Dot to Dot Festival 2011 lineup & venues

Dot To Dot 2011 is shaping up to be the tri-city festival’s finest outing yet with a wealth of new talent joining the bill.

With a heavy line-up including Hurts, We Are Scientists, The Naked And Famous, The Joy Formidable, Ed Sheeran, Darwin Deez, Dananananaykroyd and many more confirmed to travel between Bristol, Nottingham and Manchester from May 28th – 30th.
