ArcTanGent Festival has announced its biggest ever band announcement, as we gear up for its tenth year.
Among the bands added today are the acclaimed Scottish band Mogwai, who will be making their ArcTanGent festival debut.
Explosions In The Sky, Clown Core and Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Ihsahn have also been added to the lineup for ArcTanGent, which will be taking place near Bristol between August 14 and 17.
And given this is the festival’s biggest-ever announcement, there are obviously plenty more names added to the billing, including stoner/doom metal band Electric Wizard, Belgian post-metal outfit Amenra, Julie Christmas, Caspian, Delta Sleep, Show Me The Body and psych-rock band Bo Ningen.
They add to a festival lineup that previously announced Meshuggah and And So I Watch You From Afar as headliners.
Discussing the new additions to the festival’s lineup, organiser and booker James Scarlett has said:
“As we’re celebrating 10 years of ArcTanGent we made a list of the bands that have never played that we’ve always wanted to make it more special than ever, and naturally Mogwai were top of that list.
“We’re over the moon to also be bringing the likes of Electric Wizard and Clown Core to their first ever ATG. We weren’t lying when we said our 10th year is going to be the biggest ATG ever – it’s going to be biblical!”
