Description
Described as the "ultimate mix tape", All Tomorrow's Parties is a boutique festival that goes against the grain of the larger, more commercial music festivals - with quality and customer experience coming first - presenting award winning sound and acclaimed organisation. Since 2000 it has spread its ethos of uniquely intimate and eclectic events through the UK and onwards to Spain, Australia, Japan and the USA.
ATP is very excited to announce the third All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Iceland on July 2nd, 3rd & 4th 2015 at Ásbrú - the former NATO base in Keflavík - to be headlined by 1999's original Bowlie Weekender curators Belle & Sebastian.

"We very much look forward to playing ATP Iceland. We have very strong connections with ATP, and can't wait to do another AllTomorrow's Parties in one of our favourite places. We loved Camber Sands in 1999, and Minehead in 2010, so to do it in Iceland will be a treat. It's been so long since we played In Iceland. It'll be fantastic. We can't wait!"
- Richard Colburn, Belle & Sebastian
"Each year the event is growing and we are working on a fantastic line up to follow on from the likes of Portishead and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Belle and Sebastian is now our first headliner in what promises to be an exciting third chapter of the ATP Iceland chronicle."
- Barry Hogan, ATP founder
Dates: The festival takes place on three days - Thursday 2nd, Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th July, 2015. The music will run from 7pm to 2am each day (exact times subject to change) with around 30 bands set to play live across the three days.
Location: ATP Iceland will be held at Ásbrú, the former NATO base in Keflavík, Iceland. The former NATO base dates back to 1941 and the last US military personnel left in 2006. The site is located only 5 minutes away from Iceland's main international airport, 15 minutes from the famous Blue Lagoon and 30 minutes from Reykjavík. The festival site will host two indoor stages and a cinema with films picked by ATP and the bands, as well as the usual ATP extracurricular activities like DJs, Pop Quiz and much more. The capacity for the intimate festival is just 5000 people.
Selected press from ATP Iceland 2014:
"This weekend was without a doubt the best music festival I've ever been to"
(KEXP)
"We're still recovering after witnessing the myriad of landmark performances we saw this weekend just past"
(Icelandic Music Export)
"The event, especially in the Icelandic context, really shows itself to be unique among other international festivals"
(Rok)
"I took a walk in downtown Reykjavík earlier today; all I heard was talk of Portishead and ATP. That, I think, is a triumph"
(Iceland Review)
'When it comes to putting on a bloody good festival with some of the most influential bands of all time and the most inventive of new talent, you can't really go wrong with ATP. Putting on a festival in Iceland is just another stroke of genius'
