Winner of the Best Metropolitan Festival gong at 2013's UK Festival Awards - Dot To Dot today reveals its first wave of acts to join it in Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham this summer.

The announcements see the festival, now in its tenth year, continue to unearth the hottest talent from across the UK and put them alongside some of the more intriguing, well entrenched artists of the moment.

Returning for a second bite of the cherry, singer songwriter Saint Raymond tops the line up, fresh off the back of a tour with everyone's favourite acoustic guitarist Ed Sheeran (see him action at last year's festival above).

21 year old pop starlet Rae Morris joins the Manchester and Nottingham dates following a sell out UK tour and critically adored debut LP Unguarded.

Irish pop folk dup Hudson Taylor, surf-psyche kings The Wytches, Canadian up and comers Single Mothers and NYC indie rockers Cymbals Eat Guitars get involved as well.

Elsewhere Honeyblood, Little May, Hinds, Laura Doggett, Menace Beach, Tei Shei, Racing Glaciers, Pretty Vicious, Alex Burley, April Towers and Vitamin round off the first round of revelations. Head here for your Dot To Dot Festival - Manchester tickets.
