ARCTANGENT Festival 2025 - First headliner and bands announcement

Following on from this years incredible, sun baked, sold out (and probably best so far) 10th Anniversary event, the much loved and mighty award winning ARCTANGENT Festival can today announce the first set of bands (including a main stage headliner) for next year. Taking place on the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th of August 2025, tickets for the event are on sale now, and available from - HERE

The first 2025 main stage headliner comes in the shape of the phenomenal Australian progressive metal band Karnivool, who will be making their ARCTANGENT Festival debut in 2025, as well as perform there as a 2025 UK exclusive show. A stunning band whose last studio album 'Asymmetry' was released back in 2013, and is considered and revered (quite rightly) as a modern masterpiece. With new music confirmed and on the way as well, this headline set is an absolute nailed on, not to be missed spectacle.

Also announced today are Washington legends Melvins (UK festival exclusive), one of the finest ever UK heavy bands Rolo Tomassi, a huge and welcome return to the world (and another ATG debut/festival exclusive) for Georgia band Kylesa and the stunning Scottish 5-piece DVNE.

There will also be some very special ARCTANGENT Festival exclusive sets from Between the Buried And Me (who will be performing 2 sets including a 'Colours' in full set), The Fall Of Troy (who will be playing 'Doppelganger' in full), and We Lost the Sea (playing 2 sets 'Departure Song' in full and a hits set).

From ARCTANGENT Festival organiser and booked, James Scarlett - "We go again! We’ve already got some huge reunions in the form of Kylesa, Adebisi Shank and Vessels, plus some legendary albums in full from The Fall Of Troy, We Lost The Sea and Between The Buried And Me. We’re also delighted to welcome Melvins and our Friday headliners, Karnivool, to their first ever ATG. We’re starting as we mean to go on - ArcTanGent 2025 is going to be ridiculous!"

From Karnivool - “How good is music? It thrills us from our collective hearts, excited to be circling the round round globe just to play this one show with some amazing acts and friends, Arctangent see you there! How good is music?"

From Rolo Tomassi - "When it came to deciding how to best celebrate our 20th anniversary there was only one thing we had in mind. We're delighted to be returning to ArcTanGent and look forward to putting together a special show for this incredibly special festival."

From Kylesa - "We are thrilled to make our return to the UK under the legendary tents of ArcTanGent. Looking forward to seeing you all in Bristol!"
