French electro pop pioneers Air (watch their 'Kelly Watch The Stars' below) will join compatriot Jean Michel Jarre on the line up of brand new three-day festival Bluedot which takes place in the shadow of Jodrell Bank's famous observatory. 

Also confirmed for the Cheshire-based science-themed festival, which takes place between 22nd and 24th July, is Newcastle's Lanterns On The Lake who will team up with the renowned Royal Northern Sinfonia in a unique collaboration. 

Renowned artist and musician Brian Eno has also designed a new artwork specifically for Jodrell Bank which will be displayed across the iconic Lovell Telescope for the duration of the festival. As well as Jarre, Caribou and Underworld were also announced as Bluedot headliners in March. Read the full Bluedot festival line up.
