Yeah Yeah Yeahs curate ATP 2006

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Shins and Mudhoney are amongst the bands that have been lined up to curate next year's All Tomorrows Parties at Camber Sands. Plus details of ATPs Nightmare Before Christmas 2005.

Fast becoming a heavyweight fixture in the UK festival calendar, All Tomorrows Parties returns next year for the weekends of May 12 -14 and May 19 â€" 21. And, as has become the custom, each of the six days will be curated by a different band or artist.

The first weekend will see grunge survivors Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Jon Spencer and his Blues Explosion picking the acts, while the second weekend will see Sleater-Kinney, The Shins and Ween take the driving seat.

Going under the banner of 'The United Sounds of ATP' this all sounds very cool. But once again means the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are out and about and not in the studio completing their second album. Please do hurry up…

Before that, there's ATPs annual Christmas shindig, A Nightmare Before Christmas, curated this year by The Mars Volta.

For this Rocking Camber Sands holiday camp from December 2 â€" 4 2005 will be hosting a wide array of The Volta's favourite acts. Highlights include Mercury Prize winner Antony And The Johnsons, The Kills, Dungen, The Locust and the unbelievably heavy Mastodon.
