The whole team is delighted that we have sold out of weekend tickets two weeks before the show. Huge thanks to everyone involved for the outstanding commitment to making Bluedot a truly unique and innovative festival experience. We can’t wait for people to see what we have put together this year, it's going to be truly out of this world."
