Following on from last year’s incredible and sold out (and probably best so far) 10th Anniversary event, the much loved and mighty award-winning Arctangent Festival returns this summer, and can today reveal another host of amazing acts for the event. To kick things off we have two more headliners for the festival. Firstly playing their first ever ATG are Norwegian band Wardruna, who will be bringing their Norse musical interpretations and traditions to the festival as our Wednesday night headliners. With this incredible band now in place, the Wednesday for this year’s Arctangent Festival will be its biggest ever, with more stages open to accomodate, but still no clashes! Then we have the brilliant UK prog rock band Tesseract, who will be returning to ATG and headlining the main stage on Saturday this year, closing out an intense two year touring period of their album War Of Being. In addition to a host of new bands added to the fest, special sets Include – Between The Buried In Me (Playing 2 Sets), Fall Of Troy (Playing Doppelganger In Full), and We Lost The Sea (Playing 2 Sets)!Continue reading

Roadburn 2019 – A Fest of a Different Color
Roadburn, now in its 20th year, is a fest I had promised I would start going to many, many years ago but for one reason or another never did. This year I went and although it is like other music fests in some ways, I can say that it is equally unlike other fests in many other ways. Many of my personal experiences will not be akin to a standard festival goer due to the nature of what I do obviously but if you bear with me here I can explain some things that the average person should expect when and if they decide to go is on their list of priorities.
