Devo are one of the most important and successful post-punk bands and make a rare UK festival appearance for ATP. Legendary stoner rock band Sleep split up in 1998 after releasing two hugely influential albums. Members went on to form underground heroes High On Fire and Om. They reform for two performances at ATP as a world exclusive that will never be repeated.
