[News] Y Not Festival Announces Initial Line-Up

As we've mentioned in the past few weeks, there are tonnes of festivals announcing their line-ups at the moment and all of them seem to be delivering some stellar line-ups. We have a reformed Outkast playing tonnes of dates the world over, Arctic Monkeys for Reading and Leeds, Snoop Dogg at Parklife, Beck at Bestival. Summer 2014 is already looking like one for the books. 

Keeping it real in the Derbyshire Countryside though, the ever growing Y-Not Festival has announced it's first few headliners and a bunch of acts playing their tents across the first weekend of August 1st-3rd. Dizzee Rascal and White Lies top the bill for the main stage, with some exciting looking names throughout the initial announcement. If you're up for a party, I'm sure Andrew W.K. will be happy to help out with that. Or maybe you're feeling a little more chilled, in which case Newton Faulkner can serenade you. Last year's Y Not was their biggest yet and by the looks of it the team their are planning something extra special for 2014. I'd highly recommend if you're in the UK and wanting to check out a grass roots festival with a really nice, relaxed atmosphere, make it this one.

If you're in a band and fancy playing the festival, head over to their Facebook page for more info and you could be doing just that; playing Y Not!

Tickets are on sale now and you can grab them here. Check out the announcement video below for the full line-up though.

[Watch] White Lies - "The Power & The Glory" (Official Video)

White Lies have dropped a brand new visual for their track "The Power & The Glory" which features on their great LP Ritual. Check out their video at the top and if you want more of the London boys jump on over here to pick up the album and play it to death. You won't regret it.

[Watch] White Lies - "Holy Ghost"

Check out some new visuals from White Lies for their track "Holy Ghost" which features on their latest release Ritual. You can pick up their album over here if you like the sound of these guys. 

The video is a weird watch featuring a hell of a lot of slow motion and paired it up with some unusual imagery. It's a treat for the eyes none the less and also sees the band performing on some coast side rocks whilst being watched by what looks like the cast of the nativity play. Just me? Check it out above.

[Watch] White Lies - "Bigger Than Us" Live on Leno

White Lies have been getting a lot of airplay over here in the UK recently with the release of their new album Ritual at the beginning of January. If you're yet to pick yourself up a copy you can do so over here. Last night the London boys took to the stage on Jay Leno a long way from their home city roots! They performed "Bigger Than Us" for the audience and your viewing pleasure. They are also soon to be hitting the road in the UK doing a short stint of dates in February which you can check out after the jump. Once again thanks to the tireless Audio Perv for the video.
