Bluedot, a brand new three-day festival of discovery, taking place from today (22^nd July) until Sunday (24 July) at Jodrell Bank.

An event unlike any other on earth, it promises to fuse a complex mix of artists, speakers, scientists and performers into one venue, which looks to inspire the scientists of the future.

Heading the music bill with a UK festival exclusive is the legendary Jean-Michel Jarre, renowned not only for his revolutionary electronic compositions that spawned an entire genre, but also his incredible live performances having pushed the very limits of light, laser and pyrotechnic.

Also headlining are psych-electronica pioneers Caribou and – arguably one of the most influential British bands of the last three decades – Underworld, whose infamous live performances are the stuff of legend.

Other artists lined up are electro-rock darlings Everything Everything, art-rock archivists Public Service Broadcasting, neo-psychedelic titans Mercury Rev, folk experimentalist Steve Mason, post math-rock instrumentalists 65daysofstatic, and six-time World Snooker Champion Steve Davis AKA DJ Thundermuscle.

Headliners: Jean-Michel Jarre, Underworld, Air and Caribou + Radio 4’s The Infinite Monkey Cage with Prof. Brian Cox and Robin Ince to be recorded at the festival

Additional artists: Floating Points, DJ Shadow, Everything Everything, Public Service Broadcasting, British Sea Power + many more
