Y Not Festival has unveiled four massive headliners for its landmark 20th anniversary edition in 2027, with Blossoms, Fatboy Slim, The Kooks, and Nile Rodgers & CHIC set to top the bill.
Returning to its scenic Peak District home at Pikehall, Derbyshire, from 29 July to 1 August 2027, the milestone event will also feature special guest performances from Bastille and Sugababes. What began as a back-garden house party in 2005 has grown into one of the UK’s most celebrated summer festivals, bringing together world-class live music, comedy, and community spirit.
Legendary songwriter, producer, and guitarist Nile Rodgers & CHIC will open the festivities on Thursday, 29 July, bringing iconic disco anthems like "Le Freak" and "Good Times" to Derbyshire. Stockport indie heroes Blossoms take the Friday headline spot following their fifth UK Number 1 album Songs From The Wedding Cake, while electronic music icon Fatboy Slim will deliver a massive Saturday night party set.
Closing out the festival on Sunday are indie-rock staples The Kooks, who continue a major career resurgence following their UK Top 5 album Never/Know and a 20th-anniversary celebration of their debut album Inside In/Inside Out.
The stacked 20th-anniversary lineup also features a broad range of established acts and emerging talent, including Embrace, Everything Everything, DMA’S, Feeder, Gabrielle, Groove Armada (DJ set), Heather Small, Inhaler, La Roux, Lightning Seeds, Ocean Colour Scene, Razorlight, Sports Team, The Coral, The K’s, The Molotovs, Tinie Tempah, Arkayla, and Basht.
Presale tickets for Y Not Festival 2027 go on sale on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, ahead of the general sale on Friday, 13 November at 10:00 AM GMT via the official festival website.
