bluedot 2022 festival, a weekend of music and cosmic culture which happens at Jodrell Bank Observatory, Cheshire, from Thursday 21st to Sunday 24th July 2022 have announced their Sunday headliner will be Björk Orchestral.

Bjork, performs alongside Halle Orchestra, accompanied by bespoke visuals projected on the face of the 250-foot Lovell Telescope. A UK festival exclusive, and a stunning world-first audio-visual performance for the first time at bluedot.

Organisers took to Facebook to call it a performance three years in the making!" Bjork with the Halle Orchestra were announced previously for bluedot 2020 which was postponed.

Festival director Ben Robinson said: "After the postponements of the last two summers we wanted to return with something extra special and unique. We spoke to Björk's team about curating visuals to accompany the show & being the first confirmed artists to project onto the surface of the Lovell Telescope at bluedot festival. Björk and her team are already working on this unique spectacle & we are incredibly grateful for their enthusiasm for making the closing set of bluedot's return truly unique."

Teresa Anderson, Director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement, added: "We're delighted to welcome bluedot back to its home at Jodrell Bank. Bjork is an artist who works on the creative common ground between art and science so it's amazing that she will be headlining the festival, here at the UK's home of Astrophysics. We're really looking forward to seeing everyone again!"
