When the Lovell Telescope was built in 1957 it was by far the largest telescope in the world. It was at risk of not being completed because it had run far over budget. The miracle that saved it was the launch of the first satellite on October 4th 1957, Sputnik 1, which it tracked by radar, making it world famous.
Entering it’s forth year bluedot is an award-winning independent festival by From the Fields, who are owners and organisers of Kendal Calling and Off the Record and Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre. With a mandate to provide amazing, challenging and entertaining content for all the family, bluedot fuses an incredible mix of artists, speakers, scientists and performers into an event unlike any on earth.
Fun fact, Jodrell Bank has a history of association with music being the location for videos by iconic Manchester band Doves, Placebo, Public Service Broadcasting and Brian Cox’s D:Ream. Elbow recorded an album and DVD of their 2012 performance Live at Jodrell Bank.
bluedot festival will take place at Jodrell Bank Observatory between 18th and 21st July 2019.
