Dot to Dot Festival Tickets

Dot to Dot Festival is a pioneering two-city music celebration that brings together indie, electro, and alternative acts across multiple venues in Bristol and Nottingham. Founded in 2005 as a Nottingham-only event, it expanded to Bristol and Manchester, creating a dynamic, city-wide experience. A single wristband unlocks access to a diverse lineup across several venues on both days.

In 2025, Dot to Dot celebrated its 20th anniversary with editions on 24–25 May 2025, headlined by Fat Dog and The Horrors. The festival has earned recognition from the UK Festival Awards for Best Metropolitan Festival (2014) and Best Festival For Emerging Talent (2017), alongside UK Music Awards nominations and wins in 2023. The 2026 edition is set for 23–24 May 2026, continuing the festival’s tradition of uncovering acts before they break through.
