We’re SO proud of @Mission Creep for their awesome performance at @Arctangent Festival last weekend! The band applied for and won the opportunity we created with ArcTanGent, earlier this year - and they just absolutely smashed it! Well done Mission Creep!
Go check them out on Spotify (the music in the video is not them).
