Hold onto your wellies, because Y NOT FESTIVAL has just dropped the first wave of acts for 2026… and it might be their strongest line-up ever.
30 JULY – 2 AUGUST 2026 | PIKEHALL, DERBYSHIRE
THE HEADLINERS
THURSDAY (EARLY ENTRY SPECIAL) – THE LIBERTINES
Fresh from their Glastonbury 2025 triumph and riding the wave of the brilliant All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, Pete, Carl and the boys are coming to kick the weekend off in chaotic, poetic style.
FRIDAY – THE REYTONS
From Saloon Bar openers in 2019 to full-on festival headliners in 2026, the South Yorkshire kings have earned this moment. Expect a riotous, sing-your-lungs-out set of working-class anthems.
The Reytons (press)
SATURDAY – TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB
Northern Ireland’s indie-dance heroes return with a catalogue of absolute bangers. Tourist History turns 16 next year – prepare for wall-to-wall nostalgia and new favourites.
SUNDAY – THE STREETS
Mike Skinner closing the festival on Sunday night? Dry your eyes mate, this is going to be emotional, euphoric and everything in between. A perfect full-circle moment for the North’s finest festival.
