ArcTanGent Festival has added 25 Bristol bands to its line-up that include Thought Forms, Zun Zun Egui, The Pirate Ship Quintet, The Naturals and many more.

Says co-founder James Scarlett; “I find the music scene in Bristol incredibly exciting and here at ArcTanGent we’ve always been keen to ensure our line up reflects this wealth of talent. Obviously there is a rich musical heritage with bands like Portishead, Massive Attack and Tricky, but 2013 really feels like it could be another Year Zero for the Bristol music scene.” 

Also added to the line-up are Deej Dariwhal, Oliver Wilde, Giant Swan, Anta, Joe Garcia, St Pierre Snake Invasion, Scarlet Racal & the TrainWreck, Anthroprophh, Spectres, Hysterical Injury, Damien Schneider, RiceBeats, SJ Esau, VOSTOK, TOM BEEF (± THE MOTHER BEEF), The Dagger Brothers, Oxygen Thief, POHL, Falling Stacks and Flights. 

James continued: “I feel very confident that we’ve booked the cream of Bristol’s music scene and I can’t wait for people to check out these bands because they are seriously amazing. They have all been booked on merit and the fact they are from Bristol is just an added bonus for us”.
