The final bands have been confirmed for ArcTanGent Festival!

Festival season is in full swing now and the organisers of this year’s festival have confirmed the final 10 bands for this year’s event! Leading the charge in the final announcement is black metal visionary MYRKUR, ARCANE ROOTS (who will play a second, extra special electronic set) and CASSELS.

Speaking about their festival appearance, ARCANE ROOTS says, “over the last couple of years, we have developed a healthy addiction to pushing our little boat out into the wider sea. At first it was tentative, but once we started releasing music without repercussion, it became something we soon felt we couldn’t be without. We began to open doors that had previously felt closed off to us and set about exploring music that we had never imagined being part of. Slowly, (very slowly) we managed to find some comfortable new ground. Nothing felt more rewarding than opening ourselves up to that risk and choosing to embrace everything that came our way, so at a farm near Bristol, we’d like to open that experience up to everyone else. It’s certainly still an experiment, and certainly still a risk, but I don’t think there is anywhere better than ArcTanGent to present these new and challenging facets of our band.” Festival organiser James Scarlett adds, “having MYRKUR on the line up is going to add an extra dimension to what I’m certain is our strongest line up yet and I’m also very excited about the ARCANE ROOTS electronic set, which I’ve been assured they’ve been planning and is going to be very special indeed.”

The final list of bands confirmed for this year’s festival is as follows:
