British rock music festival ArcTanGent has finally revealed this year’s complete line-up. Among the leading headliners appear Opeth, Tesseract, and Chealsea Wolfe—along with numerous rock acts—who will rock out at Fernhill Farm, Bristol from August 20 to 22. Tickets to the festival are already on sale via the official site.
ArcTanGent is a rock music festival held annually at Fernhill Farm near Bristol. First emerged in 2013, the festival—despite focusing on independent rock acts—has gained much popularity in the UK music scene, with an accolade as Best Small Festival from the UK Festival Awards 2018 and a nomination for the Best Line-Up award.
The festival is made up of five alternating stages, with Arc as the main one for big headliners. It also features a silent disco from 11pm to 3am every night after all the performances, alongside a variety of food and bar vendors and camping. Also, the festival promotes itself for the “friendliest and most chilled audience” one will ever find at any festival.
Opeth, a progressive metal band from Stockholm, is this year’s main headliner that will take over the Arc stage. Formed in 1989, the band has released over ten studio albums, with their twelfth LP Sorceress (2016) as their most successful record in the UK. It reached number 11 on the UK Albums Chart, spawning singles such as the title track, “Will O the Wisp”, and “The Wilde Flowers”.
Apart from the Swedish rockers, gothic rock singer/songwriter Chelsea Wolfe has been recently announced as one of the leading names to headline the Fernhill Farm festival. She is a 36-year-old musician from Sacramento, California who has been in the gothic rock scene since 2010. In spite of being acclaimed among the underground music scene, Wolfe has embarked on tour around the globe, gaining many followers for her eccentric music that blends folk with electronics and heavy metal. Last year, she just released the sixth LP titled Birth of Violence, which she will bring the songs to the stage at the festival.
Elsewhere on the bill, two American metal bands Bell Witch and Aerial Ruins will collaborate for the metal fans at the festival. Also, there will be performances from The Hyena Kill, Petbrick, Teeth of the Sea, Bristol electronic duo Luo, and many more.
