"Lust For Life" by Iggy Pop - Official Video:
The inimitable Iggy Pop will play his first solo shows in a decade, performing classic hits from Lust for Life and The Idiot. Drive Like Jehu, who last year played their first show in almost 20 years, can claim to be one of the most seminal and influential artists of recent time and of course famously feature members of Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes and Obits. Their ATP Iceland 2015 appearance will be the only place you can see them live at a European festival this summer. Elsewhere, Ólafur Arnalds’ much lauded home grown techno project Kiasmos will grace the main stage.

Further announcements to be made early 2015
ATP founder Barry Hogan: ''The legendary Iggy Pop, coupled with the return of ATP favourites Drive Like Jehu and all the amazing stuff already announced surely makes the pilgrimage to Iceland a no brainer.''
ATP Iceland will be held at Ásbrú, the former NATO base in Keflavík, Iceland. The former NATO base dates back to 1941 and the last US military personnel left in 2006. The site is located only 5 minutes away from Iceland's main international airport, 15 minutes from the famous Blue Lagoon and 30 minutes from Reykjavík. The festival site will host two indoor stages and a cinema with films picked by ATP and the bands, as well as the usual ATP extracurricular activities like DJs, Pop Quiz and much more.
Details of the curator(s) of the ever-popular cinema schedule will be announced soon, as well as info of the food & drink element of the festival that brings so much happiness to attendees each year, as they devour some Icelandic food between bands.
