We continue our interviews from ArcTanGent this year, and from the last edition the festival will hold at Fernhill Farm. We caught up with Stefan de Graef (Guitar/Vocals), Thomas Michiels (Bass/Vocals) and Harm Peters (Drums) of Psychonaut backstage after their set to chat in detail about World Maker – how it was shaped by becoming fathers and losing them, the outro that became an intro, and why this festival keeps pulling them back.

Our next interview from 2000trees 2026 is with Pool Kids, featuring the entire band: Christine Goodwyne (vocals/guitar), Caden Clinton (drums), Andy Anaya (guitar) & Nicolette Alvarez (bass). We chatted about their relentless US and UK tours, prevailing influences, favourite bands, and whether they might moonlight as their hardcore alter ego once more.
