All Tomorrow's Parties

All Tomorrow's Parties is a music festival which takes place in the United Kingdom and the United States. Artists, usually musicians, are invited to curate the festival, a two-day or three-day event, inviting their favourite performers to play. The idea of this is that it is akin to dipping into the curator's record collection, or having them make a mixtape for the audience.
