Belle and Sebastian To Curate ATP’s Bowlie 2

Belle and Sebastian To Curate ATP's Bowlie 2

The year was 1999. Belle and Sebastian had just released their Boy With the Arab Strap album the previous year and were beginning work on their next record, Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant. On top of all this, Stuart Murdoch and crew found time to throw a little party and invite their friends to their Bowlie Weekender. The weekend took place in April 1999 and included pals like The Flaming Lips, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sleater-Kinney, Camera Obscura, Teenage Fanclub, and The Pastels.

Now, 11 years later, Belle and Sebastian have been asked to create a second installment of Bowlie Weekender, this time as part of December’s All Tomorrow’s Parties. Bowlie 2, scheduled for December 10-12 at Butlins Holiday Centre in England, will be part of ATP’s 10th-anniversary year-long celebration that also features weekends curated by Matt Groening and Jim Jarmusch, featuring full-album performances by Iggy and the Stooges and Suicide. It is not known yet who will be performing for ATP’s Bowlie Weekender II, but you can at least count on Belle and Sebastian headlining one of the nights. Stay tuned for a TMT update once more information arises, including forthcoming album info for Belle and Sebastian’s new album.
