PUPIL SLICER adds, ArcTanGent was the first music festival I ever attended and was instrumental in my love of music. The scope of bands ATG brings together across so many genres has been hugely inspirational for the direction of PUPIL SLICER. It has been our dream to play ATG ever since we started the project and are honoured to be a part of this event alongside many fantastic bands that we look up to.” And Brett Campbell of PALLBEARER says, “we are excited to announce that we will be playing among the incredible array of atmospheric and progressive bands at next year’s ArcTanGent!”
