The full line-up for this summer's ArcTanGent festival has been confirmed.
Final additions to the bill include Cardiacs, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, MØL, A.A. Williams, Scaler, Witch Fever, Youthmovies, Otay:onii, XO Armor, Zeta, The Intersphere, MÚR, HUGGING, Kathryn Joseph and SKLOSS. There will also be a live silent disco set from Battlesnake. Arctangent organiser James Scarlett said:
"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!"
Headlining the Somerset festival will be American singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe on Thursday, legendary experimental rock band Primus on Friday, and Cult Of Luna and Julie Christmas on Saturday, celebrating the 10th anniversary of 'Mariner' by performing the album in full.
Wednesday will be headlined by Sikth, following sets from Napalm Death, High On Fire, Conjurer, cellist and composer Jo Quail, performing with the Crossbones Ensemble in a UK exclusive set, Svalbard, who play their final festival show, Lost In Kiev, and math rock group Alpha Male Tea Party.
The line-up also features UK exclusive sets from Igorrr, Perturbator, Oathbreaker and Alcest, plus sets by Chat Pile, Agent Fresco, TTNG, Heck — reforming to celebrate 10 years of 'Instructions' — and Humanfly, returning for their first show in 13 years.
