Dot To Dot Festival is established as the UK’s Premier Festival for unearthing and showcasing the hottest new talent around, alongside established acts from across the globe. 2016 marks the Festival’s 11th edition and will see it returning to Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham from the 27-29th May. Dot To Dot’s ever eclectic line-up is set to make this year one of the biggest and best in the festival’s history.
Among the fourth additions to the line-up are accomplished 22 year old soulful singer songwriter LAURENCE TAYLOR, London based electronic pop artist JONES, intimate newcomers CAPE CUB, ambient electronic 6-piece PHORIA and experimental US psych band NIGHT BEATS.

Highlights of this announcement include Mancunians DELAMERE and PALE WAVES; Bristol locals FENNE LILLY, VAN ZELLER and ROZELLE as well as EYRE LLEW, GEORGIE and SAME STREETS from Nottingham.
