After slowly but surely releasing the full line-up for the 2022 round of the Cheltenham music festival, 2000trees festival has finally revealed the fact that this is the full list. Set for July 6-9, the festival announced it’s headlining acts – Jimmy Eat World, Turnstile, and IDLES – back in October 2021. You Me At Six, Nova Twins and Twin Atlantic, come highest up the bill in terms of new inclusions. But features like; Boston Manor, KennyHoopla, Angel Du$t, Heavy Lungs, and many more cement 2000trees as one of the UK’s great alternative festivals at the moment.

With exactly 100 days until the festival takes place, tickets for the event are running a little thin. Discounted early bird, and super early bird tickets have long since sold out. But what few tickets remain for the standard pricing are still available. You can look into tickets here. In a statement released recently, festival organiser and booker James Scarlett said, “There is a lot to be excited about at Trees this year,” adding, “Particular highlights for me are Twin Atlantic doing a special forest acoustic set, the Xcerts headlining Wednesday night in the Forest with a full on rock set and just generally watching the best up & coming rock acts in the world (Cassyette, Salem, GIRLI etc etc etc). I can’t wait!”
Creeper vocalist Will Gould explained in an interview with NME, the importance of 2000trees for up and coming acts, “In some ways, festivals like 2000 Trees are more important because they highlight loads of smaller up and coming acts that are yet to break through. If you walk around that field, you will find your new favourite band. Those smaller festivals give younger acts the chance to play alongside their heroes and get a sense of what it even means to play a festival. It just prepares you for everything.“ See the festival’s full lineup below.
Last years edition of the 2000Trees Festival had been postponed due to ongoing Covid-19 issues as bands from outside the UK were not able to travel. Around 20 headliners bands couldn’t play this year including Jimmy Eats World & Thrice, Young Guns and The Get Up Kids. So just to keep thing ticking along, 2000trees joined forces with ArcTanGent at the end of last August, and put up a special replacement event in Bristol. They ran live gigs for 2 days and both announced a comeback for this year’s festivals edition.
