All Tomorrow's Parties Portishead-curated weekend stage times have now been revealed. The Nightmare Before Christmas three day event will take place at Minehead from December 7- 9, and includes performances from Julian Cope, Sparklehorse, Thurston Moore, Om and Black Mountain. Portishead and Aphex Twin are both due to play two shows at the festival, and have both opted to play in Center Stage, as the press release states "so they could perform their sets with no restrictive sound issues due to the bottom end frequencies." This year's Nightmare Before Christmas has seen the capacity cut by 600, to allow fans easier access to see the shows of their choice. The Portishead shows are to be wrist-banded so that all fans are guaranteed entry. At check-in, festival goers can choose a preferred show (Friday or Saturday). Wristbands will be given out on a first come first served basis. However, a note from the event's organisers says if fans have any special circumstances meaning a late arrival to the site, you can contact them to reserve some wristbands. You can contact them at feedback@atpfestival.com with "wristband" in the subject line.
