Y NOT 2020 Cancellation FAQ’s
Why have you cancelled the event?
With everything going on in the world right now, we know this is the right thing to do. The safety of the audience, artists and crew, and wider community has to come first. Y Not festival draws on the expertise of many fantastic people across many services from emergency planning to food production. These people are going to be needed both locally and nationally now and in the summer more than ever.
We know it is still a long time between now and our event but the disruption caused to our build and planning process, which happens in the months leading up to the weekend, has proved impossible to navigate. We are bitterly disappointed to not be able to bring you what we knew was going to be our best year yet. Y Not is a labour of love and to not be able to share it with you is heartbreaking, but the focus now should be on compassion, unity and getting through this together.
