Jack.194 Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 May as well get this started. Anyone got any ideas for headliners? Maybe Royal Blood, they were due to play at some point before it got cancelled because of COVID weren’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they could extend it and keep RB on the tour with them. I was hoping RB would play Truck but that looks so unlikely but I guess their is a chance of Y Not if Muse finish on the 22nd July.

stanh Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Already another Y Not thread for next year :)) https://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/242503-y-not-festival-2023/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyphil Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Saw Y Not ownership changed hands the other week. Now owned by the same company that own Boardmasters/Victorious/et/etc. Maybe the reason for lack of announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samjones Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 That’s very odd considering they returned to independent ownership literally a couple of years ago. @JBarbourare you able to shed any light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Was a horrible time to not be part of a bigger group as the pandemic hit and costs have since gone up, was probably too expensive to run anymore so they've sold it on. Very difficult to book acts in this marketplace and the onsite costs. If they stayed Independent they would likely have been able to book smaller acts and I imagine they wouldn't have been confident of selling as well doing this. Now it can be block booked across Superstruct's UK festivals, would be a situation where they book acts across a couple years so its not same acts playing everywhere in one summer, but rather play these 2 this year and these 2 next year. UK acts which is the bulk of Superstructs line ups its clever planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarbour Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 When Y Not went independent from Global/Broadwick and never got acquired by Super it borrowed cash from Global. I'd imagine that cash has never been repaid due to bad years with weather and then COVID. So a deal been struck with Super Y Not already shares a third-party booker with Tramlines and Victorious, as well as staffing. So Super can probably make it more cost effective.

Seems for a change victorious is announcing first and the rest will be Jan/Feb like you said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
