BLONDIES' ROUND-UP: Y NOT? (02/08/2024-04/08/2024)

Ready for festival season? Here is your one-stop hub for the most exciting lineups on offer this Summer. Y Not Festival, taking place in Derbyshire this August, has a line-up filled with some of the best artists on the indie scene right now. It is set to be a weekend full of feel-good tunes and incredible memories.

Gather your friends, pack your tent and let’s dive in to what festival season 2024 has in store for us.

Perhaps one of the best live performances we’ve seen, we were fortunate enough to catch Pale Waves’ performance at Reading and Leeds 2022. If you are unfamiliar with their music, check out songs like ‘She’s My Religion’, ‘Jealousy’, and ‘Change’ to get a feel for their sound. They are so unapologetically themselves and we are simply craving new Pale Waves music.

The Vaccines can dominate any stage they perform on. They demand the audience to get in the spirit and their sets are truly crowd pleasers for all demographics. Whether you like the throwback hits or new tracks from ‘Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations’, this is a guaranteed good time - what did you expect from The Vaccines? (haha…)

We could not have been more excited to see Scouting for Girls' name on this line-up. Picture this, you’re an olive running away from a house party in Brighton, except you’re actually running to Scouting for Girls’ set at Y Not?. We have fond memories of boogying in the club to their tracks, so we cannot wait to recreate our famous moves at this set. We will be there in a ‘Heartbeat’!

Everyone give it up for SOFY! A long-term Blonde Vibrations favourite at this point; especially at a festival - we first met SOFY and her band during our first festival run!! She truly is a rising star and is making huge waves in the industry right now, from featuring on the FIFA soundtrack to a headline tour including a residency at The Grace. SOFY’s music is the epitome of a hot summer’s day with a pint of your choice in your hand. Just make sure to bring the tissues if she sings ‘btw’ (personal experience…) If you still need convincing to check her out (not that you need it), check out our interview during Truck Festival 2022 over on our Youtube.

On the lineup, you’ll also see Holly Humberstone, Declan McKenna, and Nieve Ella. They are all truly dominating festival season, all appearing on multiple line-ups this year.

So, this begs the question - Y NOT?
