30th 2011.
People who would like to hold a 4 berth self catering, must pay a deposit of £75 per person, (£300 for the apartment). The remaining £107.50pp (£430 for the apartment) must be paid by January 30th 2011.
As we will be holding the apartments for you, all deposits will be non-refundable, so please only apply if you are sure you can pay the remaining amount when it is due in January. If you are able to pay through a normal ticket agency upfront for your whole apartment, then please do so and leave the deposit scheme for those people who find it harder to get the full amount together in one go.
You will be required to pay both instalments by either Paypal or cheque.
Please email deposit(at)atpfestival.com with ANIMAL COLLECTIVE in the email subject line if you would like to take part in the deposit scheme. Please
include: your name, address, which type of room you want (room only or self
catering) and which payment method you would like to use (paypal or cheque)=
