Get ready for a weekend of absolute chaos (the good kind) as Y Not Festival 2025 returns to the Peak District, serving up a juicy mix of indie bangers, mosh-pit mayhem, and nostalgia-drenched anthems. Set against rolling hills and fields full of happy campers, this is your chance to lose yourself in music and mud with a pint in hand and your mates in tow.

The Courteeners are back to headline, and if anyone knows how to whip a festival crowd into a Manc-chanting frenzy, it’s them. Expect a sea of voices belting out Not Nineteen Forever like their lives depend on it. They’ve become proper legends of the UK festival scene, and for good reason – they bring the energy every single time.

Now, brace yourselves for The Prodigy for one night 'Y Notters' become 'Voodoo People'. Still as fierce as ever, these rave-rock icons will turn the Derbyshire fields into a full-on dancefloor with their pulsating beats and strobe-soaked chaos. It’s raw, loud, and absolutely unforgettable.

Over on the more nostalgic (but no less energetic) side of things, Madness will be skanking their way through a career-spanning set of ska-pop gold. Whether you grew up on Baggy Trousers or just want to bounce around to Our House with three generations of fans, their show is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Joining them are Franz Ferdinand, the angular art-rockers who made dancing cool again with hits like Take Me Out and Do You Want To. With their razor-sharp riffs and dancefloor-friendly swagger, they’re set to bring some serious indie disco energy to the weekend.

Elsewhere, catch rising stars and cult faves across multiple stages, dive into street food heaven. The vibe is friendly, the beer is flowing, and the tunes are non-stop.

And don’t forget to check out The Hog and Barrel, Y Not’s beloved rustic pub stage, known for its intimate acoustic sets, surprise appearances, and very decent cider. It’s the perfect chill spot before heading back into the madness.

Basically, if you like your festivals loud, lively and loaded with legends, Y Not 2025 is calling. Dig out your bucket hat, pack the waterproofs, and prepare for one hell of a weekend.

Limited tickets still available from the festival website, from £169.50 plus booking fees.
