Dot To Dot Festival has confirmed its full 2026 line-up with a third and final wave of acts, adding Brògeal, Rocket and more than 15 fresh names to a bill headlined by Lambrini Girls, Fcukers and NewDad. The multi-venue metropolitan festival returns to Bristol on Saturday 23rd May and Nottingham on Sunday 24th May for the late May bank holiday.
The new additions join a stacked roster of over 200 performers that has been steadily assembled across three announcement waves. Brògeal and Rocket are the headline names in this final drop, joined by Aifric, Arima Ederra, Bloodworm, Brooki, Dead Dads Club, Dirty Nice, Ellie O’Neill, Jawdropped, James Dixon, Kamran Khan, Mel Blue, Midding, Milo Korbenski, Mouth Ulcers, Nori, Tatyana and Tommy Barlow.
Ticket demand has been exceptional across the campaign. Super Early Bird, Early Bird and Second Release tickets have now all sold out, with the latest tier priced at £35 (plus booking fees). Bristol sold out entirely on the day in 2025, and organisers say 2026 is on track to be the festival’s fastest-ever selling year, with the remaining tickets expected to go before the event.
Those still looking to attend should move quickly. Latest tickets are available now at www.dottodotfestival.co.uk, with the festival urging fans to follow its social media channels on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X for stage split announcements in the lead-up to the event.
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 in Bristol and Nottingham.”
This final announcement rounds out a year-long build for the 2026 edition. The first wave, announced in December, introduced Lambrini Girls, Fcukers and NewDad as the leading names alongside 27 other acts including Eaves Wilder, Mandy Indiana and Ratboys. A second wave in March then added over 130 artists with a strong focus on local talent from both host cities, with booker Ben Ryles highlighting the festival’s history of platforming future stars such as Idles, Hard Life and London Grammar before they graduated to far larger stages.
