Legendary post-rock outfit, Slint are set to reunite for the upcoming ‘End of an Era’ All Tomorrow’s Parties festival.

ATP have today announced that the American band, who parted ways in 1992 before a handful of live dates in 2005 (also for an ATP event) and 2007, will play the Loop leg of the two scheduled events.

ATP founder, Barry Hogan said on the booking:

“I’ll never forget the first time I heard ‘Spiderland’. It’s one of those records that changed my life and even inspired me to reform the band in 2005 by flying to Louisville, and bringing all the original members together for the first time in 13 years. ‘Spiderland’ still excites me now as much as the first time I heard it. To say we are fortunate to have this incredibly influential band play the final ATP is a huge understatement.”

The fest will take place between 29 November – 1 December in Pontins, Camber Sands. Buy tickets for that here.
