The UK festival has unveiled its third wave of acts.
Helmed by Crack Magazine cover star Shabaka Hutchings, jazz quartet Sons of Kemet will be joining Kraftwerk, Omar Souleyman and Anna Calvi on the line-up for Bluedot‘s fourth edition. Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has also been confirmed for a DJ set at the festival, and other newly-announced acts include God Colony, Emma-Jean Thackray, Josey Rebelle, Willow, Peach and Leifur James. Furthermore, Nyege Nyege Tapes will be on board to host a showcase featuring Slikback, Otim Alpha and Leo P-Layeng on the line-up.
Bluedot returns to Cheshire’s Jodrell Bank Observatory, home to the Lovell Telescope, on 18-21 July. Aside from music, the festival’s programme will cover the intersection of culture and science.
Day tickets are now available for £59.75. Head to the festival’s website for more information, and revisit Crack’s Issue 96 cover story with Shabaka Hutchings.
