The full line-up for the return of the Bluedot Festival to Jodrell Bank this summer has been confirmed. 80s icon Grace Jones, dance legends Leftfield and Pavement and acclaimed singer Roisin Murphy top the music bill for the return of the "carnival of music, science and cosmic culture."
They join the already announced Max Richter and the BBC Concert Orchestra at the iconic Jodrell Bank Observatory when it returns from 20–23 July 2023. The family-friendly Bluedot festival takes place in fields in the shadow of the huge telescope in South Cheshire.
Lo-fi pioneers Pavement will headline Saturday at bluedot with their only UK performance of 2023. Having headlined Primavera 2022 before embarking on a completely sold-out UK tour that took in four nights at London’s Roundhouse, Pavement are now firmly established as one of indie’s most legendary groups.
