Award-winning Bluedot traverses the cosmic outer reaches of the festival format, bringing music, art, science and space together for a spectacle like no other.
Set against a backdrop of the Lovell Telescope in Cheshire, it embraces experimental sounds and live science workshops, talks and comedy across four days from 19 to 22 July.
This year’s line-up features The Chemical Brothers, Flaming Lips, music from BBC documentary Blue Planet II and Future Islands, plus Helena Hauff, Snapped Ankles, Baloji, Boy Azooga, Gary Newman, Nadine Shah and loads more.
Also at the festival this year, PRS Foundation will present the second annual Oram Awards.
