- Watch Portishead - 'The Rip'
Portishead have been announced as curators of this year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties’ ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’.
Following in the footsteps of Thurston Moore they will handpick the bands for the event which takes place over the weekend of December 7-9 at Butlins, Minehead.
And to add to the excitement Portishead will actually be one of the bands on the bill and will be making their first full performance of new material in nearly a decade.
Speaking about the news on their site Portishead said: "We have always loved the All Tomorrow's Parties set up and we're happy our first shows will be there."
"It's great to have the opportunity to introduce bands we love or have influenced us. We've chosen a diverse collection of artists to play with us and we're really looking forward to it"
