Butlins in Minehead, Somerset, has decided to end their six year relationship with ATP festival.

In reaction to this, ATP will move The National’s December event to its original home – the recently refurbished Pontins holiday camp in Camber Sands, East Sussex, on the same dates this December. The venue is just over an hour’s drive from the London area.

The December line-up features 31 artists, 23 of whom make their UK ATP Festival debuts at the request of our curators The National. It includes: Kronos Quartet / The Antlers / Deerhoof / Owen Pallett / Michael Rother presents the music of Neu! & Harmonia / Menomena / Kurt Vile & The Violators / Perfume Genius / Sharon Van Etten / Bear In Heaven / Youth Lagoon / Mark Mulcahy (Miracle Legion) / My Brightest Diamond / Wye Oak / Kathleen Edwards / Lower Dens / Hauschka / Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire) / Megafaun / Suuns / Dark Dark Dark / Buke and Gase / This Is The Kit / So Percussion / Hayden and more.

The event will feature around 40 live acts playing across the weekend on the venue’s excellent indoor stages featuring award winning sound, as well as DJs until late, Cinema and Book Club both curated by The National, and much more! Tickets include accommodation in private apartments for you and your friends – tickets must be booked in groups of 2-8 people. Many accommodation options are now sold out with limited tickets remaining.

All original ticket bookings remain valid, and refunds will be available until the end of June for those who no longer wish to attend following this change. And the last few remaining tickets for the event went on sale via www.atpfestival.com last week.
