Y Not Festival returned to the Peak District over the weekend for what promoters have called its “biggest ever year”.
North Derbyshire Radio were there and you can see all of our photos and stories from the festival on our Facebook page.
Headliners The Libertines, The Reytons, Two Door Cinema Club, and The Streets drew fans from far and wide to the fields of Pikehall in Derbyshire.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kaiser Chiefs, Rizzle Kicks and Dizzie Rascal also graced the main stage across the weekend as the capacity for the event grew from 28,000 to 33,000 people for 2026.
The site also expanded to allow for upgrades to the pub-come-music venue The Hog & Barrel, a “new and improved” Strawberry Fields Forever family area, and two new dance stages, a festival spokesperson said.
