Why ArcTanGent matters
Based on a remote farm in the Mendips south of Bristol, ArcTanGent has built a reputation as a genuine one-off in the UK calendar: a weekend of math-rock, post-rock, noise and esoteric metal that bigger festivals won't book. Previous editions have been headlined by Deafheaven (performing 'Sunbather' in full in 2022), Russian Circles, and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs.
