21 more bands have been confirmed for ArcTanGent Festival!

It seems that Spring is finally here and as the weather get warmer, festival season is getting closer by each passing day. And now, 21 more bands have been confirmed for this year’s ArcTanGent Festival! Leading the charge in today’s announcement is CONJURER, OHHMS, PLINI, MØL and MOUSE ON THE KEYS. Most interesting however, is that PIJN and CONJURER have been confirmed to perform a special collaboration titled CURSE THESE METAL HANDS.

Speaking about the day’s announcement, festival organiser James Scarlett says, “today we’re announcing 21 bands and I’m excited that this adds a real strength in depth to the ATG line up. What am I most excited about? Well we’ve commissioned PIJN & CONJURER to work together on a top secret project– I’m certain it will be amazing. Also Taka from MONO is bringing his Behind the Shadow Drops project which features some truly spell-binding visuals. Everyone should head straight to our Spotify playlist now and check out the treats we have in store for themselves – my personal recommendations are JEAN JEAN, MØL and BLACK FUTURES. Roll on the summer!” CONJURER adds, “when ATG & Holy Roar approached us to do a collaboration, it was something that hadn’t really occurred to either band. We’d played a few shows together and were certainly mutual fans but we had to sit down and really think about whether this was feasible. After a pretty intense 12 hours of jamming and writing, we emerged with a track that will form the basis of our performance with the rest currently being written. This sounds nothing like either band and is arguably more expansive and ambitious than either of us have gone before – we’re honoured to have been asked to contribute to ATG 2018 and are excited to bring something new to the most exciting festival in the UK.”
