The\u00a0ArcTanGent Festival<\/strong> has announced 46 new names for this year’s event. Alongside the previously announced\u00a0Arcane Roots<\/strong>, today’s news sees\u00a0Maruja<\/strong>,\u00a0Nordic Giants<\/strong>, Jamie Lenman<\/strong>,\u00a0 Nothing<\/strong>, Zu<\/strong>, Pupil Slicer<\/strong>, and SOM<\/strong> joining the bill.<\/p>\n

Some of the other notable additions are itoldyouiwouldeatyou<\/strong>, God Alone<\/strong> (Live Silent Disco Set), Papangu<\/strong>, IAN<\/strong>, Civil Service<\/strong>, Wildernesses<\/strong>, Forlorn<\/strong>, lowheaven<\/strong>, and Ronker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“ArcTanGent 2026 is officially our best-selling edition of the festival by a country mile, and we are absolutely buzzing to be adding another huge wave of artists for the festival. In particular, bands like EIV\u00d8R, Nothing and Master Boot Record, who are joining us at the festival for the very first time,”<\/em> saysArcTanGent Festival organiser James Scarlett. “One of the best parts of booking a festival is also to be able to have some artists return significantly bigger than the last time they played. The likes of Maruja and Mass of the Fermenting Dregs have well and truly sped through the ranks and both are not to be missed this year after playing much lower down the bill only a few years ago. All this without mentioning the return of the mighty Arcane Roots – to have them returning after over 7 years, exclusively for our festivals, is a truly special moment.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s additions join a stacked line-up that includes the three main stage headliners, Chelsea Wolfe<\/strong>, Primus<\/strong>, and Cult of Luna & Julie Christma<\/strong>s (performing ‘Mariner’<\/em>), as well as the likes of Igorrr<\/strong>, Sikth<\/strong>, Napalm Death<\/strong>, Pertubator<\/strong>, High On Fire<\/strong>, Chat Pile<\/strong>, Alcest<\/strong>, Oathbreaker<\/strong>, and many more.<\/p>\n
