[sonofhal]

Just to jump the gun a little.

Portishead and ATP will be curating a new festival at Alexandra Palace next July (23rd and 24th). Tix go on sale friday.

No link yet as it hasn't been officially announced.

Oh, and hi! It's been a while.

[suprefan]

Hi, long time.

[captncrzy]

If we come, can someone put us up?

I'm being serious here on this one.

[heart cooks brain]

Does this mean Portishead is/will be done with LP4 and possibly playing real shows?(suprefizzle need not respond)

[fikus222]

Hot diggity.

Yes.

[captncrzy]

Thanks Chris. We don't want to intrude so I just booked us a hotel room at the Raglan (less than a mile away) for about 90 pounds a night (we may bring my daughter with us). We're totally DOING THIS!

[sonofhal]

No probs.

It'll be nice to see something at Alexandra Palace in the summer. I always seem to catch shows up there when it is icy cold.

[captncrzy]

I'm so excited I can barely stand it.

PORTISHEAD live shows

24 Nov 2010

PORTISHEAD confirm "I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR" Curated by PORTISHEAD & ATP
23rd & 24th July - Alexandra Palace, London


On the weekend of 23rd and 24th July 2011 at Alexandra Palace, London, All Tomorrow's Parties will present the first UK I'll Be Your Mirror event, which will be curated by Portishead and ATP.

Acting as sister event to ATP Festivals 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 supporting line-up joining them each day. Tickets will cost £59 per day with weekend tickets priced at £100. At this point these are the only UK shows Portishead plan to play in 2011, and you can get early bird tickets at reduced prices here

[captncrzy]

Tix are on sale now. Tried to buy but realized they don't take AMEX. Waiting for the husband to purchase on a VISA. Early bird 2 day passes are 90.

[shakermaker113]

for two portishead headline sets, plus whoever else plays. damn.

I wonder how (if) this is supposed to differ from other ATP festivals.

Well, you don't stay there. That's different.

Ticket bought, so I'm in.

[captncrzy]

We're having an issue buying tix. Credit card being declined. THinking maybe because it's an American card but not sure.

[TheUnderworld]

pay off your debts

[J~$$$$]

90 bucks is great deal for a really good lineup.

[captncrzy]

Still can't get card to work; bank is saying everything is fine on their end so not sure. Going to call and order by phone.

"Portishead plan to play in Europe in June/July and the US during September/October - as plans are confirmed news will be posted here first so keep checking the news page."

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Boy, I am really curious what's going on with two separate Portishead sets within the same weekend.

[shakermaker113]

why?

[dorkfish]

Boy, I am really curious what's going on with two separate Portishead sets within the same weekend.

They played two (identical) sets last time they curated an ATP event in 2007.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

why?

Because it could mean something really special, potentially?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

They played two (identical) sets last time they curated an ATP event in 2007.

Oh. That's fucking lame.

[captncrzy]

May not go now that we know there will be US dates.

[shakermaker113]

They played two (identical) sets last time they curated an ATP event in 2007.

they also did two sets at primavera 2008. not sure how identical they were.

[dorkfish]

they also did two sets at primavera 2008. not sure how identical they were.

Primavera sets were identical as well. Same set as the ATP shows, but they dropped Only You for Threads or another song.

[sonofhal]

One Primavera set was outside with horrendous soundbleed from Boris. The other was in the all seated indoor Auditori and was pretty fucking ace.
