In doing so, festival goers will be rewarded with lanyards, programmes, posters, T-shirts and showers.

The acts previously confirmed for Y-Not are Sunday night headliners Young Knives, acoustic headliners Beardyman (Fri) and Karima Francis (Sat), plus Nine Black Alps, Johnny Foreigner, and Baddies.

The festival runs from Friday 31st July until Sunday 2nd August over two stages at a site in the Peak District, near Matlock, in Derbyshire.

An adult weekend ticket is priced at £42 include 3 nights camping. Youth (10-15 - ID required) tickets £29. Under 10s free. A Friday day ticket is priced at £21, a Saturday day ticket which includes camping for Saturday night is priced at £24, a Sunday day ticket includes camping for Sunday night is priced at £17.
