I'm surprised no-one's mentioned this yet!
According to Sticky Carpet it's on in January this year. Nick Cave rumoured to be curating.
Did a quick google but from this website it looks like it might be in Jan and in both Melbourne and Sydney.
This is very exciting. Anyone know anything more about this?

not until you just posted it. fuckin great news!
i can't see any mention of it on that blog
awesome.
any mention of actual locations?
me neither
It's not on the blog. It's in the link I posted. Scroll down and you find!
It said in Sticky Carpet that they will still waiting to confirm a location.
fucking nick cave, always with the nick cave i can pretty much imagine the line up now
**2 Person Show
Presented by All Tomorrow's Parties
Melbourne & Sydney, Australia
January 2009/ dates and locations TBA
that's all it's got.
oh got it now. fuck, ace!
ski fields surely, the beach would be too exe in summer.
Do ATP tie in visual artist exhibitions with their festivals / concerts?
I went to ATP this year and they had a small exhibition space. This artist's creations were on sale there. I think they had the small toys that are in the pic on this site, as well as her designs on some t-shirts.
my bloody valentine, please.
ski fields is a good call, i've heard that idea being bashed around by people in the know ATP related types. it'll be interesting going to an 'inaugural' one rather than something more established where the kinks have been ironed out.
newsflash - Barry Hogan and Helen Cottage are NOT AUSTRALIAN! Deborah Kee Higgins is.
Does anyone fact check at The Age anymore, or is it all just random speculation?
really bugs me
Didn't ATP present the Don't Look Back gigs earlier this year? Which means this isn't necessarily a festival.
9-11 Jan, at Mt Buller apparently.
i heard the same this arvo. press release has apparently gone out. i didn't get it. off the mailing list!
I reckon they should use the Mt Buffalo Chalet, it's not been inhabiated of a few years- creepy and classy!!

Who gives a shit, it's not happeneing.
Care to share what you know?
No, ok.
that aint their excuse. they said the ski season has eaten into their prep time (i don't really understand that either). their main concern was logistical issues, which folks have been talking about at length already in this thread over the last 6 months - most of the chatter seems to have disappeared though.
Did you notice that post that sentence it said ''also''? More importantly maybe focus on this sentence ''have decided to take a year off in an attempt to find solutions to the logistical issues with holding the event in such unique surrounds''.
If only you had a vague idea about what those organisers went through and are still going through to put that on, rather than spouting rubbish on here.
What do you want to know? I'll tell you there were logistical issues associated with holding an event in such unique surrounds. That OK?
I was gutted by this news. Was so looking forward to some more January magic atop Buller.
Oh well maybe I'll just go up to Buller and sit on Bourke St with my iPod playing MBV and Swervedriver.
Bring on 2011!
Thanks.
I do have a vague idea, as I worked with them last year, but yes, no excuse to go 'spouting rubbish'
Yea Tee Pee isn't going to go so well because of this.
Thats what I'm really pissed about.
thought you meant bourke st mall for a second then...
Being a volunteer to get a free ticket isn't quite the same thing, but anyway.
Quite the same thing as what?
We needs a new thread. This one's eatin' posts.
Just tell him, VoxFuzz.
Pffft. Being squashed by trams is nowhere near as much fun.
Thread is eating posts. New thread?
Also, fucken!
now that we know that the venue is free, anyone wanna bring up a generator and a couple of guitar amps?
then all we need is British India and we've got ourselves a fucken festival.
Ok, Ok, seen as though no one is going to tell ya'll the REAL story, I will.
ATP had Michael Jackson booked in to curate.
I was hoping they'd hold an ATP in Adelaide at Mt Thebarton.
They're not that stupid
come see the ATP film at MIFF - it's excellent!
