This is a special addition to commemorate 20 years of the festival and our rich tradition of bringing festival goers the very best in emerging talent.”
Across its 20-year history, the festival have platformed artists like Dua Lipa and Sam Fender during the earliest days of their careers. Festival booker Scott Kennedy said: “As is tradition, we’re platforming new artists who have played the festival before to come back and headline, following the footsteps of artists like Wunderhorse, Yard Act, Squid, Jockstrap and more.”
He added: “Now in its 20th year, Dot To Dot has always been at the forefront of championing new scenes and sounds, nurturing the festival headliners of tomorrow.”
The Horrors’ performance will follow the release of their recently announced new album ‘Night Life’ along with a new lineup. Vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb remain as founding members, with original guitarist Joshua Hayward and new members Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums joining.
‘Night Life’ is out March 21 via Fiction Records and available to pre-order/ pre-save here.
