And headliners for the event, which takes place in Derbyshire in July, are Elbow, Two Door Cinema Club and Foals.

Kicking things off on the Friday are Elbow, the critically-lauded Mancunian band, lead by frontman Guy Garvey. Elbow are known for their beautifully soaring anthems such as ‘One Day Like This’. With an array of hits; new and old you’ll be singing along with an entire crowd for this one.

Irish indie trio Two Door Cinema Club have some unfinished business for Y Not Festival. As returning headliners on the Saturday night, they’re bringing their A-game this summer and some brand new bangers along the way. TDCC’s first EP was released in 2009 and grew into a triumph with the success of single "Something Good Can Work." - a song that continues to be an essential summer anthem nearly ten years on!
