The Dot to Dot Festival is an annual music festival taking place since 2005, currently held at various venues in Nottingham, Bristol[1] and previously Manchester across May bank holiday weekend.

Previous artists that have performed at the festival include Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Florence & The Machine, Lewis Capaldi, London Grammar, Wolf Alice, Years & Years, Beach House, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Fontaines D.C., Ghetts, Metronomy and many more.

Unlike weekend music festivals such as the Reading and Leeds Festivals, there is no artist rotation – all artists play one city the first day and travel to the other for the following day.

The festival has just announced artists for their 2025 event include The Horrors, Fat Dog, SPRINTS, BIG SPECIAL, Kate Bollinger, Låpsley, Honeyglaze and more, all set to head to Bristol on 24th May 2025 and Nottingham on 25th May 2025.
