ArcTanGent Festival Unveils First Acts for 2026

The ArcTanGent Festival has revealed the first 37 names announced for next year’s festival. The announcement is led by French artist Igorrr, Perturbator, Chat Pile, Alcest, and the returning Oathbreaker.

Some of the other notable names announced for ATG 2026 include TTNG, BRUIT ≤, Shearling, Michael Cera Palin, and Psychonaut. It will also see HECK reforming to mark the 10th anniversary show of ‘Instructions’, and Humanfly will be reforming for their first show in 13 years. While Agent Fresco will be playing their first UK date in seven years.

As always, the Wednesday of ArcTanGent sees old favourites returning with Svalbard playing their final festival dates. It’ll also see the likes of Alpha Male Tea Party, Overhead, The Albatross, Lost In Kiev, Chalk Hands, Giant Walker, and more returning.

Commenting on today’s announcement, festival organiser James Scarlett shared; “The demand for ArcTanGent 2026 tickets has truly been unprecedented, with over half our tickets sold in the first 2 weeks of them being on sale. Fans will have to wait a little bit longer before we can announce our headliners, but we’re so excited for the exclusives, reformations and special sets we’ve already cooked up – Early Bird tickets are running low so if you want to lock in for another vintage ArcTanGent, don’t sleep!”
