ATP Release The Bats Reveal Festival Set Times

For those lucky patrons who have tickets to the completely sold out ATP Release The Bats festival next Saturday 26 October, it's time to get the highlighters out, organisers unveiling the set times today.

Punters have a choice between the stage one at The Palais and the second stage at the Prince Bandroom, both opening doors from about midday and rocking until ten or eleven pm.

ATP Release The Bats brags a pretty sweet lineup including Television performing their Marquee Moon record in full, The Breeders performing their landmark LP Last Splash in full, Sleep.
