About 2000trees 2027
2000trees 2027 runs Wednesday July 7 to Saturday July 10 at Upcote Farm, in the Cotswolds hills outside Cheltenham, and it is the festival's 20th anniversary. The first 66 acts went up on November 5. New Found Glory headline and play twice to mark 30 years as a band: once closing the Main Stage, and once in the Forest on Friday for a set of deep cuts. The Menzingers, Creeper, Mannequin Pussy, Reuben, Hot Water Music, Fever 333 and Bayside are on the next lines, and more headliners are still to come.
2000trees started in 2007 and is still run by the people who founded it, with no corporate owner. It books rock, punk, emo and hardcore across the Main Stage, the Forest, The Cave and The Axiom, and the anniversary bill leans on that history: INME play the set they played at the very first festival in 2007, The Menzingers play After the Party for its tenth birthday, and Reuben come back after years away, with their singer Jamie Lenman also billed solo. On Friday The Revival Tour takes over the Forest with Brian Fallon, Chuck Ragan, Dave Hause, Dan Andriano, Tim Barry, Emily Barker and Jenny Owen Youngs.
The festival says more than 85% of tickets were sold in July, before a single act was named. Early bird weekend tickets are £220, four days (needed to get in on Wednesday) £270, and VIP from £315, with camping included on everything except day tickets, which are £95. Under 18s must be with an adult.
Expect rock, alternative, punk and metal across 66 acts.
