![]() If you are planning to come to both December ATP weekends, or wish to stay on after weekend 1 (or come early to weekend 2!) we have limited availability for people to stay on site during the week in between. This will cost £100 per person for the four nights, and is only available as 4 berth self-catering. If you book a 4 berth self-catering apartment for both weekends you will be able to stay in the same apartment. If you have booked other accommodations for weekend 1, you will need move into a 4 berth self-catering from Monday to Thursday or Monday to Monday if you book a 4 berth self catering apartment at weekend 2. To book, please contact feedback@atpfestival.com with IN BETWEEN DAYS in the subject line and include your booking references and the type of accommodation you have booked. All apartments are to be charged at £400 for four people for the four days. People staying can be people who are staying from weekend one, people who are arriving early for weekend two, or people who are not attending either event but wish to come for the week in between. Please note, it is the responsibility of the ticket buyer to ensure the correctly wristbanded persons are sleeping in the apartment at any one time. If you only have 2 people in your party who wish to stay, we can place you in a share-a-chalet for the 4 days with another 2 people, so you don’t have to pay for the empty beds. Please note people who are not attending either of the weekend events but wish to come should contact feedback@atpfestival.com for a full list of terms and conditions. During the week Crazy Horse will be open and we’ll be putting on light entertainment including bands and djs. The line-up will be confirmed very soon! |

If they add Shellac from the second weekend as well then I should just stick to the first weekend plus in between days and then fly home on Friday to catch Merzbow and Zeitkratzer etc at State-X New Forms.... really.

Who knows... I don't see why they wouldn't.
If anything, this means that they won't be in the UK just for the weekend only. |

I think compared to the ATP weekends I saw the most music during the In Between Week, because there was only one stage and barely 100(!) people in attendance... I don't think ATP are ever going to do that again, they must have lost money.
Alexander Tucker's solo set was really good, but I didn't like him much when he played with an orchestra at the 10 Years weekend. Lightning Bolt were awesome, playing off the stage like they should. Dirty Three - hilarilously good. After the first song Warren Ellis decided they were going to play Horse Stories in full. Because Mick Turner didn't know how to play all the songs Ellis borrowed an iPod from someone in the audience to play those bits he didn't know. Fuck Buttons were fun Bardo Pond were MASSIVE. I got lost in their sound and found myself back 45 minutes later. It all went too fast. OM - enjoyed them quite a bit, Lichens brings in a whole new dimension to their music. But still, every time I see them I can't help but missing the old OM. Polvo were very good, much better than I expected them to be. Deerhoof really annoyed the hell out of me, Josh T Pearson put me to sleep (he was better playing electric during the 2nd weekend though), APSE were just meh, Tall Firs presenting Glass Rock were alright, Mum were OK and Growing sucked (I really don't like their new direction, although they were better during the 2nd weekend). The Crispin Glover thing was eh, interesting. I couldn't get much into the slide show, the movie was very weird, although I liked it in a perverse way and the Q&A where he explained the background to the film was very helpful. Still 3 hours was a bit long. |

I don't know why I obsess over costs like this, it's not like I'd ever do anything so foolhardy as actually plan a festival.

At least we saw a few minutes... If it helps, I liked Bardo Pond and The Dirty Three better than Lightning Bolt during the week. |

Some good points. All bands playing were also playing the second weekend (some of them also the first), so most of them were around for the whole week anyway, except for the ones who were playing other dates elsewhere in the UK during that week. But what I heard from one of the girls from the mobile massage stand was that ATP told them they counted on 1000 tickets to be sold. That's A LOT more than there were, so they had fuck all work to do (and they were paid on commission!) I also doubt Butlins made much money on beer sales during the week. Everyone who stayed for the In Between week seemed to have a chalet within 3-4 minutes walking distance from Crazy Horse. With setup times between sets being 30-45 minutes, most people I was hanging out with went back and forth to their chalet to drink. I was drunk every night, but I don't think I bought more than 10 beers at the bar during the whole week and that includes giving two rounds. Yet there were at least 3 people behind at the bar every night (I doubt they get paid a lot though). I do hope they'll do it again though. |

1000 tickets? That really is ambitious. Who has the money for that at Christmas? In the summer, maybe. Well. You're probably right then. The only thing I can think is that they were getting some revenue from the mobile massage stand and did a bit of creative lying.

I don't think money is the problem, probably more getting the time off work/school. For a lot of people it's even cheaper to stay over for 100 pounds than it would be to travel back and forth to where they live. The people I met there were all from Scotland, Manchester, Birmingham, Paris... nobody from Taunton or Weston-super-Mare. I wouldn't be able to fly back and forth for that money and even if I'd gone back and forth to London then the costs of travelling and accomodation would've been a lot more than 100 quid, not to mention the bands I got to see for that money... I don't know, maybe 1000 people is ambitious, but I spoke to a lot of people who'd been up for the whole marathon if it weren't for work/study obligations and the likes. Plus, most ATP visitors have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get to Somerset. Anyway, I had a great time. I don't really care if ATP lost money or made profit from that week. |

It wouldn't surprise me if I was the only person in history from Weston to go to ATP, it really wouldn't.
You'll have to swing through Bristol next time, there's usually a few gigs locally in the run up (Lightening Bolt this year).
