Dot to Dot Festival has unveiled the first lineup of artists set to perform at their 2026 edition.
The first 30 names confirmed include Lambrini Girls, Fcukers and NewDad who will take to the stage on Sunday, May 26, 2026.
Previous Dot To Dot line-ups have seen performances from The 1975, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Foals, Wolf Alice, Lewis Capaldi, Mumford and Sons, Florence + The Machine, Yard Act, Wunderhorse, Alvvays, and many, many more.
Having already graced the covers of DIY, NME, Kerrang! And NOTION, Lambrini Girls dropped their long-awaited debut album, ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’, via City Slang at the start of 2025. Interlacing political commentary with their unique brand of magnificent instrumentation, the Brighton-based duo deftly invoke danger, excitement and intrigue.
Fresh from opening for Tame Impala across the ‘Deadbeat Tour’, electronic duo Fcukers are known for their euphoric soundscapes that are built around 90s/00s house music, tasteful trip-hop, big beat, indie rock and everything in between.
Since their formation in 2018, Galway-formed trio NewDad have continuously shifted their own boundaries to develop into a powerhouse. From lo-fi, shoegaze beginnings with 2021 debut EP ‘Waves’, to their grungey, alt-rock sophomore album ‘Altar’ this year – NewDad have remained prolific in seamlessly shifting between anger-fuelled anthemics and intimate and melancholic introspection.
Also added to the line up are Murkage Dave, Vancouver quartet Meltt, Canadian outfit La Sécurité and Toronto based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Clothesline From Hell.
Conrad Rogan, booker for Dot To Dot Festival and DHP Family, believes this first wave highlights the importance they place on not defining the event solely by the artists performing – but the continued championing and celebrating of emerging artists building a strong reputation in the live scene.
He said: “We are proud to continue to bring festival-goers in Nottingham the very best in emerging talent from across the UK and beyond. Dot To Dot Festival’s ethos is to give the freshest acts with huge potential a platform, and I am delighted to once again do that in 2026.”
This exciting first wave of names is the beginning of another edition of Dot To Dot Festival. Super Early Bird and Early Bird tickets are now SOLD OUT – with Second Release tickets on sale now for just £30 (plus booking fees).
