Y Not 2024

[beau1]

Any rumours, suggested lineup release dates or thoughts about this yet?

They seem to have a decent lineup every year - we nearly went last year but had already committed our Festival buzz to Bearded Theory.

Keep an eye on Tramlines, Kendall Calling, Truck and Victorious rumours as these and Y Not generally share the same pool of acts as all owned by Super Struct and probably the same set of bookers.

We don't usually get this string of festival's announcements until the new year usually, but it does seem a decent handful are announcing earlier than usual

I will have some names shortly for certain but what I’ve heard so far idles, Ashcroft, prodigy, catfish won’t be playing for anyone wondering

Catfish almost certainly too big now with the reunion hype, and being R+L headliners (I get it's a weak booking but that's their perceived level right now).

Catfish and Gerry were possibles but both off the list now signed up to Reading and Leeds unfortunately.

Snow Patrol and I even think Anne-Marie might be 2 header options for the superstruct events.

Sorry to ask a silly question, but why can't they headline YNot as well?

Shame about Prodigy. Would have been great to see them or Chems or Underworld headline the Friday night.

Festival Republic headliner bookings are usually tied to their festivals.  YNot and Tramlines etc are rival company Super Struct.   

Hopefully different this year.

Thought it would be something like that so thanks for the clarity! 🙂

Any updates yet on like who or when the lineup might get released? New albums from wolf Alice and libertines this year who I would say could be a decent size to headline? Could very much see reytons getting the bump up as well after their massive show at Rotherham maybe 

[plaskins]

Last couple of years have been announced early Feb and early March

[Conners2390]

I didn’t word my last message great. Idles, Ashcroft and prodigy ARE possibles also Gerry for the Saturday night slot. Heard a big wildcard aswell no idea who. Maybe a Noel Gallagher? But that’s what I’ve got for you this year expect an announcement in the next couple of weeks

Anyone but Ashcroft 😩 

Still hoping for Elbow for this or Tramlines, maybe Sunday night

One of these two festivals at least also needs to get a female headliner pretty sharpish

I mean I could still see wolf Alice doing festivals this year bc they’re set to release a new album and they haven’t played in quite a few years now

Fingers crossed! They are high on my wish list. Superb live band. Not sure they'd get a headline slot though - perhaps 2nd stage headline.

I mean they subbed main stage in 2019 I can definitely see them headlining if their new album gets a decent reception

Anyone but Ashcroft but you'll have Elbow?, that's hella boring!

They headlined Latitude so that puts them up there for this size festival surely

At least they'll have something new to offer with an album coming out. Just find Ashcroft an annoying human being and underwhelming live act (seen him solo twice and with the Verve).

New doesn't mean godo though, I just find Elow the most average boring dreary band myself, up there with trying to listen to some of Paulo Nutini.

Ashcroft isn't poor live, that's one thing even people I've spoke to and friends who aren't major Verve fans don't agree on.

I got a bit bored and so made a little prediction/ wishlist 

[Will b]

Wolf Alice would be headline level at this point

Libertines aren't headlining these days

They feel like a push for even Truck at this point
