Ellie Goulding and Mystery Jets confirmed for Dot to Dot Festival
Posted on 7 Mar 2010 09:00 to category : Band / Celebrity News
Acoustic guitar player Ellie Goulding and indie band Mystery Jets are among the first names to be confirmed for the Dot to Dot Festival.
To mark the fifth year of the event, Dot to Dot has expanded to a third city, with Manchester joining Bristol and Nottingham in playing host to a multitude of acts.
The event will take place between May 29th and 31st in various venues across each city.
Goulding told the Nottingham Evening Post that she is coping with her recent success at the Brit Awards, in which she won the Critics' Choice Award, by ignoring the media attention.
"I'm basically in a world [of my own], being oblivious to it all," the acoustic guitar player said.
Other bands who will also be playing alongside Goulding at the event include Los Campesinos!, Blood Red Shoes and Twisted Wheel.
Last year's Dot to Dot included performances from the likes of The xx, Mumford and Sons and Friendly Fires.
