03.08.21 | Hopefully discover some new bands too! Hyped. |
GhandhiLion
03.08.21 | This looks like a dream lineup made up by a sput user. Too good to be true |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | It's not man, look: https://arctangent.co.uk/line-up/ |
Artuma
03.08.21 | wish i could go there one day, killer lineup every year
don't mean to sound like a buzzkill but unfortunately i feel like it'll be cancelled this year after all |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | It's not man, it's going ahead!
We have a road map out of lockdown, means all restrictions are lifted by June.
Festival is in August m/ |
dedex
03.08.21 | Dude yes this year imma go |
Ectier
03.08.21 | The lineup is so fucking stacked, it makes me very very sad as an Australian |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | @dedex yes man! Hopefully see you there!
It's definitely the best UK festival in terms of line up consistency, crazy really. |
Dewinged
03.08.21 | Jesus Pleb, add to those Perturbator, Caspian, Jaga Jazzist, A.A. Williams, Kairon, Irse!, Barrens, Psychonaut (don't miss these guys!), Paranoid Void (mah girls!), Bent Knee, Catbamboo (swell dudes, played with them in Osaka last year).
Really great line up indeed, damn! |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | I haven't heard of most of the others, but will definitely give them a shot!
Always come away from a fest with a couple of new bands I like. |
dedex
03.08.21 | Hopefully so! I'm not British so I bet it's gonna be a bit more complicated for me to attend, but I desperately need a festival |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | Have you been over here before? Why you coming over from? |
Dewinged
03.08.21 | If you are short on schedule and knowing your taste more or less Pleb, I would say you will like Psychonaut and Kairon; Irse! for sure. |
Bedex
03.08.21 | m/ m/ |
LunaticSoul
03.08.21 | I have my tickets since ATG 2019...which I had the pleasure to fly in to... Now considering all that's happening, I have a sinking feeling I will not only not attend this year's edition, but also that my ticket will be worth jackshit since they will say it's my problem I can't fly over to the UK... Meh |
dedex
03.08.21 | Oh yeah been there plenty of time! The festival is so appealing + a good friend of mine lives there + my sis works in Aberdeen, all good reasons to spend some time in the UK |
Bedex
03.08.21 | 'a good friend of mine' |
dedex
03.08.21 | salut |
Bedex
03.08.21 | he la bas kesta
edit: oh l'edit sournois |
nightbringer
03.08.21 | Definitely need to make it to this festival at some point. |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | I feel sorry for you guys coming in from overseas reading the above, hopefully covid restrictions will be lifted for everyone by then! |
Artuma
03.08.21 | dedex and bedex once again confusing the shit out of me |
Bedex
03.08.21 | oops
Dedes where art thou |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | Lol, the trifecta. |
Pheromone
03.08.21 | all of my friends have bagged tickets for boomtown this year - i, a fool, left it too late. sold out.
got tickets to a couple gigs though, and the uk gov have given a date for literally everything to be open supposedly. 21st june. |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | Yeah they have man, whether they stick to that remains to be seen but fingers crossed! |
Pheromone
03.08.21 | jesus, the political suicide if that date doesn't stick would be massive.
christ, they'd probably still get away with that w/ the poltical state of this cuckold country. |
dedex
03.08.21 | come to ArcTangent with us Phero! |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | Lol, not like the govt to not keep their word... |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | I SECOND THAT |
Pheromone
03.08.21 | fuck yes im down
never knew it existed i am a fool hanging around the wrong circles. you guys are my circle now |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | It would be an honour my dear Phero. |
BenThatsMyJamin
03.08.21 | Went in 2019; was sick. Pleb do yourself a favour and go see Curse These Metal Hands whilst you're there (and listen to the EP regardless for that matter). Seeing that EP performed live would actually probably be the main reason I'd buy a ticket, above all these bands. |
gschwen
03.08.21 | The Locust are still kicking around eh. That's awesome.
I saw them open for DEP about fifteen years ago and they were selling a Locust baby crib at their merch table. |
LunaticSoul
03.08.21 | 2019 mud Meshuggah moshpit represent
Favourite moment for me though was that beautiful TTNG full Animals reunion. loved it.
Anyway, if someone remembers a guy with pink unicorn "ears" in the silent disco drunk celebrating his birthday on the second day, that was me lol. Not as memorable as bunny onesie wearing dude, I know, but just in case |
gschwen
03.08.21 | Also very cool that earthtone9 will be there. I'm guessing the festival is named after their record, which is some super high praise. Karl Middleton is one of the biggest, underrated voices in rock. |
evilford
03.08.21 | Nice lineup
Idk how the year will play out with covid, and yeah don't want to be a buzzkill but im kinda with art, there's technically a decent chance this gets cancelled due to covid. I get that there's a "roadmap" to opening back up but that doesn't account for literally countless unknown scenarios that could come to pass. I think it's generally too early to start scheduling this kind of stuff but im sure they want their money
Maybe it's different enough there than in the US tho, im definitely not actively hoping for it to get cancelled, just feel like it's a little early in this knee-deep pandemic to schedule a festival like this |
BigPleb
03.08.21 | It just may be a problem if overseas travel still has restrictions tbh. |
Demon of the Fall
03.08.21 | Blimey, this is a bloody insane line-up! Hope it all goes ahead. |
nightbringer
03.08.21 | Sput gathering at Arctangent some year would be fun. Or a disturbing blurring of boundaries I'd rather keep in tact. |
BigPleb
03.09.21 | Lol nightbringer. |
