The latest wave of names for Dot to Dot Festival 2026 has just been revealed – and sees an incredible array of local talent announced. Once again championing artists from in and around Bristol and Nottingham, more than 130* new names have been added to the festival.
Amongst the names joining the Bristol edition on Saturday 23rd May are Grandmas House, Hunny Buzz, Krooked Tongue, Chase the Wild, Better Heaven, Factor 50, Erotic Secrets of Pompeii, Shrink, Paper Crowns, Chimp, Hamarita, Anna Colette, Glasshouse, Pack of Animals, Harmer Jays and Eve Appleton Band.
These new names join the likes of Lambrini Girls, Fcukers, Ratboys, Newdad and Mandy, Indiana playing across multiple venues across the May Bank Holiday weekend.
Speaking of the new names, Dot to Dot Festival booker Ben Ryles said: "We're thrilled to once again support the local scenes in Bristol and Nottingham. They are a vital part of the musical culture of these cities, and to shine a light on these incredible acts is something we're continuously proud of. Idles, Hard Life, London Grammar, Jake Bugg and lots of other local artists have played the festival before going on to play larger venues and it's amazing to be part of that journey. Grassroots venues and artists are at the centre of Dot to Dot's ethos, and we can't wait to see these artists thrive."
Following last year's sold out Bristol event, Dot to Dot 2026 is the fastest selling edition ever with the Bank Holiday weekend set to host the biggest celebration of new music and giving a platform for breakthrough artists to play on stages in the South West. Tickets are on sale now via alttickets.com and priced at £35 (plus booking fee).
