ATP confirms Nightmare Before Christmas additions
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver August 1st, 2008

ATP's Nightmare Before Christmas weekender - scheduled for December 5-7 at Minehead's Butlins holiday camp - has seen its bill swell again.

Added to the line-up - co-curated by Mike Patton and the Melvins - are Squarepusher (pictured) and the reformed (in their original 'classic' guise) Butthole Surfers.

Squarepusher hasbeen selected by Ipecac head-honcho and former Faith No More vocalist Patton, whose Fantômas group will perform their The Director's Cut LP in full at the annual winter event; the Buttholes come your way courtesy of those lovely Melvins men.

Also recently added to the already impressive bill are Mastodon, The Dirtbombs, Farmers Market and JG Thirwell's Manorexia (ex-Foetus).

Find tickets here, but be fast: two- and three-berth chalets are already sold out at certain outlets. The line-up in full, so far:

_ Curated by Melvins_

DiScuss: Shaping up nicely, as expected, no? Have you got your ticket yet? Who would you love to see added? Me, I've my fingers crossed for Dillinger Escape Plan - with Patton there, the show would be immense.
