Modest Mouse to make UK festival return

United Kingdom | | 20 December 2006

US noise muffins Modest Mouse have been added to the lineup for the second All Tomorrow's Parties event of next year, their first UK festival date in nearly three years...

The Denver four-piece will take to the stage at the forthcoming ATP Vs The Fans weekender, joining the likes of Echo and the Bunnymen, Sparklehorse, Shellac and fellow north-westerners Built To Spill.

The event, which invites festival goers to help select the lineup, takes place at Butlins, Minehead, from 18-20 May, 2007.

As well as Modest Mouse, Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies and The Books have just been added to the lineup.

Modest Mouse last played festivals in 2004 on the back of their album 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News', performing at Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds and All Tomorrow's Parties.

There is no news of any new material on their website.
