Y Not Festival

Y Not started as a party among friends and has grown into a sizeable independent festival at Pikehall, in the Derbyshire Peak District. It's held at the end of July or start of August.

The line-up favours guitar bands, indie and rock, with some pop and dance acts mixed in, played to a young crowd from the Midlands and the north. The stages are spread out across the hillside, and the atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious.
