Hold onto your bucket hats and battered Vans, butt โ 2000trees Festival 2026 is shaping up to be one of the rowdiest, riff-heavy line-ups the Gloucestershire fields have ever seen! ๐๏ธ๐ธ
๐ฒ WEDNESDAY WARM-UP โ SMALL STAGE, MASSIVE ENERGY
Things kick off early with PUP, Sprints, The Dirty Nil, and Lake Malice tearing through the opening night. Expect chaos, pits, and probably someone attempting a backflip near the vegan burrito stand.
Support from Venus Grrrls, Thrill Collins, Bruise Control, Love Rarely, Split Chain, and Karen Dio proves once again that Trees doesnโt โease inโ โ it detonates. ๐ฅ
๐ THURSDAY โ ALKALINE TRIO TAKE OVER
Pop-punk royalty Alkaline Trio headline Thursday, and if that doesnโt get your eyeliner running already, Superheaven, PUP (yes, theyโre playing again), and Bad Nerves will absolutely finish the job.
Also storming the stages: LEAP, The Dirty Nil, Adore, Deadwax, Cowboy Builders, Lonesome, Lemonsuck, I Donโt Dance, Snake Eyes, and So Good. Itโs a day for sing-alongs, sweat, and possibly tears (from joy, probably). ๐ญ๐ค
๐งโโ๏ธ FRIDAY โ LAMBRINI GIRLS, CANCER BATS & CHAOS
Fridayโs looking spicy, mun. Punk powerhouses Lambrini Girls headline alongside the almighty Cancer Bats, bringing feral energy and feminist fury to the farm.
Expect carnage from Free Throw, Saturdays At Your Place, and House of Protection, with stacked support from Aerial Salad, Banks Arcade, Call Me Amour, Footballhead, Rogues Gallery, Guillotine, Tropigala, Truck, and Her Girl.
Another mystery headliner is still TBA โ and knowing Trees, itโs gonna be massive. ๐
๐ฅ SATURDAY โ GLASSJAW, DINO PILE-UP, HIGH VIS & MORE
And then comes the grand finale. Glassjaw are headlining (their first UK appearance in yonks!) โ a seismic booking thatโll make every post-hardcore heart melt. Joining them are Dinosaur Pile-Up, High Vis, Pinkshift, Nothing, I Am The Avalanche, and the wild, unhinged HO99O9 (bring earplugsโฆ or donโt).
The undercardโs stacked too: Carolesdaughter, Have Mercy, Big Special, Carsick, Bat Sabbath, Club Brat, Peach, Frozen Out, Javier, Kent Osborne, Virmagnis, and loads more.
Again, one final headliner TBA โ could it be another legacy act? Or something completely mental like The Prodigy? Either way, the pitโs ready. ๐บ๐
๐๏ธ TICKETS & INFO

๐ค OUR TAKE โ WHY 2000TREES STILL RULES
Thereโs a reason 2000trees is the heart of the UKโs alternative scene โ itโs intimate, chaotic, and all killer, no filler. Whether youโre screaming along to Glassjaw, stage-diving to Lambrini Girls, or crying to Superheaven, this oneโs going down as a tidy year, mun. ๐ด๐ฅ
Proper job. See you in the pit. ๐ฅ๐ธ
