The vast majority of the lineup for 2021’s ArcTanGent Festival has been revealed!

After the festival, like every other major event on the planet, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, now, ArcTanGent have announced the vast majority of the lineup for 2021’s festival when, hopefully, things will have returned to normal.

CULT OF LUNA have been announced as one of the festival’s three main stage headliners, joining Swedish progressive giants OPETH (who were announced back in May), whilst British prog heroes TESSERACT, a reformed MAYBESHEWILL, a much anticipated return form the wonderful OATHBREAKER, a double full album slot from ROLO TOMASSI (who will be playing both Grievances and Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It in full over two sets), and more will perform across the festival weekend in August next year!

Speaking about the huge announcement, festival organiser James Scarlett says, “I’m so stoked on the line up at ArcTanGent. It’s a mix of some of my favourite live bands, from the legends in OPETH and JAGA JAZZIST to the brain melting insanity of returning heroes THE LOCUST to some of the best underground heavy bands on the planet as well as AMENRA, ROLO TOMASSI and JAMIE LENMAN plus the return of the mighty OATHBREAKER for what is likely to be their only show of 2021. Excited isn’t the word! To say the least, 2020 has obviously been a bit of a nightmare for everyone so we really wanted to bring some joy and some guitars to people’s lives. I’m so proud of the line up we’ve put together and can’t wait to see everyone at Fernhill Farm in August 2021. See you all then!”
