DEVO to headline ATP Festival at Butlins Minehead in May'09??

The most unlikely unbelievable post I've puut on this blog but I've stumbled across a message today and then a subsequent website that DEVO are indeed returning to these shores next year.

However, instead of playing the established venues, they are the headliners of an All Tomorrow's Parties weekend at .... wait for it ... Butlins in Minehead!!!!


The official poster is above and the festival website can be found below:

I have asked the DEVO gurus for confirmation as nothing has been confirmed, or hinted, via any forum, official website or those closest to the group.
It should, however, be remembered that the 2007 UK tour was announced on websites long before DEVO themselves acknowledged or confirmed it.
Still, a minimum £300 for 2 to spend a weekend in Butlins - of all places - is off-putting even if it's an hour from my home. Hioping I can buy a day ticket and that there are other UK dates in the pipleline.
Exciting news though!!!

What £650 for our family. MAD it is so crap. Saw them last year ,just GREAT. Can't believe we won't be able to see the spuds again. I just hope they don't sell enough tickets and have to sell single day tickets!!!!
