All Tomorrow’s Parties has announced Bristolians, Portishead and American Rockers, Interpol as the first headliners for ATP Iceland 2014. Neither band has performed in the country before, and ATP Iceland is reported to be ‘very happy’ to be the first to bring them over for the intimate, 5000 capacity event which takes place in Keflavík from 10th to 12th July 2014.
ATP founder Barry Hogan explained “Portishead have a rich history and close relationship with us, which started with them curating ATP back in 2007 after a long live-hiatus and being the first ever curators for the I’ll Be Your Mirror series. Interpol on the other hand, while being long-time ATP favourites, have never played the event, and it’s an exciting prospect that the eagerly awaited second Icelandic ATP will be their first.”
Portishead will headline the three day festival on Friday July 11th and Interpol headline on Saturday the July 12th and will be supported by Icelandic acts Sóley, For a Minor Reflection, Samaris, Low Roar, and Mammút. Many more international and Icelandic acts will be revealed over the coming weeks.
