Dot To Dot 2024 is just around the corner, with Jockstrap returning as this year’s headliners, joined by Wunderhorse headlining the second stage, along with The Magic Gang, Antony Szmierek, Abby Sage, Bleach Lab, The Bug Club, Charlotte Plank, The Dare, Hovvdy, Infinity Song, Jianbo, Jgrret, Panic Shack, Pastel, Picture Parlour, Tim Atlas and many more.
