ArcTanGent have announced a boatload more bands to 2025's already heaving festivities. The Callous Daoboys, Leicester post-rock heroes Maybeshewill and reunited Welsh post-hardcore outfit McLusky and many more have all been added to this August's fun at Fernhill Farm.

"To mark our 20th year as a band we wanted to put together a special set that looked back on the whole of our career," say Maybeshewill. "Drawing on some rarely performed songs from our back catalogue, we’ll be joined by an ensemble of additional musicians who have played with us over the years. ArcTanGent has always felt like home to us, and it felt like the perfect setting to celebrate this milestone amongst friends.”

"ArcTanGent Festival 2025 has truly become a diverse spectrum of extraordinary sounds that we’re all extremely proud of at ATG HQ," says festival big boss James Scarlett. "From ground-breaking live band silent disco sets to even more one-of-a-kind sets (Maybeshewill with accompanying strings will be something to behold), it’s really starting to feel like this summer’s most unique music festival is right around the corner."

Also in the announcement are Frontierer, God Is An Astronaut, Waldo’s Gift, Nordic Giants, AK/DK, Lost in Kiev, Pothamus, Yard, Wren, vianova, Swamp Coffin, The Sad Season, The Grey and Lo!, as well as a Doom-Rave DJ set from JOHN CXNNOR, and the 2 Promoters 1 Pod podcast featuring James Scarlett and Damnation Fest head Gav McInally.

They join an already stacked line-up that includes headliners TesseracT, Wardruna and Karnivool, alongside Green Lung, Melvins, Rolo Tomassi, Leprous, Lowen, Emma Ruth Rundle, Between The Buried And Me and many more.

ArcTanGent takes place at Fernhill Farm near Bristol, August 13 – 16
