Our favourite musical day of the year is a matter of days away and we can’t wait for Dot To Dot Festival 2019! Whilst other stages host the finest bigger bands, we like to shine a light on some new bands you should be listening to this Summer. Where to even start though?! We’ve saved you the trouble and we’ve gone through all the bands playing at The Bodega for this year’s edition of the festival so you can check out what we have to offer.

Upstairs – Doors: 12.45
00.00 – 00.30 – Mini Mansions: Gearing up to release their 3rd album this Summer, LA’s finest super-trio are back with their hip-swaying rock’n’roll and their downright poppiest material yet. Mini Mansions are at their prime – open, honest, and full of real tangible emotion but counterbalancing those feelings with musically fun songs. FFO: Miles Kane and Arctic Monkeys.
23.00 – 23.30 – Fatherson: Big hooks and pop-rock riffs from Scotland’s finest. Released their ace third album ‘Sum of All Your Parts’ late last year. FFO: Catfish & The Bottlemen and Twin Atlantic.

17.00 – 17.30 – Brad stank: It’s time to chill out with this Scouse crooner that creates lo-fi, slacker jams, or as he likes to call it – “sexistential pop”. FFO: Mac DeMarco and Yellow Days.
16.00 – 16.30 – Faye Webster: Brought up surrounded by Atlanta’s folk and hip-hop scenes, this songstress bends genres with her serene songwriting. FFO: Stella Donnelly and Julia Jacklin.

17.30 – 18.00 – Cinema Gold: Alt-electro trio making shimmering lo-fi ballads, consisting of samples and synths. ‘Cosmic, pastoral, trippy and seductive.’
16.30 – 17.00 – Caius Burns: By day he’s Cai from Kagoule, by night he’s Caius Burns, the stripped back folk vocalist with his ever-intriguing lyrics and that gorgeously distinct vocal.
15.30 – 16.00 – Phil Madeley: Wrapped up in his laid-back, grit-edged soft rock, Phil writes songs that want to offer as much refuge as they do commentary. FFO: Neil Young and Jamie T.
14.30 – 15.00 – The Crying Violets: An indie pop/rock duo blending gorgeous vocals, catchy beats, and bright, harmonic guitar. FFO: Fleetwood Mac and Vampire Weekend.
13.30 – 14.00 – Elliot Williams: A voice that can make anyone stop in their tracks. This singer-songwriter has got a knack for writing a gorgeous tune. FFO: Ben Howard and Lewis Capaldi.
