Kick out the jams, Jackie-O Motherfucker!
The Thurston Moore-curated Nightmare Before Christmas arm of the All Tomorrow's Parties festivals just got even rawer. Mr. Moore has added the MC5 to the lineup, which already included Sonic Youth, Deerhoof, and a reunited Iggy & the Stooges (with Mike Watt on bass!) And speaking of arms, a press release announces that vocal duties for the legendary Detroit quintet will be handled by Mark Arm of Mudhoney, taking the place of original singer Rob Tyner, who died of a heart attack in 1991.
The reunited band are going by the name dkt/MC5 and will be the act to immediately open for the Stooges, who are probably the only ones who could top them anyway. The other new announcements are Negative Approach, Dead C, Monotract, Prurient, and Ecstatic Peace signees Awesome Color.
The full lineup for the festival, which is set for December 8-10 at the Butlins Holiday Resort in Minehead, Somerset, England, is listed after the jump. Tickets are limited and selling fast, so warm your napalm heart (possibly a bad idea, in the literal sense) and get yours before they run out.
