What to expect in 2027

ArcTanGent Festival 2027 will bring four days of experimental rock, post-rock, progressive music, math rock, metal, hardcore and electronic sounds to a brand-new Cotswolds location. The festival describes itself as a home for radically innovative contemporary music, bringing together more than 100 acts and a dedicated international community of music fans.

The 2027 edition will be the first ArcTanGent at Todenham Manor Farm near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. Although the location is changing, the organisers say the intimate festival format will remain largely the same, with the stages, bars and traders concentrated within a relatively compact arena so visitors can move easily between performances.

The festival will retain its distinctive indoor Big Top approach rather than switching to a conventional large outdoor main stage. The confirmed 2027 lineup includes major names such as Primus, Chelsea Wolfe, Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas, Igorrr, Napalm Death, SikTh, Perturbator, Alcest and Eivør alongside a large selection of underground and emerging artists.

Festival dates

August 18–21, 2027

ArcTanGent 2027 is scheduled as a four-day camping festival. The 4 Day ticket includes early entry and camping from the opening day, while the standard 3 Day ticket covers the main Thursday-to-Saturday festival programme.

The organiser has confirmed that early entry is available to selected 4 Day ticket holders, while the main festival programme runs across the three principal music days.

Venue & festival site

ArcTanGent 2027 will take place at Todenham Manor Farm, near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56 9NW, United Kingdom. This is a completely new site for the festival, replacing its previous home at Fernhill Farm.

The new venue is situated among the rolling Cotswold Hills and provides more campsite space while retaining the compact arena concept ArcTanGent is known for. The organisers say the arena fields are large enough to reproduce the intimate layout of stages, bars and traders used previously.

The festival will continue using indoor Big Top venues for its main stages. The organiser has confirmed that the 2027 site will retain the Main Stage, Yohkai, Bixler and PX3 stages.

Headliners

The principal names at the top of the 2027 ArcTanGent programme include Primus, Chelsea Wolfe, Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas, Igorrr, Napalm Death, SikTh, Perturbator, Alcest, Eivør and Chat Pile.

Primus provides one of the festival’s biggest international draws, while Chelsea Wolfe brings her distinctive dark alternative sound. Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas, Napalm Death, Alcest and High on Fire reinforce the heavier side of the programme.

Rather than relying solely on mainstream headliners, ArcTanGent deliberately combines major established acts with specialist underground performers and emerging artists.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The complete 2027 performance timetable has not yet been published, but the stage structure has been confirmed.

• Main Stage: One of the principal indoor Big Top stages hosting major festival acts.
• Yohkai Stage: A dedicated stage for the festival’s alternative, experimental and heavy programme.
• Bixler Stage: One of the core performance areas used for the diverse ArcTanGent lineup.
• PX3 Stage: Another major stage contributing to the festival’s rotating programme.
• Silent Disco: Late-night programming includes special live sets, including Amplifier and Bruise Blood.

The organisers have specifically designed the new site so these stages remain close together. Visitors should therefore be able to move between performances without the long walks associated with many larger festivals.

Set times

The final 2027 set times have not yet been published.

ArcTanGent traditionally schedules performances across alternating stages, allowing visitors to see a large number of artists without major clashes. The festival’s compact site also makes moving between stages relatively straightforward.

The previous festival format featured daytime and evening band performances followed by late-night Silent Disco programming. The organiser describes the Silent Disco as a nightly feature running into the early morning.

Visitors should check the official timetable and ArcTanGent app once the final 2027 schedule is released.

Ticket types

ArcTanGent 2027 ticket sales include several ticket formats, with the official ticket system currently offering weekend, day and other ticket categories. The payment-plan system specifically lists 3 Day, 4 Day, VIP 3 Day and VIP 4 Day options.

• 3 Day Weekend Ticket: Main festival admission with camping included.
• 4 Day Weekend Ticket: Includes early entry and an additional camping night.
• Day Tickets: Available for visitors who do not want the complete camping weekend.
• VIP 3 Day Ticket: Standard VIP weekend access for the main festival period.
• VIP 4 Day Ticket: VIP access with early entry.
• Campervan Ticket: Required for visitors bringing an approved campervan.
• Parking Ticket: Available separately where required.
• Glamping: Additional accommodation options can be purchased alongside valid weekend tickets.

All 3 Day and 4 Day weekend tickets include camping, while glamping must be purchased separately. Caravans are not permitted at the new site.

Ticket release phases

The official 2027 ticket page confirms that tickets are being sold through the festival’s ticketing system, while monthly instalment options are also available or being released for 3 Day, 4 Day and VIP ticket categories.

The organisers also operate a mailing-list system for priority ticket information, competitions and promotional offers. Some promotional campaigns have offered discounts to subscribers.

For visitors using the instalment system, payments are collected monthly through GoCardless, and the festival sends the official festival ticket before the event.

VIP/Village options

VIP tickets provide a more comfortable festival experience without changing the core ArcTanGent music programme.

The 2027 VIP package includes:

• VIP Camping: A dedicated campsite with VIP-only toilets and showers.
• Closer Location: VIP camping is positioned closer to the festival arena.
• Private VIP Entrance: A separate wristband exchange helps reduce general-entry queues.
• VIP Parking: VIP ticket holders receive access to dedicated parking arrangements.
• VIP Bar: An exclusive bar with faster service and a dedicated social space.
• VIP Merchandise: A festival merchandise bundle including items such as a clashfinder, T-shirt and bag.
• Arrival Drink: A complimentary glass of bubbly on arrival.

Pre-pitched and boutique tents booked by VIP visitors are placed within the VIP campsite. Children under 13 do not require their own VIP ticket when accompanied by an adult with VIP access.

Festival rules

ArcTanGent operates security checks at entry, including body and bag searches. Prohibited items may be confiscated, and visitors can be removed from the site when necessary to protect other festival-goers.

Important rules include:

• Weapons and sharp objects are prohibited.
• Glass is not permitted.
• Fireworks, flares and pyrotechnics are prohibited.
• Lasers and laser pens are not permitted.
• Illegal substances are prohibited.
• Animals are not permitted except approved assistance dogs.
• Professional cameras and SLR equipment require appropriate press permission.
• Sleeping in ordinary cars or car parks is prohibited.
• Visitors wanting to sleep in a vehicle must purchase the appropriate campervan pitch.
• Visitors must follow the festival’s alcohol and security requirements.
• The site operates as a cashless festival.

There is no minimum age for attendance, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

How to get there

The new festival location is Todenham Manor Farm, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56 9NW. The organisers advise visitors to follow the designated festival gate instructions rather than relying solely on the postcode, as the postcode may not direct drivers to the correct entrance.

The site is approximately two hours from London by road, around one hour and 25 minutes from Bristol and about one hour from Birmingham, according to the organiser’s travel information.

Parking tickets can be purchased separately, while accessible parking is free for eligible visitors who request it through the accessibility system.

Public transport after the festival

The nearest railway station is Moreton-in-Marsh, which has direct train connections from London Paddington. From the station, the festival site is approximately a five-minute taxi journey.

ArcTanGent is also working with Tuned In Travel, its official transport provider, which offers national coaches, festival shuttle services and private hire. The organiser has stated that coaches and shuttle buses will operate from major cities, including Bristol.

Birmingham is identified by the festival as the nearest international airport. International visitors can therefore combine a flight into Birmingham with rail or road travel toward Moreton-in-Marsh.

Accommodation areas

Weekend tickets include camping, allowing visitors to bring their own tents and stay onsite without purchasing a separate standard camping pass.

The 2027 site will provide more camping space than the previous location while keeping the camping areas close to the arena. The organisers have also confirmed dedicated VIP camping and a designated campervan area.

Campervans are permitted, but caravans are not. Visitors bringing a campervan must purchase the appropriate campervan ticket and cannot use the main car park as a sleeping area.

Glamping options include bell tents and pre-pitched accommodation. Previous packages included furnished bell tents for couples, groups and families, with some options sleeping up to eight people.

Food & drink at the festival

ArcTanGent provides a broad selection of independent food traders, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and meat options available. The festival also provides allergen information at Festival Reception and encourages visitors with allergies to check directly with individual traders.

Bars serve a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, with local beer and cider forming part of the festival’s food-and-drink offering. The organiser describes its food traders and independent drink selection as an important part of the festival experience.

ArcTanGent operates a Challenge 25 alcohol policy. Visitors who appear under 25 can be asked for valid identification even if they already have an over-18 wristband.

The site is cashless, so visitors should bring a bank card or other accepted contactless payment method.

Accessibility

ArcTanGent provides accessibility facilities for visitors with visible and non-visible disabilities. Personal Assistant or Essential Companion tickets can be requested through the festival’s access process.

Accessible provisions include accessible camping, accessible parking, accessible toilets, accessible viewing platforms at the stages and charging facilities for mobility aids and assistive equipment. Accessible parking is free for eligible visitors who request it.

The festival’s new location has a mixture of farm tracks, grass and natural ground. Conditions can become muddy and slippery in wet weather, while dry conditions can make some grass areas firm and uneven. Visitors using wheelchairs or mobility scooters should therefore review the accessibility information before attending.

Assistance dogs are welcome, and 24-hour medical and welfare services are available onsite. Strobe lighting and intense sound are common across the festival’s heavy-music programme.

Best days to attend

For the full ArcTanGent experience, the 4 Day ticket is the best option because it includes early entry and provides more time to explore the programme and campsite.

Visitors mainly interested in the biggest announced names should focus on the days allocated to Primus, Chelsea Wolfe, Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas, Igorrr, Napalm Death, Alcest and the other top-billed acts once the final day splits are confirmed.

For underground music fans, there is strong reason to stay for the entire festival because ArcTanGent’s programme includes more than 100 acts across multiple stages. The compact layout makes it possible to explore different parts of the bill without spending large amounts of time walking between stages.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous edition at Fernhill Farm continued ArcTanGent’s reputation for bringing together progressive, experimental and heavy music. The programme featured artists from across post-rock, metal, hardcore, electronic and alternative genres.

The 2026 programme included Primus, Chelsea Wolfe, Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas, Igorrr, Napalm Death, SikTh, Perturbator, Alcest and Eivør among its major names. The event also included a wide range of specialist underground acts and Silent Disco programming.

One of the biggest changes for the following edition is the move from Fernhill Farm to Todenham Manor Farm in the Cotswolds. The organisers have emphasised that the move is intended to preserve the festival’s intimate atmosphere, compact stage layout and community identity while providing more campsite space and a more central location.

Official tickets

Official ArcTanGent 2027 tickets are available through the festival’s ticketing system, with weekend, day, VIP and other ticket options listed through the official website. Monthly payment plans are also offered for selected 2027 tickets.

The festival’s official ticket page also provides access to the ticket FAQ and payment-plan information. Visitors should purchase through the official ArcTanGent ticket route rather than unauthorised sellers.

For ticket-related enquiries, the festival provides tickets@arctangent.co.uk.

Where exact 2027 prices are not displayed publicly, the latest published third-party festival listing gives a general ArcTanGent ticket reference of approximately $202.11 USD, based on a £150 historical price. This is a historical reference figure and should not be treated as the confirmed price of every 2027 ticket category.
