Dot To Dot add Wild Beasts, and Fionn Regan

Wild Beasts and Fionn Regan are amongst the latest acts announced for the multi-city, multi-venue Dot to Dot festival taking place over the last bank holiday in May.

The festival which has expanded to a three-day event, adding Manchester, to the firmly established Bristol and Nottingham dates will play host to Wild Beasts, Fionn Regan, Field Music (Bristol/Manchester only), Lights, 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Rox, Johnny Foreigner, Dead Confederate, and Dan Sartain.

The triumvirate line-up is further bolstered by the addition of Wild Beasts, Fionn Regan, Field Music, Lights, 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Rox, Johnny Foreigner, Dead Confederate, Dan Sartain, Kirsty Almeida, The Cheek, De Staat, Dog Is Dead, Fol Chen, Fun., Gentleman's Dub Club, Growing, Lawson, Lunar Youth, Morning Parade, The Red Suns, The Ruby Suns, Small Black, White Hinterland, Wolf Gang, and Jamie Woon.

Festival organiser Anton Lockwood (of DHP Group) said today "We're very excited with the latest additions to the Dot To Dot line up! Wild Beasts had one of the most critically acclaimed albums of last year, which has just continued to grow in stature. Field Music might yet top the polls for this year too. Fionn Regan's rousing folk is going from strength to strength, whilst rockers are going to love Eighties Matchbox, Dan Sartain and Dead Confederate. Lights is the hugely popular new-synth sound of young Canada and is sure to be a hit. And if you love to hear a truly stunning singer, don't miss Rox! With these new additions we've brought a great deal more strength and diversity to the bill, we can't wait!"

The previously confirmed acts include Mystery Jets, Beach House, Zane Lowe, Los Campesinos!, Twisted Wheel, Liars, Blood Red Shoes, Washed Out, Egyptian Hip Hop, Jakwob, Chapel Club, Daisy Dares You, Lonelady, and Doorly.

The Manchester Dot To Dot Festival will take place from Saturday 29th May until Monday 31st May in various venues. Bristol hosts the event on the Saturday, with a similar event the day after in Nottingham, and the Monday night is the turn of Manchester to play host.
