Festival organiser James Scarlett told us:
ArcTanGent Festival has always been about championing the most exciting, experimental, left-field artists and this year will absolutely be no different. There’s zero chance you’ll find another line up like this anywhere in the UK – this is not to be missed!
- ArcTanGent takes place over the weekend of 16-19 August at Fernhill Farm, just outside Bristol.
