Following on from last years incredible and sold out (and probably best so far) 10th Anniversary event, the much loved and mighty award winning ARCTANGENT Festival returns this summer, and can today reveal another host of amazing acts for the event.
To kick things off we have TWO more headliners for the festival. Firstly playing their first ever ATG are Norwegian band Wardruna, who will be bringing their Norse musical interpretations and traditions to the festival as our Wednesday night headliners. With this incredible band now in place, the Wednesday for this years Arctangent Festival will be its biggest ever, with more stages open to accomodate, but still no clashes! Then we have the brilliant UK prog rock band Tesseract, who will be returning to ATGand headlining the main stage on the Saturday this year, closing out an intense two year touring period of their album ‘War Of Being’.
Joining them include a group that were supposed to play in 2024 but ended up having to pull out, the mysterious and insanely exciting Clown Core (playing their first ever ATG). Also announced today are Norwegian prog metal band Leprous, stunning danish alternative band Mew (as a UK festival exclusive and one of their last ever performances), French rock 3 piece (par excellencé) Slift, and one of the finest indie rock bands in the world, Arab Strap (playing their first ever ATG, and whose most recent album is a 10/10).
Other artists announced include UK stoner rock band Green Lung (as a UK festival exclusive/playing their first ever ATG), Chicago post-metal (and genuinely world beating) bandPelican, Japanese band Envy (a UK exclusive), and the stunning American singer songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle.
Already announced for this summers main stage are the phenomenal Australian progressive metal band Karnivool, as well as the likes of Melvins (UK festival exclusive), Rolo Tomassi, DVNE and another ATGdebut/festival exclusive Kylesa. There will also be some very special ARCTANGENT Festivalexclusive sets from Between the Buried And Me (who will be performing 2 sets including a ‘Colors’ in full set), The Fall Of Troy (who will be playing ‘Doppelganger’ in full), and We Lost the Sea (playing 2 sets ‘Departure Song’ in full and a hits set).
