Touring Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham, three of the UKs more music savvy cities, from the 24th to the 26th May, Dot To Dot’s ever eclectic line-up gives the festival-goer the opportunity to dash around the city catching as many awesome acts as possible over 14 hours!

Dot To Dot Organiser Anton Lockwood (of DHP Group) said: “2013 is the best year for new music in a long, long time. There is so much emerging talent around that at Dot to Dot we’ve decided to increase the number of venues to the most we’ve ever used so we can squeeze them all in! Many highlights amongst them: but very happy to welcome great artists like To Kill A King, fresh from touring with Bastille & Dog Is Dead, BBC Introducing starlet Indiana, one of the hottest acts in the world right now In The Valley Below and lots lots more. In addition this year’s Dot to Dot really shows our commitment to grassroots new music including more emerging artists from our home cities than ever before, and introducing innovative partnerships with key people who help enable new talent.”

Further additions to the line-up include:

Hawkeyes // Indiana // Phildel // To Kill A King // Sam Bradley
Alice Jemina // Bear’s Den // Catfish & Bottleman // Ellie Rose // Feathers // Hector // Kagoule //
