Yasfest

About this event

The Yasmine McClory Foundation is delighted to announce the return of Yasfest for its third consecutive year, bringing together live music, community spirit and fundraising to celebrate the life of Yasmine McClory while supporting vital local community projects.

Taking place on Saturday 19 September 2026, this year's festival marks an exciting new chapter as Yasfest moves to The Chapel at The Angel Microbrewery in the heart of Nottingham – one of the city's most iconic grassroots music venues.

The Foundation was founded in memory of Yasmine McClory - the festival runs across her birthday weekend and celebrates her passion for music while raising funds for the Yasmine McClory Foundation's work supporting disadvantaged communities. Key projects at the moment include providing food for Bassetlaw Food Bank and The Friary, and funding counselling sessions for LGBTQIA+ youth struggling with mental health. 

This year's line-up features an exciting mix of returning favourites and new artists, showcasing some of the region's best emerging talent. Festival-goers can look forward to performances from:

• Hystamine
• Spiralling
• Parasight
• Frampton
• In Motion
• Matt Blaney
• Aimee Kimpton
• Mark Henry

Since launching in 2024, Yasfest has become an annual celebration of live music and community, bringing people together to honour Yasmine's legacy while supporting meaningful local causes.
