ArcTanGent 2026 is underway, and the opening Thursday has been documented in a photo gallery published by Punktastic, with images credited to Paul Lyme covering the festival's first day.

Held in the United Kingdom, ArcTanGent has become one of the most sharply defined events on the British festival calendar, gathering acts from math rock, post-rock, post-hardcore and adjacent experimental corners of heavy music. Thursday traditionally serves as the opening stretch, with a tighter schedule before the bulk of the weekend programme.

The photo coverage is the material currently available from that first day. Further galleries typically follow as the festival continues, expanding the visual record of the performances across the remainder of the weekend.
