Get excited
ATP's The Nightmare Before Christmas has got us all doo-lally and desperate to spread JOY and SUNSHINE and, um, sweets.
Herein lies the full line-up, as we have it (although further acts could yet be announced), with stage times. It's like a print-off-and-keep guide to the three-days of rock, hip-hop, and the simply weird.The bands in bold are those that this writer (Mike Diver), at least, would not miss even if there was an eat-all-you-like buffet at La Porchetta pizzeria on Stroud Green Road. Man, that's some fine pizza, too. Just a shame that so many of these awesome acts clash. Best tie my running shoes tight...
