ArcTanGent Festival 2026 Final Line Up Announcement
The much-loved and award winning ArcTanGent Festival returns this summer, and can today announce the final acts and artists for the event. Taking place between the 19th and 22nd August at Fernhill Farm near Bristol, the festival is a globally celebrated musical melting pot of rock, metal, doom, psych, math rock, post rock, folk rock, avant-garde and much much more.
Joining them will be the utterly phenomenal Kingston rock band Cardiacs, who released their brilliant new album ‘LSD’ last year to a huge wave of critical praise and acclaim. The band now also features musician Mike Vennart (Oceansize, Vennart, Biffy Clyro). Also playing are much loved cult band The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, recently reformed and following up last years Furnace fest performance with this slot at ATG. Along with Danish blackgaze band MØL, stunning British singer and songwriter A.A. Williams, and exciting genre bending Bristol band, Scaler. There will also be a live silent disco set from the must-not-miss band Battlesnake, a first ever appearance for much (and well deserved) hyped UK punk band Witch Fever, as well as a welcome return for the UK band Youthmovies.
Speaking of these final additions to the ArcTanGent Festival, organiser James Scarlett says - “Just like that, the ArcTanGent 2026 line up is complete. Is there a better way to do it than bagging highly-requested absolute-legends Cardiacs, finally getting the Youthmovies reunion we’ve been working on since 2021, and bringing The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza for their first ever UK show. This has truly been our best-selling year and a sold out festival is on the horizon - so thank you to all the ArcTanGent family for their huge support this year. If you haven’t got a ticket yet, don’t sleep on it or risk being sorely disappointed! For everyone that has, we shall see you in August!“
