Adding to a line up that already includes main stage headliner Opeth, the outside Bristol based, award winning ArcTanGent Festival can today announce a very exciting further collection of bands and artists for this years event.
Emerging from the New York No Wave scene, the incredible Swans will be playing ArcTanGent for the very first time, bringing their post-punk, industrial, noise-rock to Fernhill Farm.
Joining them will be Californian grindcore legends The Locust,
who will be playing their first UK show in over 5 years at the
festival. Also making a long awaited return will be much loved and
hugely impressive Belgian four piece
Oathbreaker, whose show at ArcTanGent is a UK exclusive performance.
Also announced includes Canadian punks Metz, experimental instrumental Leicester 5 piece

Leprous and the incredibly impressive Icelandic rock band

ATG Festival organiser James Scarlett – “I’m so
ridiculously excited about this announcement that it’s difficult to know
where to start! I’m particularly hyped for Oathbreaker, The Locust and
Maybeshewill, all of whom I thought might be
gone for good. And we’ve also got Converge’s Jacob Banon back at
Fernhill Farm with Wear Your Wounds plus the epic awesomeness of a 90
minute Swans Main Stage set will be incredible. I cannot wait! Word to
the wise, we’re not increasing our capacity this year
so tickets will sell out!”
“It’s been years since The Locust returned to the UK so we are
tickled pink to play ArcTanGent! We’ve known for a while now that the
world is fucked but before our species ends itself there are still
epiphanies and solace to be had whilst the soundtrack
to life on a fucked timeline continues.” – Bobby Bray, The Locust
