No Confirmation For ATP Return

There has been no confirmation that boutique All Tomorrow's Parties is returning to Australia next year after the rumour-mill went into overdrive yesterday.

Yesterday Mess+Noise reported that Spencer P Jones leaked the news on stage in Melbourne over the weekend, claiming that the festival will return in February 2013 with the "original" Beasts Of Bourbon line-up set to reform for the occasion. Jones later contacted the site, denying making any such statement.

When contacted by theMusic.com.au, James Adair, manager of Beasts' vocalist Tex Perkins, declined to confirm anything regarding ATP. Instead he highlighted that Perkins is working on the next album with The Dark Horses, which will be out later this year.

Feel Presents' Tim Pittman, who was involved with the critically-acclaimed All Tomorrow's Parties festivals in 2009, told us that he was not working on any potential return for ATP.

Other enquiries to industry members have not been returned.

ATP recently confirmed their company restructure, which we revealed earlier this month. The official statement confirms that the interests of ATP Concert Limited have been transferred to Willwal Limited while the company has been split into three businesses.

"We have many exciting developments and opportunities available to us that will be announced over the coming months," it reads.
