The upcoming All Tomorrow’s Parties festival will take place this year at the Prestatyn Holiday Centre, in the Pontins region of North Wales. The event will be taking place in April of this year from the 22 to the 24 of the month. The lineup includes bands such as The Blind Snake, Drive Like Jehu, The Gories, Holly Golightly, The Spits, Flamin’ Groovies with a special feature from musician Roy Loney.
“Come all ye faithful and be decapitated by guitars and trampled by goodwill. We promise complete rock n roll immersion and at its very essence a celebration of life itself. Subjecting people to our bad tastes is our deep rooted ambition. So, show up or suck eggs,” says John Reis from Drive Like Jehu on the event announcement from the All Tomorrow’s Parties website
All Tomorrow’s Parties is offering accommodations to its guest who are from across the pond or who are from other countries within Europe. The accommodations are located in the back of the Prestatyn Holiday Centre and offer more quiet and yet close locale to the event.
