And So I Watch You From Afar headline the handpicked line-up for the Thursday night for the 2nd ArcTanGent Festival.

The special returning guests night selected from the 2013 bill includes support from Three Trapped Tigers, TTNG, The Physics House Band, Baby Godzilla, Nordic Giants, The St Pierre Snake Invasion, and Theo.

Organiser James Scarlett said, “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 last year, and will give those who missed it a chance to catch a little bit of the 2013 vibe.”

This is the first round of announcements for this year’s ArcTanGent, with many more exciting announcements still to come. The festival is still to announce bands from all over the world including Japan and the USA.

The 5,000 capacity event which celebrates leftfield UK guitar music will takes place from Thursday 28th until Saturday 30st August 2014 at Fernhill Farm, Cheddar, in Somerset.

Early bird tickets are priced at £59. An early entry ticket is priced at £10 (allows entry from 1pm on Thursday 28th August 2014). A child (aged 0 to 10 years old) can attend for free.

There's also a joint ticket with sister event 2000trees priced at £115.

Tickets went on sale last Thursday (30th January) and all targets have been smashed. Organiser Simon Maltas says “We’ve already sold more than 3 times the amount of tickets compared to this time last year without announcing a single band. It seems that people are mad keen to be a part of ArcTanGent next year and they just know we’re planning on bringing them some awesome bands.

"We’re confident that we’ll totally sell out way before the event, especially when folks see the bands we’ve booked. Trust us, August 2014 is going to be seriously amazing for fans of math-rock and post-rock!”
