The third edition of ATP's 'I'll Be Your Mirror', held at London's Alexandra Palace, will be curated by Grizzly Bear and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
While some might complain that this year's lineup is slightly less varied than we've previously seen - Portishead roped in GY!BE, PJ Harvey and Company Flow - it's still a mightily impressive bill.
Saturday May 4 will see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs play an exclusive London show, and bring along Swedish loop master The Field and the lo-fi Dirty Beaches. Mick Harvey of The Black Seeds will play a set of Serge Gauinsbourg covers.
The bill for the Saturday will be filled out by Anika, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Black Lips and King Khan And The Shrines.
On the Sunday (May 5) Grizzly Bear will take on curatorial duties and headline the bill. The band will bring with them Tortoise, as well as van Dyke Parks, Real Estate, The Walkmen, I Break Horses and Cass McCombs.
This time last year the I'll Be Your Mirror event saw Slayer performing Reign In Blood alongside Mogwai, who played their only English show of the year.
Grizzly Bear will curate the second day of the event
All Tomorrow's Parties had a hard year in 2012, with the company suffering financial difficulties and many starting to question whether it was safe to book tickets for any of the company's events.
The company will be hoping that this year's events reaffirm the public's trust in them and sees the live music industry begin to florish again.
According to a report at the end of last year the music festival industry will continue to decline in 2013 - at least in the weekender format - but live gigs are generally unaffected.
