Nottingham Dot To Dot 2026: Latest wave of new acts announced for this year's festival
The latest wave of names for Dot To Dot Festival 2026 has 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.
East Midlands local acts heading to Nottingham on Sunday, May 24, include Sancho Panza, Leah Wilcox, People Laughing, Cheap Dirty Horse, Archy & The Astronauts, Pict, Drury Hill, Rainbow Frog Biscuits, Manic State, The Harbours, Emidora and Dura Matter.
The new names join the likes of Lambrini Girls, Fcukers, Ratboys, Newdad and Mandy Indiana playing across multiple venues across the late May bank holiday weekend.
Ben Ryles, festival booker, 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 others 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.”
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 East Midlands.
