The big review: ArcTanGent 2024
ArcTanGent brings home the bacon with a stellar 10th edition, as Mogwai, Meshuggah, Electric Wizard and more deliver the more unusual side of music to Bristol’s Fernhill Farm.
Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, Corrosion Of Conformity and 75 others will play the London riff fest’s 10th anniversary bonanza…
This weekend, Desertfest should have been taking over the venues of Camden to deliver the best and heaviest in doom, stoner rock, weird stuff, and anything else with fat riffs in it. Sadly, it was ultimately postponed until next year, but they’ve just announced the full line-up for next year’s event. As befits their 10th birthday, they’ve put together what could well be the ultimate, most Desertfest bill that’s ever Desertfest-ed…

Next May bank holiday (April 29 – May 1), headliners Witchcraft (Friday), Shellac (Saturday) and Electric Wizard (Sunday), will top a bill also featuring underground heroes like Orange Goblin, EyeHateGod, The Obsessed, Corrosion Of Conformity, Yob, Elder and Conan.
Founding owner of Desertfest Reece Tee enthuses: "Desertfest is 10 years old! I’m so proud that our independent festival has stood the test of time. What we have created is special, a decade of great bands, great friends and amazing memories. This year’s line up is a true reflection of how diverse Desertfest has become and with such a loyal audience, Desertfest can champion the underground for decades more to come."
