All the best pictures from the weekend of science and music including THAT Bjork outfit

Brollies, bubbles and Bjork were the overriding themes at this year's Bluedot festival, the fifth of its kind at Jodrell Bank. While the weather wasn't what we hoped for, the talent on display from Iceland's favourite export as well as the likes of Mogwai, Metronomy, Yard Act, Lido Pimienta, Groove Armada and more sure made up for it.

Here are the best pics of the weekend at Bluedot 2022:
