Portishead to Curate ATP, US Tour Next Fall!

As announced earlier this week, on the weekend of 23rd and 24th July 2011 at the stunning Alexandra Palace, London, All Tomorrow's Parties will present the first UK I'll Be Your Mirror event, which will be curated by the mercurial Portishead (who headline both nights) and ATP. Acting as sister events to the world famous ATP Festivals which usually take place in holiday resorts, and named after the b-side to The Velvet Underground's original All Tomorrow's Parties 7" single, I'll Be Your Mirror will be a new series of artist curated music, film and art events taking place in cities worldwide. Portishead will headline both nights, with a different stunning supporting line-up joining them each day. Tickets will cost £59 per day with weekend tickets priced at £100. These are the only scheduled UK shows Portishead will play in 2011.

We are delighted to confirm that ATP favourites GRINDERMAN will now be performing on Sunday 24th July

At least fifteen acts will perform each day over two stages, and we will bringing a big new soundsystem in so the sound should be the best it's ever been at the venue. Doors open at 12pm, finishing at 1am Saturday and midnight Sunday. Portishead will finish by 11pm both nights.
