Having wrapped up 2011 with a week-long string of New York City dates, the National will curate and perform at this year's All Tomorrow's Parties set for Butlins Holiday Centre, Minehead, England from December 7-9.

The first batch of artists confirmed includes the Antlers, Sharon Van Etten, Kronos Quartet, Boris, Tim Hecker and Owen Pallett. Wye Oak, My Brightest Diamond, Lower Dens, Megafun, Suuns, Dark Dark Dark and Buke and Gase rounds out the initial list.

The band -- who will make its lone British 2012 performance at ATP -- made the announcement earlier this morning on its site.
