The Animal Collective will be curating ATP at Butlins in Minehead which runs from 13th – 15th May 2011.
Animal Collective's most recent album Merriweather Post Pavilion was hailed with universal acclaim; 5 Stars and album of the year in Uncut, 5 stars and album of the year in The Sunday Times, album of the year in MOJO, 8/10 in NME and a 9.6 from Pitchfork, who also named it their album of the year and put it in their top 20 albums of the decade.
ATP promoter Barry Hogan said: "I always wondered what kind of mixtape Animal Collective would put together, so we are really stoked that they are climbing into the curating hot seat at Butlins next May where they will headline and curate the festival that includes the likes of Lee Scratch Perry and Gang Gang Dance from an already eclectic mix of 40+ acts."
