Hoxton venues sign up for new event

London is to get a new festival with the launch of the Hox To Dot bash in May.

The event, which follows the Dot To Dot Festival which was set up by the same organisers last year in Nottingham and Bristol, will see a number of artists playing venues around the capital’s Hoxton area.

Fans who buy tickets can then make their way between venues.

The new festival will take place in London on May 22, with participating acts to be confirmed soon.
