ATP is one of our favourite festivals. Exciting bands, holiday camp chalets, liver damage and fry ups combine to make a great couple of weekends.

Times New Viking (last.fm page / myspace page) and Jay Reatard (last.fm page / myspace page) will be joining the bill, and what a bill it is. Read on for the full lineup and event details.
