All bands announced today:

NECK DEEP (Main Stage headliner), SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE, MOUTH CULTURE, MALLORY KNOX, THE XCERTS, ALT BLK ERA, COSMIC PSYCHOS, HIGHER POWER, DELILAH BON, THE SKINNER BROTHERS, SAINT AGNES, BODYWEB, BLEECH 9:3, HAGGARD CAT (Live Silent Disco), HYRO THE HERO, J’CUUZI, LONG GOODBYE, BEAUTY SCHOOL, OVERGROWN, SUDS, HIGH REGARD, SILO, THORNS.

Speaking about the final additions, festival organiser James Scarlett comments, “there we go, that’s pretty much a wrap on the 2000trees 2026 line-up. We’re all incredibly proud of what we’ve put together this year, so to see it reflected in the best-selling year we’ve ever had is an amazing feeling. We will have some returning bands we’ve missed and love like MARMOZETS and our big exclusive with ARCANE ROOTS. Some new bands we are so excited about like SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE, MARIACHI EL BRONX and PINKSHIFT, as well as some returning heroes like ALKALINE TRIO, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, CANCER BATS, THE BRONX and DINOSAUR PILE‑UP. Who in their right mind wants to miss all that? It’s safe to say it’s going to be a real moment having NECK DEEP return to close the festival 10 years on from their last Trees performance. Tickets are starting to sell out left, right and centre, so I’ll say it one last time – 2000trees 2026 is not one to be missed!”
