In pictures: Y Not festival gets off to a great start with Kaiser Chiefs concert

Derbyshire’s biggest music festival has got off to a great start with a top performance from the Kaiser Chiefs.

The sell-out Y Not festival in the Peak District has attracted 40,000 revellers to Pikehall between Matlock and Buxton.

Snow Patrol top this evening’s concert on the main stage, Jamie T headlines on Saturday and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying BIrds play out the festival on Sunday.

Here’s a few shots from the opening night gig where Kaiser Chiefs, Scouting For GIrls, Dead Pony and Ten Tonnes wowed the crowd.
