The You Are Not Alone (YANA) festival, set to move to Stockport in 2025, has been postponed due to losing access to key stages.
In 2022, YANA used eight venues, and over seventy artists performed. They give all profits to Mind, a mental health charity. Tickets started at only £10. The lineup for this year included several bands.
The 2025 festival was going to move to Stockport. However, organizers had to postpone the event. Several issues caused this change of plans, unfortunately.
The festival was set for March 2nd, but now, its date is uncertain. They lost access to four stages. These stages were vital due to their size, including The Underbank which is rebranding.
The Underbanks used to be The Syndikat. Benji Taylor organizes YANA and co-owns The Underbanks. He said the venue won’t open on time, and two other venues closed, too.
The festival shared the news on Instagram, explaining that they lost four large stages. This means they must reschedule YANA.
Organizers are trying to keep the lineup. They will confirm a new date soon, and they are working hard to resolve these issues well.
Original tickets will work for the new date. People understood the news, and many look forward to the rescheduled festival. Some are happy because they can attend now.
