"We are very sorry we could not make this work and have tried to survive throughout all our recent losses but we are no longer able to trade and have to accept we cannot go on.

Thank you to all our loyal customers who have supported us and incredible artists who have performed or curated for us over the years and made ATP so special while it lasted."

About fucking time. They've screwed over so, so many artists and fans in recent years yet continued to put things on, despite most of them ending up cancelled. Good of Barry to finally get a reality check and realise that it's just not viable.

One of the best gigs I ever witnessed, Wolves in the Throne Room, Melvins, Sleep and Slayer (with encore of Reign In Blood from beginning to end). Death Grips were also scheduled to play!!! (yes sir) but blew out at the last minute (bastards).

Whoever organised that day did a fantastic job. Sterling work.
