The much-loved and award-winning ArcTanGent Festival returns this summer and today announces the final acts and artists for 2026. Taking place from 19–22 August at Fernhill Farm near Bristol, the festival is a globally celebrated melting pot of rock, metal, doom, psych, math rock, post-rock, folk-rock, avant-garde and much, much more.
Among the final additions are the phenomenal Kingston rock band Cardiacs, who released their brilliant new album LSD last year to widespread critical acclaim. The band now also features musician Mike Vennart (Oceansize, Vennart, Biffy Clyro).
Also joining the line-up are cult favourites The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, recently reformed and following up last year’s Furnace Fest performance with this slot at ArcTanGent. They are joined by Danish blackgaze band MØL, acclaimed British singer-songwriter A.A. Williams, and Bristol genre-benders Scaler.
There will also be a live silent disco set from the must-see Battlesnake, a first-ever appearance from hotly tipped UK punk outfit Witch Fever, and a welcome return for UK band Youthmovies.
Speaking about the final additions, organiser James Scarlett said:
“Just like that, the ArcTanGent 2026 line-up is complete. Is there a better way to do it than booking highly requested absolute legends Cardiacs, finally securing the Youthmovies reunion we’ve been working on since 2021, and bringing The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza over for their first ever UK show? This has truly been our best-selling year yet and a sell-out festival is on the horizon – so thank you to all the ArcTanGent family for your incredible support. If you haven’t got a ticket yet, don’t sleep on it or risk being sorely disappointed. For everyone who has, we’ll see you in August!”
These newly announced acts add to an already stacked line-up featuring main stage headliners Chelsea Wolfe, Primus and Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas (performing Mariner), alongside Igorrr, Arcane Roots, Sikth, Napalm Death, Perturbator, High on Fire, Maruja, Chat Pile, Alcest, Oathbreaker, Nordic Giants, Agent Fresco, Nothing, TTNG, Eivør, Svalbard, Conjurer, Jamie Lenman, Scorpion Milk, Heck, Pupil Slicer, Alpha Male Tea Party and many more.
