Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, is to curate a British music festival next year.

The Portland cartoonist will choose all of the artists playing the All Tomorrow's Parties festival held at Butlins Holiday Centre, Minehead between 7-9 May.

Bands for the event are yet to be confirmed but tickets for the weekender go on sale on Friday 16 October.

As previously reported, reunited Californian cult rockers Pavement will also curate a version of the festival the following weekend, 14-16 May.

Groening has previously curated the US version of the holiday camp festival in California back in 2003.
