2000trees Festival announce 21 new bands

21 new bands have been announced for next year’s 2000trees Festival!

After sadly having to postpone once again due to the COVID-19 pandemic, now, a whopping 21 new bands have been announced for the festival’s long-awaited return in 2022.

Leading the charge in today’s announcement is IDLES, who will headline the Saturday night, whilst Canadian punks PUP, reformed UK rockers YOUNG GUNS, US shoegazers HUNDREDTH, UK math hardcore legends ROLO TOMASSI (who perform as a UK festival exclusive) and fast rising politically minded two piece BOB VYLAN will all perform across the festival weekend in July next year.

Rounding out the latest announcement is CROSSFAITH, ROYAL REPUBLIC, KNEECAP, THE WYTCHES, CHUBBY & THE GANG, HAGGARD CAT, VUKOVI, PRESS TO MECO, BABY DAVE, BEANS ON TOAST, WILL VARLEY, LANDE HEKT, KATIE MALCO, LAURAN HIBBERD and LIZZY FARRALL.

The newly announced bands will all be joining already announced main stage headliners JIMMY EAT WORLD and THRICE, alongside the likes of DINOSAUR PILE UP, KNOCKED LOOSE, STICK TO YOUR GUNS, LAURA JANE GRACE, ANTI-FLAG and more.

Speaking about headlining next year’s festival, IDLES‘ Mark Bowen says, “2000trees were one of the first festivals to book us way back in 2015 before we even had an album out, they always support new music and bring something fresh to their audiences, giving opportunities for artists to reach their audience. To give us the opportunity to return as headliners, as a bigger, better and more gnarlier beast is an absolute privilege.”

2000trees Festival booker James Scarlett adds, “if anyone wanted proof that 2000trees 2022 is going to be the biggest and best yet then look no further than our Saturday headliners IDLES. They played on the Neu Stage back in 2016 so it’s pretty mad that a few years later they’ve grown big enough to headline the 2000trees main stage! It makes me very happy to see such a success story from an independent UK band. Also a quick word to the wise… more so than ever before, 2000trees is VERY likely to sell out VERY quickly this year. So if you want to come and party like it’s 2019 I’d suggest getting your ticket ASAP today! See you all in a field soon!”

2000trees Festival will take place at Upcote Farm, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire on July 6th-9th 2022. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.
