Festival News: ARCTANGENT FESTIVAL announces 7 bands as its 'Advent Calendar'
With the most recent announcement to the ATG line-up, This festival just keeps pushing the boundaries. Over the years, many rising and prestigious bands have dominated the stages at ArcTangent and this year, things just turned up to 11.
With the recent addition of HEILUNG, who bring their blend of experimental folk music, which is strongly based of runic inscriptions and text from many historic ages of the past and CONVERGE, the legendary American hardcore punk band, bringing their chaotic & innovative brash riffs back to ATG as top of the bill headliners, they will bring their two opposing genres together to unite everyone under the mainstage. Other acts such as PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS, Pupil Slicer, Birds in Row, And so I watch you from afar, Russian Circles, Brutus and the almighty DEAFHEAVEN (Performing Sunbather in full) among the stacks of other bands on this already immense and dynamic line-up, we can’t wait to what else is due for future announcements.
This is one of the most exciting announcements so far from a UK festival underdog, we are so excited. DON’T MISS OUT!
