Speaking about performing at next year’s festival, MØL says, “having played ArcTanGent two times before we can safely say that it’s one of our favourite festivals and we’re really looking forward to return for round three. The music, the crowd, the atmosphere and the food, ArcTanGent just has it all.”

SLOW CRUSH adds, “we’re all really excited to play ArcTanGent again amidst another killer line up. Torrential rain or not, we had a great time there in 2019, both on and off stage. Happy to be returning with a fresh album!”

In addition to the new batch of bands, for the first time ever, ArcTanGent’s doors will open a day early, with a stacked line-up of bands from 2pm on Wednesday including THE ST PIERRE SNAKE INVASION, SUGAR HORSE, MEMORY OF ELEPHANTS, LUO, MOTHER VULTURE, MODERN RITUALS, MUTANT-THOUGHTS, OLANZA, THE ROAD, MY OCTOPUS MIND, LIGHTNING SHARKS followed by DJs after dark.

“2022 is undoubtedly going to be the biggest ATG yet!” Says James Scarlett. “We are opening our doors from the Wednesday and have a host of amazing bands and DJs. It will mean fans can grab the bet camping spots and also be ready for the bands that run from 11am on the Thursday. It’s been two years without ATG so we are excited to get started!”
