The multi‑venue favourite returns to Nottingham
Dot To Dot Festival has just locked in its 2026 edition, unveiling a fresh wave of artists including Brògeal, Rocket and more than 15 new additions, joining previously announced headliners Lambrini Girls, Fcukers and NewDad.
Returning over the late May bank holiday, Dot To Dot will once again take over Nottingham with its trademark all‑day, multi‑venue format, spotlighting the most exciting artists breaking across the UK and beyond.
Expect wall‑to‑wall music, with over 200 performances across the city as emerging talent rubs shoulders with some of the most talked‑about live acts on the circuit.
Following a huge response to its recently announced batch of local artists, Dot To Dot is shaping up to be its fastest‑selling year yet. The demand speaks for itself: Super Early Bird, Early Bird and Second Release tickets have already sold out. Remaining tickets are on sale now, priced at £35 plus booking fees — with sell‑out firmly on the horizon.
Staying true to its roots, the festival will once again deliver a genre‑spanning line‑up, transforming Nottingham into a buzzing hub of guitars, electronics, post‑punk, pop and everything in between. From sweat‑drenched club shows to intimate showcase sets, Dot To Dot continues to pride itself on being a rite of passage for both new artists and adventurous gig‑goers.
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 Nottingham.”
Confirmed Nottingham venues so far include Rock City, Rescue Rooms, Bodega, Stealth, Metronome, Rough Trade, The Old Bus Depot, The Palais and many more, cementing the festival’s reputation for turning the city centre into one giant, walkable festival site.
With a stacked line‑up, dwindling tickets and a city‑wide takeover incoming, Dot To Dot 2026 is shaping up to be one of the festival’s biggest outings yet.
