curators Yeah Yeah Yeahs, & Grizzly Bear for I'll Be Your Mirror

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Grizzly Bear are this year's curators of I'll Be Your Mirror held in London and both appear as London exclusives.

Saturday curators are New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who will play their first London headline show in four years. The band will be personally handpicking the line-up for their day. So far we can confirm that they will be joined by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Atlanta rockers Black Lips, Anika, Stockholm's The Field, Dirty Beaches, King Khan And The Shrines, and Mick Harvey (The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds) who will play a special set paying tribute to the songs of Serge Gainsbourg. More of Yeah Yeah Yeahs's choices are to be confirmed very soon.

Sunday is headlined by Grizzly Bear playing their largest UK show to date. They will be joined by a full line-up of acts including Beach Boys collaborator Van Dyke Parks, The Walkmen, Tortoise, New Jersey's Real Estate, Sweden's I Break Horses, and Californian singer/songwriter Cass McCombs.

Acting as sister events to the ATP Festivals which usually take place in holiday resorts, and named after the b-side to The Velvet Underground's original All Tomorrow's Parties 7" single, I'll Be Your Mirror started last year as a new series of artist curated music, film and art events taking place in cities worldwide. The new event is held at Alexandra Palace, London on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th May 2013.

Around 35 bands in total are set to play the event across the two days with more acts, DJs, films and other activities to be confirmed for both days in the coming months. For the line-up details as available please click here.

Across the weekend organisers will be bringing to the venue a cinema, food vendors, adding extra bars (including some cash bars) and toilets and also putting on shuttle buses from public transport locations to the venue and back to ensure the best experience possible for everyone that attends.

Weekend tickets will by priced at £110 for both days and £59 for a day ticket for either day. Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Thursday 31st January and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
