bluedot has released the first wave of artists for this year with Björk, Groove Armada and Metronomy headlining the fifth instalment of the award-winning music, science and culture event.
One of the most influential and ground-breaking musicians of all time, Björk’s festival exclusive set will close bluedot with a uniquely commissioned performance alongside Manchester’s famed Halle Orchestra featuring incredible bespoke projections on the Lovell Telescope.
Also topping the bill are indie-electro giants, Metronomy. Following rave reviews for their latest studio album “Metronomy Forever” the electropop pioneers will take to the main stage on Saturday to deliver a wonky nu-disco set chock full of dancefloor masterpieces and stone-cold crowd-pleasers.
Confirmed for Friday night is one of the planet’s best-loved dance acts, Groove Armada. With a career spanning more than 20 years featuring chart-topping hits such as “Superstylin” and “I See You Baby” it’s safe to say their live show will open bluedot 2020 with a party!
Other confirmed acts include psychedelic space rockers Spiritualized, disco diva Roisin Murphy, techno fusionist Squarepusher and electronic/ambient originals Tangerine Dream.
bluedot will take place at Cheshire’s iconic Jodrell Bank Observatory between 23rd – 26th July 2020.
The full science, arts and culture and family programmes will be announced in the coming weeks. For tickets and information click here.
