YNOT 2026 - Posteritty giveaway
Heading to Y NOT Festival? We’ve Hidden 30 Exclusive Print Sets Across the Site!
The bags are packed, the wellies are prepped, and the Posteritty crew is officially Festival-bound!
We are beyond excited to announce that we’ll be heading to the beautiful Peak District for our 9th!! Y NOT Festival, and we aren’t coming empty-handed. To celebrate an incredible weekend of live music, we’re pulling off a massive giveaway stunt—and you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled if you want to take home a piece of Posteritty history.
What’s Up for Grabs?
We’ve created limited-edition, festival-exclusive print sets featuring 10 of the biggest artists tearing up the Y NOT stages this year. Each set includes stunning designs of:
The Libertines
The Streets
Two Door Cinema Club
Kaiser Chiefs
Scissor Sisters
Sophie Ellis-Bextor
The Reytons
Reverend and the Makers
Lottery Winners
Sleeper
We’ve produced 30 full sets in total—including special editions featuring iconic lyrics from each artist.
How to Get Your Hands on a Set
There are two ways to snag one of these exclusive 10-print collections over the weekend:
The Great Y NOT Treasure Hunt: We’ll be stashing and hiding print sets all over the festival grounds from Friday to Sunday. Think near the stages, around the campsite, and at key landmark spots across the site. If you find one, it’s yours to keep!
Catch Us Handing Them Out: Our team will be wandering the crowds, soaking up the tunes, and handing out full sets directly to music lovers. If you spot someone carrying Posteritty gear, come say hello!
Buy a set at a massively discounted price this week: We will list 10 sets for sale at a discounted rate while we are at the festival.
Pro Tip (Signal Permitting!): We’ll try to drop live hints, photo clues, and location drops on our Instagram Stories (@posteritty)... assuming the legendary Peak District phone signal doesn't send us back to the Dial-Up era. If our Stories take 45 minutes to upload a single pixelated photo of a fence post, just know we’re fighting the good fight for you out there in the fields!
Found One? Tag Us!
If you manage to hunt down a set or snag one from our team, snap a photo, tag @posteritty, and use the hashtag #PosterittyYNOT (even if it takes until Monday morning for the post to actually send!). We’d love to see where our prints end up—whether they’re proudly displayed in your tent or already framed on your wall back home.
Have an amazing festival, stay safe, and happy hunting! See you in the fields!

This Country - Best British Sitcom for a while
If you follow us on social media it should be pretty clear that we are pretty big fans of the sitcom 'This Country' we converted our fan appreciation in the only way we now how... by illustrating each and every episode of the two fantastic series (so far)
Thought we'd put them all in one place to see, enjoy...
Remembering the talent lost in 2016 - Minimal Illustration
We made a little illustrative tribute to the great talents that were lost in 2016.
An incredibly strange year with so many household names now longer around to entertain us.
The Great American Sitcom Tournament 2016
After the fun, success and debate invoking anger of our previous 'Great British Sitcom Tournament' we thought we better do an American version, so that's exactly what we're doing!
We started in March when we held the Qualifiers to determine the final 32 Sitcoms, so apologies if your favourites aren't included, they didn't get the early votes.
Once the 32 were decided, we held a (extremely professional) draw, with ping pong balls drawn at random and zero corruption...
The competition takes the form of the football World Cup with 8 groups of 4 (we seeded the top 8, in our opinion, so they avoided each other in the group stages). Each show in a group plays each other once, with 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. The top 2 shows of each group will progress to the knockout stages.
To play the 'matches' we need your help. We are using the new twitter 'poll' feature to decide the winner of each match based on your votes, each match lasts 24 hours so there will be plenty of time to cast your vote.
Make sure you are following @posteritty over on twitter to be a part of the tournament as it happens, using #GAST2016 should help you find the matches.
We'll update the results table on a regular/daily basis and pin it to our twitter feed so you can check in on how your favourite sitcom is doing throughout the tournament.
The tournament kicks off on February 4th 2016 and the final will take place on 28th Feb. We hope you can take part and help determine the best American Sitcom out there!

The Great British Sitcom Tournament 2016
As we're big fans of sitcoms, football tournaments, minimalist design and spreadsheets we've been working on a way to combine all 4 of these elements for a while and it's finally time to launch 'The Great British Sitcom Tournament 2016'!
We were originally going to have a Euro style 16 team competition, but it quickly became apparent that this wouldn't cut it, as after just an hour's thinking, we already had 68 sitcoms we wanted to include! So at the bare minimum it would have to be a World Cup 32 team/show event.
Obviously taste in humour is massively subjective so we realise that our final 32 choices may trigger debate (It took around 6 hours of discussion littered with colourful language to reach this point and there are still several we are not unanimous on) Hopefully there are at least a few of your favourites in there for you to back and from now on it's over to you, the voting public to decide!

The Beatles Abbey Road - Minimalist Mashup Posters
We've been meaning, for some time, to give the Posteritty treatment to some iconic album covers, and near the top of the list was always going to be 'Abbey Road' by The Beatles. We started off super minimal with just the road markings but thought the iconic elements (Beetle, Police Van, Chap looking on etc) needed to be included, so it went a little 'maximal'
As the background took a little while to illustrate we thought we might create some extras and as we're big Star Wars fans, this happened...
We're also fans of Monty Python and walking Sillily...
Then we couldn't stop...

BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Month 2015
30 Days, 30 Musicians, a rash decision to illustrate them all!
Two days ago Radio 1 announced the lineup for the 2015 Live Lounge Month, while listening to the names being read out, we had a seemingly bright idea: lets 'Posterittize' all of the musicians and create a visual calendar of who's playing which day and it can double as a bit of a 'Guess the musician' game.
Sounded pretty straightforward, 30's not that big a number is it?... then we started breaking it down:
- 30 Musicians/Singers/Bands
- 65 Heads
- 130 Eyebrows
- 28 beards
- 11 Lips
- 5 Hats
Sheeeit!
But when we decide to do something, we get it done! 48 sleepless hours later, we can present...

You can download a high resolution version here that you can save as desktop wallpaper to make sure you don't miss your favourite artist.
Then we thought we may as well do a few of the current Radio 1 DJ's as well, can you name them all?

We'll be flinging these around the festival site as the week progresses so keep your eyes on the skies (which will of course be bright blue and full of sunshine!)

How Far can it fly?
There is also a £100, that's right ONE HUNDRED English Pounds! posteritty shop voucher for the winner
'You've got my interest, however do I enter?, I hear you ask
The winner will be the person to send us a picture of a Frisbee the furthest distance from the Pyramid Stage, so if uptake is minimal and you send a pic from the Tipi Village then you might win, though we are keeping the comp open for a few days after the event to allow for further onward travel.
T's & C's
- Open to absolutely anyone in the world
- Entries close 30th June

Pomp, Pageantry, Posters and Pride
A night at The Beating Retreat 2015
We have just returned from a fantastic trip to London, where we were treated to an evening of ceremonial pomp and a display of the very definition of Military Precision, at The Beating Retreat 2015 event at Horse Guards Parade.
We were hugely honoured to have been asked to design the posters for the 2014 ceremonial events for The Household Division, and once again this year:
The night began with a champagne reception, courtesy of the Major General commanding The Household Division, where we were treated to an exclusive look at many of the original surviving artefacts from the Battle of Waterloo:
We were then taken across the road to Horse Guards Parade, handed a familiar looking programme :)
and walked through the gates adorned with the posters we had created earlier in the year, a surreal moment...
What followed was 2 hours of a truly spectacular display featuring the Household Guards, Household Cavalry, Scottish Pipers and a canon booming re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo, all expertly narrated.
The skill, talent and precision of each and every soldier, musician, dancer, choreographer, lighting technician, pyrotechnic worker (basically everyone involved on the performance!) was immaculate and a true testament to the hours of hard work that goes in to the event.
It's hard not to be moved by the playing of the last post, or the vision and sounds of the lone piper playing on the cenotaph.
Another poignant part of the evening was the playing of the 'waterloo bugle' one that was discovered on the battlefield and played publicly for the first time. It was an absolutely unforgettable evening.
To be able to have played even the smallest of parts to help promote these incredible events is an absolute privilege and one that we are incredibly thankful for.
If you have not been to an event involving The Household Division, we recommend that you make sure you do at the next opportunity!
