The Libertines headlining Tramlines Festival 2017 (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
The Y Not festival will be headlined by The Libertines, Catfish & The Bottlemen and Jamiroquai when it moves to Aston Hill Farm in Derbyshire later this year.
The event is making the short journey after its final day was cancelled in 2017 amidst severe weather and claims of a lack of preparation. Organisers have said they anticipate the new site should mean ‘the drive and route to the festival will be exactly the same’ but allow them to ‘address some of the challenges of the previous site location’. Festival chief Simon Mawbey concluded in a statement that:
“We understand how important it is to keep the public informed every step of the way and so we hope they are reassured by the improvements being made for this year, including our new site at Aston Hill Farm.”
The Libertines have agreed to top the first night on July 27th, Catfish follow on the Saturday and Jamiroquai close out on July 29th. Also confirmed on the line-up are Manic Street Preachers, Kaiser Chiefs, Circa Waves, The Amazons and Fat White Family among others.
