We’ve already looked at the smaller acts set to storm this year’s 2000trees festival and picked out our top 5 must-see moments, but this is a festival about far more than just music… We first started going to festivals at the turn of the millennium and the bigger ones did not offer much choice when…
2000trees is just around the corner and once again we’ll be making the journey to Gloucestershire to see a bunch of our favourites play sets on Upcote Farm. As ever, there’s a whole selection of smaller and new bands to check out over the four days – here are five we’d recommend listening to and…
2000trees – taking place at Upcote Farm near Cheltenham from 10-13 July – has added a number of new faces and returning heroes to its 2024 line-up.

A further 50+ bands have been added to 2000trees’ already stellar 2024 festival line-up. Joining the already-announced The Gaslight Anthem, Manchester Orchestra and The Mysterines are The Chats (headlining their first ever UK festival) the incredible and awe-inspiring Nova Twins and a much-anticipated set from Spanish Love Songs.

Although we’ve attended many 2000trees Festivals over the years, we’ve never quite managed to get to Upcote Farm on a Wednesday – until this year. You’d think it would be a nice and relaxed afternoon and evening to ease people into the weekend but that’s never going to be the case when Bob Vylan are…

We’ve been going to 2000trees on a regular basis since 2011 and over that time, we’ve seen some incredible performances in the beautiful Cotswolds sunshine (and 2012’s muddy sludge).
