ArcTanGent organisers have confirmed Godspeed You! Black Emperor as one of two headliners, joining the already announced American Football. It will mark the Canadian post-rock behemoth’s only UK festival appearance in 2016. It’s also set to be quite the show.
“Godspeed headlining ArcTanGent is going to be incredible,” says organiser James Scarlett. “We’re giving them a two hour set and their full production which includes some awesome visuals. The ATG “Arc Stage” is already a magical setting for post-rock & math-rock fans but this will take it up another level for sure!”
Now in their 22nd year as a band, they join the likes of MONO, Toe, La Dispute, Sikth, Three Trapped Tigers and Meet Me in St. Louis at Fernhill Farm near Bristol from the 18th to the 20th August 2016.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Canada), American Football (USA), Toe (Japan), La Dispute (USA), Sikth, MONO (Japan), Meet Me In St. Louis, Three Trapped Tigers, Rolo Tomassi, Caspian (USA), Nordic Giants, Errors, TTNG, Animals As Leaders (USA), Yndi Halda, Mutoid Man (USA), Agent Fresco (Iceland), Owen (USA), Good Tiger, Raketkanon (Belgium), Talons, Tangled Hair, Body Hound, Axes, Quadrupede (France), Delta Sleep, Samoans, Poly-Math, MNHM (Holland), Tiny Fingers (Israel), Gulfer (Canada), Svalbard, Alarmist (Ireland), Falls, Totorro (France), Alma, Town Portal (Denmark), Dialects, Cheap Jazz, Kusanagi, Chiyoda Ku, SkyHitch, Anta, Floral (USA), A WEREWOLF! and Exxasens (Spain).
