Award-winning Dot to Dot Festival has announced its first wave of artists for its May bank holiday event in Bristol. The one-day festival is known in Bristol for bringing some of the best rising stars of the music world onto the stage since it first started in 2005.
Organisers had a successful 2022 summer comeback after 2021's event was postponed until September and is now fresh from being shortlisted in the Best Metropolitan Festival category at the UK Festival Awards. The festival is hosted at several indoor music venues across the city, which are yet to be announced, coming to Bristol on May 27 and then heading to Newcastle the day after.
In 2023 the festival will continue its tradition of spotlighting the very best emerging talent in the UK. Leeds post-punk band Yard Act has been selected as next year's headliners on Saturday, May 27, who have met success this year with their Mercury Award-nominated debut record The Overload.
