Cheltenham’s 2000trees festival has quickly become one of the UK’s unmissable events over the calendar year. For next year’s edition of the pop punk/alternative rock festival at Upcote Farm, 2000trees have announced The Gaslight Anthem as 2024’s headliners, as well as a massive update on additional performers.

2024’s 2000trees festival has bolstered its lineup, adding huge acts such as Manchester Orchestra, Kids In Glass Houses, Hot Mulligan and Boston Manor. Set to kick off from 10-13 July, 2000trees is a notable UK festival, as the event is organised to showcase talent from the underground scene, as well as up and coming performers. For next year’s festival, the likes of Dead Pony, The Xcerts, Problem Patterns and Grove Street will have the chance to shine at a major festival that is sure to bring massive exposure.

Chief booker James Scarlett said of next summer’s festival, “Once again we’re bringing a line-up of 2000trees legends, including the likes of Boston Manor and The XCERTS, to open the festival on the Wednesday night for those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a four-day ticket. We’re also stoked to be welcoming so many bands like The Gaslight Anthem, Manchester Orchestra, Hot Mulligan and Better Lovers to the festival for the very first time. 2000trees 2024 is already shaping up to be something truly special – don’t sleep on it!” 

The festival is certainly aiming to capitalise on and further promote acts that have been grabbing the attention of fans and critics in recent months with groups such as Brighton’s Lambrini Girls, Southampton’s thrash/hardcore crossover band Grove Street and Glasgow’s Dead Pony all getting the opportunity to wow audiences with their exciting, pulse-raising live sets that have earned them much press coverage over the past year.

A stand out feature for 2024 will undoubtedly be Better Lovers-a supergroup made up of members of Dillinger Escape Plan and Everytime I Die. UK audiences will be eager to catch what will assuredly be a wildly chaotic and exhilarating performance from a band that promises true greatness in the years to come.

Founded in 2007, 2000trees festival was began by six friends who were tired of the mainstream festivals dominating the British Summer Time scene and yearning for a more underground celebration that featured bands that were less well known, up and coming or rooted in the alternative scene. The festival remains small, capping out at 15,000 attendees-giving it a close-knit atmosphere.

Tickets to the 2024 edition of the festival are on sale now and can be purchased here.
