Here are ten acts it would be criminal to miss out on.
Mystery Jets
The post-punk four-piece, hailing from London, are no strangers to Dot to Dot, making this year their fourth appearance at the festival. It may seem tedious but with their long-awaited album Curve Of The Earth having been released in January, their sound has evolved becoming more psychedelic and fresh.
With their esteemed reputation, they are sure to be crowd-pleasers and are an admirable choice of headliners.
