Dot To Dot announces first wave of acts for 2025 lineup

Dot To Dot has confirmed the first names set to play next year’s edition - a two-day knees-up in Nottingham and Bristol that will mark the festival’s 20th anniversary. 

Leading today’s announcement are The Horrors: having recently announced details of ‘Night Life’, their first album in seven years, the band will return to D2D as special guests after headlining in 2018. Also on the bill for 2025 are notorious party-starters Fat Dog (who dropped a new single, ‘Peace Song’, this week), live show connoisseurs Sprints, and DIY Class of 2024 members BIG SPECIAL. 

Among some of the newer acts, meanwhile, are Irish garage punks Adore, Bedford risers Dog Race, and soul sensation Nectar Woode, while Saddest Factory signee jasmine.4.t and So Young favourites Cardinals will also be making appearances. 

Due to take place in Bristol on Saturday 24th May and in Nottingham on Sunday 26th May, Dot To Dot 2025 is already shaping up to be a suitably special 20th birthday bash. Tickets are on sale now; you can find out more and check out the full lineup for next year (so far!) via the festival’s website.
