Since its creation in 2005, Dot To Dot has established itself as one of the UK’s leading inner city festivals.
The festival sees itself spread over 3 days, with each day offering a chance for a different city to hold host to a flood of some of the most vibrant acts that are seeping into the music scene right now.
Dot To Dot will brace Nottingham, Manchester and Bristol with its musical aura, showcasing the brightest new talent that’s currently emerging and providing a platform for more established acts to display their grandeur. Previous line-ups have seen the likes of Foals, The 1975, Ed Sheeran and The xx perform, so the festival really does know a thing or two about cherry picking the very best newcomers.
This year sees the guardians of indie Mystery Jets take the accolade of headliner, who will undoubtedly woo the crowd with their infectious form of hazy pop-rock. They will be joined by co-headliners US alt-rockers Augustines, who’re set to provide some anthemic moments to proceedings. They will be accompanied The Temper Trap, who really do not require an introduction.
However much of the focus of this year’s festival is being placed on those up and coming bands who’re currently taking the music scene by storm. Rat Boy has been making waves with his DIY rapping, which is infused with some quirky pop melodies that see his fan base revel at any sight of him. Joining him will be the likes of Sundara Karma, Spring King, The Sherlocks and Formation – acts that are currently making some serious waves in what is presently a heavily saturated scene.
Dot To Dot festival is the perfect excuse to get your festival season rolling and with an incredibly diverse roster there’s sure to be something to meet everyone’s needs.
The festival will visit Manchester on 27th May, Bristol on 28th May and then Nottingham on 29th May.
