Deafheaven to headline ArcTanGent

Deafheaven will headline this summer's ArcTanGent Festival which celebrates leftfield UK guitar music will takes place from Thursday 20th until Saturday 22nd August 2015 at Fernhill Farm, Cheddar, in Somerset.

Also hand-picked from the very best of the Sargent House roster for the line-up are Mylets (joining Thursday's line-up), Helms Alee, Marriages, and Emma Ruth Rundle

Organiser James Scarlett said, "After last year’s partnership with Sargent House (which featured Russian Circles, Tera Melos, And So I Watch You From Afar, Mylets, No Spill Blood and TTNG) we just had to do something again this year. Two of my favourite albums of last year were Deafheaven and Helms Alee so they were absolute no brainers! The one thing you can always guarantee about Sargent House is that the quality of their acts is amazing and I think the last two years at ATG is proof of that!"

Cathy Pellow from Sargent House added, "We had a really great time at ArcTanGent Festival last year and this year we’ll be coming over from America en masse. It’s really great to have a festival that brings together all these different types of alternative, leftfield music fan in one place – we all just feel so at home with that crowd. So wherever you live in the world we’ll see you for a big old party in the UK in August!"

In just over a week ticket sales massively smashed the previous records and organisers say it’s looking really good for a sell-out.

Organiser Si Maltas suggests, "Although there are still around 20 acts to be announced the smart ArcTanGent faithful should grab their tickets sooner rather than later if they want to come back this August!”
