These new names join the likes of LAMBRINI GIRLS, FCUKERS, RATBOYS, NEWDAD and MANDY, INDIANA playing across multiple venues across the May Bank Holiday weekend.
We’re thrilled to once again support the local scenes in Bristol and Nottingham. They are a vital part of the musical culture of these cities, and to shine a light on these incredible acts is something we’re continuously proud of. Idles, Hard Life, London Grammar, Jake Bugg and lots of others local artists have played the festival before going on to play larger venues and it’s amazing to be part of that journey. Grassroots venues and artists are at the centre of Dot To Dot’s ethos, and we can’t wait to see these artists thrive – Ben Ryles, Dot To Dot Festival booker
