We Punktastic folks are big fans of the wonderful ArcTanGent and the stellar line-up that they put together every year, and we are delighted to exclusively announce today that the incredible The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die have officially joined the bill.
The festival has been unveiling bands as part of a seven day advent calendar, announcing performances from Heilung, Pupil Slicer, ’68, Tokky Horror and Birds In Row for the 2023 line-up over the last few days. The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die are the treat behind door number six, bringing their wonderful blend of atmospheric emo to ArcTanGent for the first time.
The Connecticut group were founded in 2009, establishing themselves as a unique voice in their genre with debut album ‘Whenever, If Ever’ in 2013, setting them apart from the pack and earning critical acclaim. Fast-forward to now and they’ve got a whole host of EP’s, splits and collaborative works under their belt as well as four full length records, with their latest release ‘Illusory Walls’ displaying their most ambitious set of songs to date. The band are returning to the UK next year for the first time in five years, and their set at ArcTanGent serve as the perfect book-end to their long-awaited return.
Keep an eye on ArcTanGent’s socials tomorrow for the seventh and final line-up reveal!
ArcTanGent will take place at Fernhill Farm on August 16th-20th 2023. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
