The festival launched back in 2016 and for its fourth installment will return to Cheshire’s Jodrell Bank Observatory to host a mix of artists, speakers, scientists and performers. Last year's instalment was headlined by the Chemical Brothers, the Flaming Lips and Future Islands.
The festival has confirmed a Jon Hopkins “bespoke Thursday night opening concert with The Hallé”, with Hot Chip set to top the bill on the Friday, Kraftwerk the Saturday — with a special 3-D live performance, and New Order will close the festival on the Sunday.
