ATP NYC, the first-ever, begins today

The first-ever ATP NY happened back in 2008, but up in the Catskills. That lasted three glorious years before moving to Asbury Park last year. Asbury Park was also great, but wasn’t in the cards for 2012 so ATP moved the festival to NYC where it happens THIS WEEKEND at Pier 36 (you can see the location in the map above). Today’s schedule looks like this:

Friday 21st September
Festival opens – 6.00pm

Stage 1:
Lightning Bolt – 8.30pm-9.00pm
Lee Ranaldo And Leah Singer Edan The Dee Jay – 9.15pm-10.15pm
Philip Glass And Tyondai Braxton – 10.45pm-11.15pm
Frank Ocean – 11.45pm-1.00am

Stage 2:
Kurt Braunholer – 7.05pm-7.25pm
Hannibal Buress – 7.30pm-7.55pm
Janeane Garofalo – 8.00pm-8.30pm

Films On Queen Of Hearts:
Koyaanisqatsi – 8.00pm
Quadrophenia – 10.00pm (featuring the brand new surround mix made by the Who)
+ Edan The Dee Jay

Poor Kurt B. And hopefully that 30 minute break between Glass and Ocean is enough time for the awkward changeover to happen. I mean, I love Frank and Philip, but I’m afraid that A LOT of Frank fans will be showing up just for his set, and many of them will have very little interest in the rest of the lineup, especially music you need to be very quiet during. Check out the full, three-day SCHEDULE. Get your TICKETS (THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR).

UPDATE: Lee Ranaldo has been replaced by Edan (a DJ who is also DJing later in the film room). We also recently found out Chavez was replaced by JEFF the Brotherhood on Saturday.
