Y Not is returning to Derbyshire this year from July 31st to August 3rd better than ever! Bringing you Indie, Rock, and Alt lineups hosted in a beautiful location none other than Pikehall offering you lively, warm, and an immersive experience this summer.
So, who is on the lineup you may ask? This year is jam-packed with the latest sensational talent and plenty of big names. One headliner being The Prodigy who are known to put on a dynamic and legendary performance. Ska and pop icons Madness will get you dancing like nobody’s watching all while The Womabts and Courteeners bring joy to all the Indie rock fans. Also look out for exhilarating sets from The Last Dinner Party, Franz Ferdinand, Sigrid and plenty more.

Y Not doesn’t just stop at the music. It has loads more to offer such as MINGO’s Cabaret Club presenting you with plenty of opportunities to get up on stage and sing your heart out at Barrioke feat. Shaun Williamson, from Eastenders. As well as putting on drag shows, comedians, bingo, and much more.
Bringing the family? Why not participate in some of the activities going on at the Strawberry Fields. Including activities such as Family yoga, Laser tag, Arts and Crafts, and plenty more family bonding activities to get stuck into. Families will also appreciate the dedicated camping zones making it a great idea for a small family getaway this summer.
If this sounds like the festival for you, you better grab a ticket fast as Y Not has already sold over 90% of its tickets for 2025. Your choices are weekend camping, VIP add-ons, Family packages, and Glamping for those who would prefer some comfort during their weekend. Remember, If you are bringing a child under 12, their entry is free!

With Y Not being tucked away into the peak district, there are plenty of ways to access the festival from car to shuttlebus services from nearby towns. Always remember to plan your journey ahead of time to avoid unnecessary stress. Don’t forget your basic essentials either, make sure you have waterproofs, comfy shoes and a reusable water bottle to keep hydrated!!!
Without a doubt, Y Not will throw the best vibes this year with their killer line up, community spirit and unforgettable memories. If you are a first time festival go-er, I would heavily recommend this festival to you, and if you aren’t, this isn’t a celebration you are wanting to miss.
