The Dillinger Escape Plan are announced as main stage headliners for this year’s ArcTangent Festival near Bristol.
Other bands announced for the festival, which takes place from August 20-22, include Vennart, Talons, Her Name Is Calla, British Theatre, The Algorithm, Rolo Tomassi and Tangled Hair.
Organiser James Scarlett said: “This year we were keen to come back bigger and better than ever. Headliners aside, one of the best things about ATG is discovering your new favourite band from the cream of the world’s post-rock and math-rock scenes”.

To attend the “super-fans” Thursday night of ArcTanGent a three-day festival ticket is required. The Thursday line up includes sets from 65daysofstatic, Cleft, Alpha Male Tea Party and AK/DK. These bands will not be appearing elsewhere during the weekend.
Organiser Goc O’Callaghan says “We wanted to bring back some of the bands that helped make last year’s ArcTanGent such a success. The VIP Early Entry is an optional night, so it’s really targeted at the super-fans. Bringing back some special guests will excite those who came to the festival in the last two years, and will give new fans a chance to catch a little bit of what they’ve been missing out on.”
