Set to take over Bristol and Nottingham on the late May bank holiday, Dot To Dot Festival will once again be showcasing the brightest and best live acts with more than 200 performances across each city.

Following an incredible response to the recently announced local talent, Dot To Dot Festival is on track for its fastest ever selling year with tickets set to sell out in advance. Bristol sold out on the day last year – for 2026; Super Early Bird, Early Bird and Second Release tickets are now SOLD OUT. Latest tickets are priced at £35 (plus booking fees).

The multi-venue festival will again provide a genre-spanning line-up in two of the UK’s most exciting and vibrant music cities.

Conrad Rogan, booker for Dot To Dot Festival and DHP Family said: “Dot To Dot Festival is a highlight of the festival calendar for artists and gig-goers alike. We’re delighted to finalise our 2026 edition with some incredible established live acts like Brògeal and Rocket, as well as showcasing some brilliant new names across the two cities. We can’t wait to celebrate in Bristol and Nottingham.”
