Y NOT FESTIVAL – Pikehall Derbyshire 30th July-1st August 2021

Crashing in to the 2021 wave of festival line-up releases, Y Not Festival have proven themselves to be a festival to take note of, with huge headline names and floods of buzzing new talent.
Stereophonics close off the Friday night festivities, with time-tested tunes that showcase exactly what the weekend is all about; shouting along to lyrics you love with your mates and already slightly sun-burnt skin. We can only keep our fingers crossed between now and the late July weekend that the group will play fan favourites, ‘Dakota’ creeping out as the prime example.
Any avid festival goer knows exactly how legendary a Bombay Bicycle performance is; the deceptively melodic tracks gain a new life when live, becoming electric signifiers of a summer in full swing. Just imagine ‘Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)’ reverberating through you as the sun goes down, and try to tell us you don’t instantly want to be at Y Not.
With Blossoms rounding off the Sunday shows, you’re guaranteed a setlist of indie-rock anthems, perfected in performance through years of gigging and lively festival showings. Indie-rock darlings DMA’S also come out of their lock down hiding to join them and once again take to the stage, and we can’t help but anticipate that this might be the most riotous set yet. With both bands having made the most of the more unusual times, we cannot wait to see how they jump guitar-first into their sets.
Early visitors are also treated to a performance by Circa Waves: festival favourites who need no introduction. Their tracks seem ready made for sunny days on a field – a star booking to get even more festival goers set up and raring to go on that earlier night if we’ve ever seen one.
Pale Waves, Sundara Karma, and Jake Bugg join the list, forming a well established rota that know not only how to perform, but how to perform for a festival as lively as this one. The Sherlocks, Jaws, and Bloxx are also set to make an appearance, the latter in particular being famed for outperforming bands miles above them in line-up lists. If you’ve already got your tickets, or are set to get them soon, make a note of Bloxx as a group to catch by any cost.
END OF THE ROAD FESTIVAL 2021 – Larmer Tree Gardens 2nd-5th September 2021
Posted: May 5, 2021 in MUSIC
We worked really hard to bring you our 2020 line-up in 2021, but the world had other ideas. Much has changed since we announced our 2021 line-up in December and some of our pals from across the pond are no longer able to make it.
Determined to bring you the best party this summer, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work curating an exciting new line-up. Feast your eyes on our new additions for 2021 and already familiar names.
Electro-pop heavyweights Hot Chip, anarchic punks Sleaford Mods and sonic explorers Stereolab plus Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, confessional synth-pop star John Grant and Malian musical nomads Tinariwen all join previously announced musical polymath King Krule UK rap pioneer Little Simz endlessly inventive tune-yards and many more.
For those of you who were caught unaware by the early March sell out, some more exciting news comes in the form of a Limited Late Release of Tickets. You will have your chance to grab a ticket for this year’s End Of The Road on May 20th at 10am. Tickets have been in high demand, so set aside whatever else you were planning to do that day and head over to our website to make sure you’re one of the lucky few.
We know this is a big change from our original line-up but we’re sure you’ll be ready to party with us in September anyway. In case you’re not, we’ve decided to open up refunds for a strictly limited 10-day window. Many of you supported us by rolling over your tickets from 2020, for which we’re truly grateful, and loads of people are still hoping to buy tickets, so although we have the right to substitute acts under the T&Cs of ticket purchase, in these special circumstances if anyone wants out you’ve got until midnight on the 14th May to request your refund.
Rest assured, we are making plans with all the guidance currently available to us and keeping up to date with all relevant authorities whilst waiting for further advice from the Government come June 21st.
