Levellers and James, meanwhile, are set to appear as special guests. Organisers promise that “many more” acts are yet to be announced.

“We can’t wait to headline this year’s event. Y Not was the first festival I ever went to in 2012 so to be back there headlining is really quite surreal,” said Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden. “It’s going to be a very special night.”

Stereophonics’ Richard Jones added: “If the last time we played Y Not is anything to go by this year’s festival will be great. In 2017 the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd who were up for a good time.

“I remember watching Slaves and Jake Bugg who were both on form. After the year everyone has been through, I’m sure it will be a memorable weekend for everyone!”

Jason Oakley, Managing Director at Y Not Festival, commented: “After a tough year for live music, there’s finally some light at the end of the tunnel and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Y Not Festival for the celebration we all deserve.
