The wait is over, ArcTanGent have dropped the first line-up announcement for their 2026 edition, and it’s already looking stacked.

While the headliners are still under wraps for now, plenty of incredible names have been revealed for the August 19–22 weekender. Expect UK-exclusive sets from Perturbator, Igorrr, and Oathbreaker, plus appearances from Chat Pile, Agent Fresco, TTNG, a HECK reunion celebrating 10 years of Instructions, and what’s being billed as Svalbard’s final festival performance, plus loads more still to come.

“The demand for ArcTanGent 2026 tickets has truly been unprecedented, with over half our tickets sold in the first two weeks of them being on sale,” says ATG organiser James Scarlett. “Fans will have to wait a little bit longer before we can announce our headliners, but we’re so excited for the exclusives, reformations and special sets we’ve already cooked up – early bird tickets are running low so if you want to lock in for another vintage ArcTanGent, don’t sleep!”
