The Chemical Brothers, The Flaming Lips and Future Islands have been revealed as headliners for this year’s Bluedot Festival.
“Our mission is to not only erode the boundaries between science, culture, art and technology but to also highlight the beauty and fragility of our planet Earth, and what a better way to achieve this by opening proceedings with such a remarkable and enlightening spectacle,” director Ben Robinson says of the event. “It’s going to be truly incredible and a real festival highlight.
“To be able to offer to these curious minds the return of The Flaming Lips is one thing but to set the stage for The Chemical Brothers to showcase their innovative and ever evolving artistry as both musical innovators and purveyors of world class light and visual stage productions is a true honour and will be a weekend not to miss.”
Bluedot is returning to Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire for a third year between July 19th-22nd. Plenty more acts have been confirmed on the line-up, these include Public Service Broadcasting, Gary Numan, Unkle, The Orb, Nadine Shah and Hookworms.
