From ARCTANGENT Festival organiser and booker, James Scarlett –
“We’ve been trying to book Godspeed for a number of years so we’re delighted to finally bring them back to ATG for the first time since they played in 2016. I don’t think it’s an understatement to say they are literally one of the best post-rock bands on the planet and a perfect ArcTanGent headliner. This is going to be a truly unique experience.”
