Also to follow are the announcements for the Allotment Stage – this is the stage which nurtures home-grown talent and gives it the opportunity to bloom. Over 1,700 bands applied via this route and Y Not have dedicated 20 slots to the brightest and best of them.

To help festival goers see as many bands as possible, Y Not has also launched a planner. Accessible via the Y Not website, this nifty piece of software shows at a glance what time they need to be where and when there are clashes between their favoured bands which might test their loyalties.

Y Not, takes place from Friday 2nd until Sunday 4th August, at Pikehall, near Matlock.

Winner of ‘Best Small Festival 2012’ at the UK Festival Awards, tickets are £79.50, see - www.ynotfestivals.co.uk for more.
