ONE of the most loved, successful UK rock festivals, is back!

Set in the stunning UK countryside in Withington, near Cheltenham, 2000trees Festival and is celebrating its 10th Year in 2016.

Originally launched after an idea formed whilst attending a large rock festival in 2006, borne out of frustration with the ever-increasing corporate sponsorship and

‘musical merry-go-round’ nature of the mainstream British festivals. As festival organiser James Scarlett explains - “This is 2000trees’ 10th anniversary so I’m very happy to say that without doubt we’ve booked our strongest ever line up. Twin Atlantic played for us way back in 2010 so to have them back as headliners in 2016 will be very special. And Refused are without doubt one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen so their Saturday night set will be something not to be missed. Bring it on!”

Already announced as headliners are Twin Atlantic and Refused, with Moose Blood, WSTR, While She Sleeps, Palm Reader, The Smith Street Band, Max Raptor, Blood Youth, Kagoule, Trash Boat, Beasts, Black Foxxes, Muncie Girls, Tigercub, Bellevue Days, Jim Lockey all ready to join in the fun.

Twin Atlantic, off the back a hugely successful campaign with 'Great Divide', find themselves headlining 2000trees Festival this summer. 'Great Divide' debuted at #6 in the UK album charts with the help of hit singles 'Heart and Soul’, 'Brothers and Sisters’ & ‘Hold On'. The success of the album saw the band take on their first ever headline arena show at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow to 10,000+ fans along with festival appearances at T In The Park, Reading and Leeds and Glastonbury. From frontman Sam McTrusty - "This will be our first headline performance at a festival in England. I hope you can be there and witness history in the making. Whenever we take on new experiences we always up our game, so expect to see one of our best shows to date. Really looking forward to returning to a festival that has given us so much love over the years. Very fond memories of playing the MainStage at one of the coolest festivals in the UK.”

Refused returned in 2015 with their first record in seventeen years titled 'Freedom'. They’ve been setting stages alight again for the past couple of years and proving why they’re still one of the most important punk bands of our time. Drummer David Sandtrom explains - "It's hardly the worst day on the job when it takes you to one of the prettiest places in Europe. We're very much looking forward to it. Also, we hope precautions are being taken so that the ferocity of our set doesn't drive out every badger in all the Cotswolds."

2000trees Festival is set on a beautiful site in the rolling Cotswold Hills, with nine onsite stages, including hidden away tents, stages and a stunningly set acoustic stage within a forest. There is also a silent disco from 11pm to 3am on two onsite stages.
