Y Not Festival has officially dropped the first set of names ahead of it’s 20th anniversary. Running from 29th July to 1st August 2027 in the heart of the Peak District at Pikehall. The festival has come a long way from a house party in 2005, transforming into the place to be in summer!
In order to make two decades truly special the organizers have pulled out all the stops with four massive headliners. Not to mention a line-up stacked with a great undercard, Indie legends and enough emerging talent to shake a stick at!
The Headliners
Thursday – Nile Rodgers & CHIC – Kicking the party off with the ultimate act. Nile Rodgers will showcase a career of over 50 years, 6 Grammys and songs like Le Freak and Good Times. Not to mention his legendary collabs with acts like Daft Punk.
Friday – Fresh from securing their fifth UK number 1 album. The Stockport based Indie icons Blossoms will be taking the Friday headline slot. You can expect an energetic set packed full to the brim with huge tunes like Charlemagne.
Saturday – Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim will be making his long awaited Y NOT debut. With over 30 years in the industry the iconic DJ will bring with him legendary tracks Praise you and Right Here Right Now.
Sunday – Closing out the 20th anniversary Indie band The Kooks! Seems fitting when the band are also experiencing the same milestone. Coming out hot was their new album Never/Know. But their set will also feature their debut Inside In/ Inside Out. It’s going to be GREAT!
Special Guests & Huge Undercard
If those headliners are somehow not enough for you then adding Pop-Indie giants Bastille and girl group Sugababes both as special guests surely will be!
The remainder of the announced bands are stacked with guitar playing bands, legendary acts and alternative powerhouses. Included within are Feeder, Razorlight, Embrace, The Coral, Ocean Colour Scene, Lightning Seeds and La Roux. Joining them are Indie juggernauts DMA’s, Inhaler, Sports Team, Red Rum Club, The K’s and a DJ set from Groove Armada.
The next set of alternative music is well represented to including Fat Dog, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, The Scratch, Overpass and Nieve Ella.
