ArcTanGent have announced their lineup for 2024, promising a selection of artists that “you won’t find anywhere else on Earth.” Set to take place across 14th-17th August 2024, the Bristol-based festival will have heavy hitters Meshuggah as their UK exclusive headlining act.
Meshuggah will be supported by artists including Animals As Leaders, And So I Watch You From Afar and Three Trapped Tigers. Festival-goers will also be treated to performances by Textures, Curse These Metal Hands, Plini and many, many more.
The festival celebrates all forms of rock music, becoming labelled as “three days of expansive exhilaration” and “a haven of progressive music across the spectrum of all things heavy.”
2024 will mark the festival’s 10th anniversary, with a special 30% off deal on tickets available until the end of 2023, or until tickets sell out. To celebrate the anniversary, festival organisers took to social media to christen the show as “Arc10Gent.”

ArcTanGent organiser James Scarlett shared more on the plans for the 10th anniversary of the festival, saying, “To celebrate our 10th birthday we wanted to invite back some of our all-time favourite bands from over the years. We drew up a list of all the bands that have ever played ATG that we’d like back and, as it was probably the best thing I’ve ever seen at ATG, naturally Meshuggah was top of that list.”
Scarlett continued, “Animals As Leaders last played way back in 2016 so they weren’t far behind! We’re stoked to be welcoming both bands back in even bigger fashion than last time, to celebrate 10 years of ATG.”
ArcTanGent will be the only UK show that Meshuggah will play in 2024, as well as being the only European show for Animals As Leaders.
// Fans take note – this is a UK exclusive. It will be the only UK show Meshuggah play in 2024, and the only European show of 2024 for Animals As Leaders.
