ArcTanGent Festival is set to return in next year, taking place from 19th to 22nd August, and has announced its main stage headliners along with a host of other acts.
The festival will feature Primus, Chelsea Wolfe and Cult Of Luna & Julie Christmas – performing ‘Mariner’ in full – as the main stage headliners.
Joining the headliners are acts such as SikTh, who will headline the Wednesday event, Napalm Death, High On Fire, Conjurer and Jo Quail with The Crossbones Ensemble, marking a UK exclusive performance.
The festival will also feature previously announced acts, including Igorrr, Perturbator, Chat Pile, Alcest, Oathbreaker, Agent Fresco, TTNG, and many others.
Johannes from Cult Of Luna remarked, “In 2016, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Somewhere Along the Highway. At the time, it already felt like a lifetime had passed since we recorded it. That same year, we released Mariner with Julie Christmas and somehow, ten more years have gone by in what feels like an instant. I was about to make a clever analogy about the speed of light and the passage of time to connect it all to the themes of the album, but it’s too early in the morning for that kind of thinking. It probably just comes down to the fact I’m getting older faster. What I’m really trying to say is simple: I take every chance I get to be on stage with Julie. As a band, we spent a lot of time considering what it would mean to revisit these songs again. Making this album was a risk, we didn’t know what the creative process would look like with someone who wasn’t part of our world at the time. Julie is now a dear friend, and we’re grateful to ArcTanGent Festival for giving us the opportunity to return to this material together. So with a mix of excitement and a fair bit of fear, we’re preparing to bring these songs back to life next summer.”
