Nottingham haunts include Rock City, Nottingham Trent Student Union, Rescue Rooms, Stealth and The Bodega. Whilst Manchester's venues will be Academy 1, Academy 2, Academy 3, Club Academy, The Deaf Institute and Sound Control.

Commenting on the new line-up additions Dot To Dot Organiser Anton Lockwood said: "This is what Dot To Dot is all about! The exciting new bands who are announced today add to a strong line-up of established acts (and the odd new one we've sneaked out already). In previous years people like Mumford & Sons, The xx, Klaxons, Temper Trap and Foals have all played breakthrough sets at Dot To Dot. Who'll be your pick from this year's crop of talent?"

They join the acts previously confirmed who are We Are Scientists, Guillemots, Hurts, The Joy Formidable, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, The Naked And Famous, Braids, Cults, Darwin Deez, Mona, Ed Sheeran, The Phoenix Foundation, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and more with many more still to be announced.

The 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.

Tickets are priced at £20 for Manchester, and £25 for Nottingham and Bristol. To buy tickets, click here.
