Butlins here we come! The mighty Swedish troubadour Jens Lekman has been invited by both Pitchfork and Explosions In The Sky to play their All Tomorrow’s Parties festivals next year, which will take place on May 9-11 at Camber Sands and May 16-18 at Minehead respectively.
It hasn’t been confirmed whether Lekman will be joined by his backing band or not but it’s rather exciting all the same. Jens will join an already stellar line-up of acts lined up for the festivals, including The Hold Steady, Los Campesinos!, Broken Social Scene, Iron & Wine and Meat Puppets. I wonder if they have a bingo hall at either venue? Surely the obvious choice for a Lekman show..
For full line-ups, ticket information and availabilty head on over to the ATP site. We caught up with Jens a couple of months ago to chat about his new album Night Falls Over Kortedala, read the interview in full here.
