We’ve already highlighted five of the must-see bigger-name acts playing 2000trees 2026, but we always prefer the smaller stages – seeing new bands smash their sets as they move their way up the line-up in years to come. 2000trees Festival prides itself on showcasing these types of acts, and this year is no exception. In…
Festival season is almost kicking off and even with Glastonbury taking a fallow year, there’s plenty to enjoy out on the farms and fields this summer. We will once again be heading to Upcote Farm in the Cotswolds to enjoy every moment of 2000trees. The line-up, as you’d expect, is completely stellar with acts like…
There’s always a bittersweet feeling on the final day of a festival, especially one as welcoming and glorious as 2000trees. On the one hand, you’re going to miss watching bands all day long but on the other, some time out of the sun – especially after a year as hot as 2025 – is most…
Following Kneecap’s triumphant headline set on the Thursday night of this year’s 2000trees (read our review here), there was no sign of anyone – or the weather – relenting or relaxing on the Friday. Mallavora kicked off proceedings on the Main Stage with one simple message: ‘We’re a band called Mallavora and we’re here to…
With a weather forecast in the 30s and a fully stacked line-up, it was clear 2000trees Festival 2025 was going to be a scorcher. Amidst the backdrop of a world in turmoil – something the vast majority of acts were keen to acknowledge – this year’s festival was needed for the whole community that calls…
While the sure-to-be triumphant headline sets from Kneecap, PVRIS, Taking Back Sunday and Alexisonfire and long-awaited Upcote Farm debuts from the likes of Million Dead and Letlive capture many of the headlines, one of the best things about 2000trees is the festival’s dedication to smaller or lesser-known acts – this year, they even have BAFTA…
We’re rapidly approaching festival season and there’s so much to look forward to this summer. Once again, some of the finest acts from the alternative sphere will be descending upon Upcote Farm in Gloucestershire for 2000trees Festival 2025. We’ll be there once again – and here are just five of the bands from the stacked…

Kneecap, PVRIS will co-headline the Thursday 10 July while Taking Back Sunday and Coheed and Cambria appear on Friday 11 July. Alexisonfire will close the festival on 12 July. Other exciting acts are the newly reformed Million Dead, La…
Saturday 13 July After a whirlwind three days, 2000trees wrapped up with a much-anticipated headline set from Don Broco. But things were again kicking off from 10.30am and there was a hell of a day in store with some of our personal favourites making welcome returns or debuts on Upcote Farm… Who wants circle pits…
Friday 12 July With typical Spectral Nights timing, a car-related emergency meant we only made it onto Upcote Farm in time for Sl0tface’s appearance on the main stage, missing our tips for Ones to Watch Buds and Bex in the process. We heard great things about both and will endeavour to see them soon. Sl0tface were…
