Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg, Scottish alternative rockers Primal Scream and electronic duo extraordinaire Basement Jaxx are the first headliners announced for the Y Not festival, 31st July – 2nd August, Pikehall, Derbyshire. From singer-songwriter Saint Raymond to garage punk duo Slaves, a diverse feast of genre-hopping artists is confirmed for the event. Summer is sure to sound stunning in the Peak District countryside when Y Not rolls in to town. Tickets at £89.50 are available now via ynotfestivals.co.uk.
Whether you know him as Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Dogg or Snoop Lion, the West Coast rapper is a hip-hop legend and his hits such as 'Gin And Juice' and 'Drop It Like It's Hot' are regarded as classics. Here's hoping he brings the Californian sunshine with him for his headline set at Y Not Festival. Air guitars at the ready for cult band Primal Scream who will be performing hits such as 'Movin' On Up' and 'Country Girl' to fans and crowds alike. Finally topping the bill at the Derbyshire bash are Basement Jaxx, a duo who have rocketed from their beginnings in the Brixton club scene to top charts internationally and bag an acclaimed BRIT Award for Best Dance Act. No doubt dancing shoes will be essential for this set.
For guaranteed festival vibes, folk and acoustic singer-songwriters Saint Raymond and Nick Mulvey take to the stage, while rock quartets We Are The Ocean and Pulled Apart By Horses also perform. Finally, Lancashire lass Rae Morris and sharply attired two-piece Slaves, plus Glasgow's indie-pop duo Honeyblood, Gengahr, Jagaara, The Academics, Ruen Brothers, Fearless Vampire Killers, Allusondrugs and King Pleasure And The Biscuit Boys complete the first announcement.
Nestled in the Peak District countryside, Y Not will be a vibrant weekend for celebrating the height of summertime. Tickets are selling faster than ever before, so fans and festival-goers are urged to act fast. Standard weekend tickets are currently priced at £89.50 and are available via the Y Not festival website.
