Were the ticket prices for the New York incarnation of the ATP Festival a little too steep for you? If so, help is at hand. WFMU has announced that it will be broadcasting many of the sets from this weekend’s ATP, which begins on Friday with a number of performances in the “Don’t Look Back” series. Those sets won’t be broadcast, but WFMU has secured the rights to transmit numerous sets from Saturday and Sunday’s lineups.
My Bloody Valentine are yet to agree to the broadcast, so don’t hold your breath waiting to hear their set. But the good news is that Mercury Rev, Polvo, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr., and
Lightning Bolt are among the bands who will be playing live on WFMU. The WFMU website promises that further additions will be made to their lineup, so if you’re homebound this weekend then keep checking their
blog. Tickets for ATP are still on sale, and can be purchased
here. The initial lineup of artists set to be broadcast live from ATP are listed below. [
