Radar Festival adds TesseracT as headliners to massive line-up | Music | Entertainment

Radar Festival 2024 is shaping up to become one of the best editions of the event in history. 

Last year it was confirmed synth icons The Midnight would be headlining one of the weekender’s evenings. 

This week, it has been announced they will not be alone. Prog metal icons TesseracT are also taking to the stage during the event as another headliner. 

Festival co-organiser Catherine Jackson-Smith said of TesseracT’s inclusion in the festival: “Our second headliners are pioneers of the modern prog scene, TesseracT. This announcement is a little closer to home for me personally, as I met the band in 2010 when they first started playing at my own venue, The Lounge Bar in Alton. They instantly stood out as exceptional artists and through that friendship, I’ve stood at the sides watching the stage sizes and fans increase steadily since, looking forward to the day returning when we can collaborate on a show again.

“Together, we’ve been working on an immersive experience for RADAR, this will be something special and not to be missed!”

“The rest of our line-up additions showcase the health of this modern progressive scene,” Catherine added. “And our commitment to platforming new bands such as Vower (built from Toska, Black Peaks and Palm Reader!), and introducing a wide variety of music, from pop synths in the form of Kyros right through to post-hardcore from The Fall of Troy.”

The Midnight and TesseracT follow 2023’s edition of Radar Festival, which left music fans completely enamoured.

Mystery boys Sleep Token took to the stage on the first night, cementing the weekend as the place to be for up and coming artists with massive followings.

This is a particularly powerful announcement for The Midnight, from Los Angeles California, as it will be their first-ever UK festival appearance. 

We recently spoke to them about this headline slot, and what it means to them to be honoured like this. 

The band are no strangers to the UK, though; they have a passionate following and have continued to play bigger and bigger venues each year they return.

With their latest album, Heroes, selling more copies than any of their other albums, this could be the beginning of The Midnight’s reign over Britain, starting at Radar Festival 2024 from July 26-28.

Also on the line-up are some massive artists including Sungazer, Blood Command, Dirty Loops, Tribe of Ghosts, and the monumental Giant Walker.
