Just a quick 30-minute drive from Chesterfield, nestled in the heart of the Peak District, is one of the nation’s most cherished music festivals—YNOT! We were absolutely thrilled to score two press and photo passes to bring the festival experience to our wonderful readers.
It was nothing short of surreal to be in the same space as some of the greatest musicians of our time, including Jamie T, Snow Patrol, and the legendary Noel Gallagher. YNOT Festival is truly special in the way it champions local talent, and I had the pleasure of catching several incredible acts from Chesterfield and the surrounding areas over the weekend.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be featuring some of Derbyshire’s most exciting talent, diving into their musical inspirations and big dreams. But for now, make sure to check out these amazing acts:
April Tapes
Balancing Act
Sharp Class
Shadows of a Silhouette
Mimosa
The Collide
Frank
Leah Wilcox
We’ll have a full festival round-up in our next edition, but until then, enjoy these photos! Huge thanks to the YNOT Festival media team—you made this Frank Turner super-fan's dream come true!
