The first wave of bands have been announced for ArcTanGent Festival, which takes place from Thursday 16th until Saturday 18th August 2018 at Fernhill Farm, Cheddar, in Somerset.

For the first time the Main Stage will open on the Thursday, and it'll be headlined by And So I Watch You From Afar who return for the festival for the 4th time and are playing 'The Endless Shimmering' in its entirety.

There will also be GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! who will be playing their first-ever European show, plus Pianos Become Teeth, Alpha Male Tea Party, Rolo Tomassi, Jamie Lenman, Foxing, Gallops who will play a full set at the Silent Disco, Talons, Bossk, Svalbard, Gulfer, Body Hound, and Gug.

Festival promoter James Scarlett says “We’ve spent the last few months curating some very special experiences for the ArcTanGent faithful... We’ve got GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! playing their first ever European show, And So I Watch You From Afar performing their new album in it’s entirety for the first time and the madly bonkers idea to have Gallops playing a full band live set at the silent disco. Plus we’re very happy to have Big Scary Monsters and Holy Roar doing a Thursday takeover. I can’t breathe I’m so excited about all this and I can also confirm that we’ll be releasing our Friday & Saturday main stage headliners before long - they are BIG! ATG #6 is going to be the best one yet for sure!”

Tickets are on sale, priced at £81 for 2-days or £99 for 3-days.
