The first line-up announcement for the next ArcTanGent has arrived!
In what will be a UK live show exclusive for 2025, Karnivool (pictured) will headline the main stage on the Friday. Also part of the first wave are Rolo Tomassi, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary, and Melvins, for who it will be their only UK festival appearance next year.
The festival of math-rock, post-rock, noise-rock, alt-rock and everything in between will return for its 11th year to Fernhill Farm in Compton Martin in mid-August, with the first day of the event (August 13) open to four-day ticket holders only. ArcTanGent's organiser and booker, James Scarlett said:
"We go again! We’ve already got some huge reunions in the form of Kylesa, Adebisi Shank and Vessels, plus some legendary albums in full from The Fall Of Troy, We Lost The Sea and Between The Buried And Me. We’re also delighted to welcome Melvins and our Friday headliners, Karnivool, to their first ever ATG. We’re starting as we mean to go on - ArcTanGent 2025 is going to be ridiculous!"
