The Nightmare Before Christmas

Held at Butlins in Minehead, Somerset. Last year’s carnivalesque pre-Christmas frenzy curated by Melvins and Mike Patton was a runaway success but this year’s looks to surpass even their impressive achievement mark. Curators My Bloody Valentine have already amassed Sonic Youth, Sun Ra Arkestra, The Horrors, De La Soul and E.P.M.D. for the Butlins bash which has subsequently prompted sell-outs of several chalet options months in advance. If you want to get in on the act, do it now.
