Held in Derbyshire, the Y-Not Festival started in 2006 with over 30 bands and DJs. This 3 day young festival steers away from sponsorship and high prices. In 2009 the festival runs from Friday 31st July until Sunday 2nd August over two stages at a site on Mouldridge Lane, near Matlock, Derbyshire.
The festival attempts to have an intimate nature, with many of the bands camping with festival goers, and friendly stewards. The festival is expected to offer around 50 acts across 2 stages with a diverse mix of music from Indie rock right through to high energy African music to Rock and Roll. Late night entertainment includes a dance tent, or camp fire singalongs and there will be real ales and local ciders available.
There are no acts confirmed yet for 2009.
Weekend tickets are available in limited numbers at 2008 prices, that is £36 and include 3 nights camping. Youth (10-15 - ID required) tickets £25. Under 10s free. Day tickets will be available at a later date. To buy tickets click here. All tickets are now to be collected at the festival.
To reduce the festival's carbon footprint and also to increase accessibility, there will be a free shuttle bus which connects the Buxton - Ashbourne bus route, and Matlock train station to the Festival. Travellers will be able to simply book their free place online at www.ynotfestivals.com/bus.php once the service becomes available.
More information will be here when available.
