Rock festival ArcTanGent is returning in 2027 between the 19th and 21st of August, and they’ve just announced their first wave of artists. On the main stage, post-metal band Neurosis will be heading over from Oakland, California, making a return to playing live shows. Also on the main stage, progressive death metal band Blood Incantation will be performing.
UK band The Wildhearts will also be playing an exclusive progressive set for the festival, while French rock band Slift, UK-based Conjurer, German post-metal band The Ocean, Danish black-gaze band Møl, UK metal band Employed to Serve and Italian doom metal band Messa will also be performing.
This year marks a time of change for the iconic festival as they will be moving to a new site, Todenham Manor Farm, near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. The new Cotswolds site will be the perfect spot for all those genres to collide.
ArcTanGent festival and booker James Scarlett says, “There’s no better way to kickstart the new chapter of ArcTanGent, for the first year at our new location in the Cotswolds, than with two of our most requested headliners. Both bands are absolutely solid gold headliners – anyone that listens to 2 Promoters, 1 Pod will likely be sick of hearing me wax lyrical about the new Neurosis album. To have them along with Blood Incantation – a band it’s frankly criminal they haven’t played before – is the dream way to kick off a new edition of ArcTanGent. We’re also unleashing the vast majority of our Wednesday line-up, bringing back some of the most exciting acts from previous years. There are a lot of bands here that stood out with huge crowds in 2026, so we’re stoked that they want to return and help us kick off the early entry day of ATG 2027. As always, this announcement is simply a list of artists I’m extremely excited about from top to bottom and can’t wait to watch live at our new Cotswolds home.”
