Discover our award-winning annual festival of music, science, arts, culture and the exploration of space.

Set against the backdrop of the iconic Lovell Telescope, Bluedot combines a truly stellar line-up of music with a ground-breaking programme of live science experiments and exhibits, family activities, expert talks and immersive artworks.

“A boundary-breaking blend of science, music, and technology” The Guardian

After last summer’s festival debut, this year we’re looking forward to welcoming a host of new and returning musicians, scientists, and artists for an even bigger celebration of music, science and cosmic culture.

Look out for some incredible science programming to explore, including the popular DotTalks series which will include presentations about the latest innovations and discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology, as well as a programme of technology and culture-based talks.

You’ll love the Star Field too. This science marketplace, curated by us, and peppered with street food vendors, live experiments, performances, and science engagement activities, was hugely popular last year and proved to be great fun for families and young children.

Weekend Tickets are currently on sale from just £159 (adults include camping for Friday, Saturday & Sunday nights). Day Tickets will be on sale at a later date.
