ArcTanGent Festival announces first bands for 2024

The award-winning ArcTanGent Festival will be celebrating its 10th year in 2024, and it has revealed the first wave of bands for the event next summer taking place near Bristol between 14-17 August.

ArcTanGent Festival has once again been shortlisted for Best Medium Festival at the Festival Awards (it won best small festival in 2018), and continues to bring together some of the most interesting, diverse, exciting and eclectic bills for any festival, anywhere in the world.

To kick things off, Wednesdays headliner is the magnificent Belfast 4 piece And So I Watch You From Afar, who will be playing a very special, fan voted for set. The band (who incidentally also played the very first ever ArcTanGent Festival), are a festival fan favourite, and one of the most requested repeat booking the festival has ever had.

Joining them include a farewell show from the fabulous (and soon to be much missed) experimental instrumental Three Trapped Tigers, who also played the first ever ATG, US monster moshers Red Fang (with a UK festival exclusive) and the exceptional Australian guitarist, Plini. Also announced includes the much loved UK stoner rock doom band Bossk, dark and heavy Danish band LLNN, Californian rock band Night Verses, Dutch progressive metal from Textures (in a UK exclusive show booking), and a band that we are super excited about Filth Is Eternal the Washington-based hardcore group.

The award-winning ArcTanGent Festival is a green fields music festival that delivers line-ups you won't find anywhere else on Earth. ArcTanGentFestival has built a reputation for itself as THE emerging UK rock festival, both putting on exclusive performances from exceptional, worldwide artists and supporting new, exciting talent. ArcTanGent Festival is a fully independent festival that grows organically year on year.
