ArcTanGent reveal first 2021 headliner and launch crowd funder

ArcTanGent have revealed the first headliner for 2021’s festival!

After having to postpone 2020’s edition of the festival due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, now, the festival have confirmed the first headliner for 2021’s event; Swedish prog metal maestros OPETH.

“We’re very excited to announce that OPETH will be at ArcTanGent 2021 as our Main Stage Saturday night headliner,” says festival booker, James Scarlett. “They are the biggest band we had booked for 2020 so it felt like a good way to let people know our intentions for next year are equally big, if not bigger! A little bit of inside info is that ATG 2021 will feature loads of the 2020 bands with some amazing extras on top. Watch this space!”

Alongside announcing OPETH as a headliner, the festival has also launched a crowd funder where fans can obtain some great products, cash back, name and sponsor a stage of your choosing and even have a film made about your 2021 festival experience!

“Today we’ve launched an ArcTanGent crowd funder with some amazing rewards for our fans and supporters. As people are already aware, due to the COVID-19 pandemic ATG has been postponed until 2021. This means that, as an independent business with no corporate backers, we have a whole year with little to no income. This crowd funder will secure the long term survival of ArcTanGent and help to support thousands of others that depend on ATG each year. If people are able to help out then they will be a hero not just to the three of us who work all year round on the festival, but our whole team and everyone else that loves ArcTanGent.”

ArcTanGent will take place at Fernhill Farm on August 19th-21st 2021.
