Intergalactic festival of music, science, art, technology & the exploration of space | Jodrell Bank Observatory | Bluedot returns summer 2017. Join us for a full weekend of fascinating talks from best-selling authors and award-winning academics, covering everything from how to ‘eat in the future’ to how the ‘brain make us laugh’ and the science of magic and mindfulness.

The Observer Science & Tech will host an afternoon of talks and debates around Fake News, with leading journalists and politicians discussing whether the increasing trend in our post-truth, post-Trump world threatens democracy itself; and The Dark Web – a magical mystery tour around the darker side of the internet, where anyone can operate under a cloak of anonymity, and why we should care what happens there, hosted by Geoff White, head of Tech for Channel 4.

There will also be an exclusive screening and live rescore of The Moomins and The Comet – the Tove Jansson classic by the original composer.

Another giant leap! Presenting a new wave of acts for bluedot.

We’re thrilled to welcome legendary electronic duo AIR alongside a new and exclusive installation from Brian Eno on the Lovell Telescope and special performances from Lanterns On The Lake (with the Royal Northern Sinfonia) and Be performing One (featuring members ofSpiritualized). New talks include Hello Moon (with Jodrell Bank’s Tim O’Brien), plus we welcome Manchester House Restaurant and Lounge’s Aiden Byrne for special pop-up Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
