Y NOT FESTIVAL
THE line-up for this year’s Y Not Festival has been announced.
Crossing the Peaks to kick things off are local legends, Elbow – the Mancunian band led by frontman Guy Garvey and known for their soaring anthems such as One Day Like This.
Irish indie trio Two Door Cinema Club are returning headliners, and also returning to the spotlight are rock heroes Foals.
Elsewhere on the bill, Wolf Alice are making their Y Not debut after their Grammynominated first album and Mercury Prizewinning second. Then there’s indie royalty in the form of Franz Ferdinand, ever-evolving pop-punk heroes You Me At Six, Salford legends Happy Mondays and band of the hour Idles. They are joined by White Lies, Gerry Cinnamon, Miles Kane, The Hunna and many more to round out what organisers are calling the biggest UK indie-rock line-up of the year.
“After an amazing 2018 festival, we’re so happy to have a 2019 line-up bursting at the seams. We’ve got a huge mix of new and old faces to the Derbyshire Dales, with massive returns from classic bands such as White Lies, plus the huge welcomes to the UK’s hottest emerging stars like Idles and Mahalia. Not forgetting three huge headliners.”
