Pavement To Curate ATP

Legendary American alt rockers Pavement are due to curate All Tomorrow's Parties in 2010.

All Tomorrow's Parties may well be named after a song by The Velvet Underground, but the event has no more definite act than Pavement.

Formed in the late 80s the band guided underground rock out of the grunge cul de sac with scratchy riffs and a wry, witty sense of humour. A series of classic albums followed as Pavement set about re-defining American rock.

Splitting in 1999, the band's fame has only increased with each passing year. Lead singer Stephen Malkmus has went on to enjoy solo success while guitarist Scott Kannberg has also released acclaimed music.

Recently announcing their reformation, Pavement are due to play four shows in New York's Central Park next September. Causing a stir amongst fans, the news has now been followed by the revelation that Pavement are set to curate and headline ATP.

The band members are familiar with the Camber Sands event, with both Malkmus and Kannberg having performed their several times. Given free rein to book who they wish, Pavement will no be able to play alongside inspirations, contemporaries and more.

Tickets for the weekend event will cost £160 for room only and £170 pp for self-catering. Going on sale this Friday (October 9th) early bird tickets will be available until October 16th - unless they run out.

Pavement are set to curate ATP between May 14th - 16th.
