Derbyshire’s Y Not one of UK’s most Instagrammable festivals
Y Not Festival is attended by more than 15,000 fans
Derbyshire’s Y Not Festival has been named as one of the top ten most Instagrammable music celebrations in the country.
The event, which will be held at Pikehall from July 28 to 30 this year, has ranked in a prestigious table which is topped by Creamfields.
Experts looked at the number of Instagram hashtags for the most popular UK festivals to find out which ones were the favourites on the social media platform.
They discovered the hashtag ‘#ynotfestival’ had 21,626 posts shared on Instagram, putting the celebration in tenth place.
The festival, which was originally planned as a house party back in 2005, is now attended by more than 15,000 fans.
A spokesperson for fashion retailer Boohoo which commissioned the study, said: “Y Not is a pop, indie and rock-themed festival which is perfect for those who love to dress grungy and bold, as well as those who prefer a more relaxed and boho-style approach.”
Bombay Bicycle Club, Royal Blood, Kasabian, and Paul Weller will headline at Y Not 2023 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
They will join a number of other well-known names across the weekend, including the Wombats, James, the Charlatans and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
A new wave of acts - including Panic Shack, the Lathums, the Pigeon Detectives and Heather Small - was announced just last month.
Managing director of the festival, Jason Oakley, said: “We’re thrilled to add so many more brilliant names to the line-up this year.
“There’s so much fresh talent joining our incredible headliners, as well as some Y Not regulars who we can’t wait to welcome back.
“We’re so grateful for the continued support from everyone - not long to go now.”
