Joining them will be one of the UK’s finest The XCERTS, the phenomenal heavy sounds of US 5 piece Better Lovers, Liverpool 4 piece (and recent Arctic Monkeys support band) The Mysterines, chaotic Aussie chaps Dune Rats and LA funk dance insanity with the remarkable Thumpersaurus. Add to all this some of the worlds most exciting new and emerging bands, from Brightons CLT DRP, Every Hell and Lambrini Girls to Scottish superstars in the making Dead Pony and exceptional Belfast punk from Problem Patterns. As well as a dash of modern hardcore, punk and alt-noise with the likes of Teenage Wrist, Gouge Away, The Pale White, Enola Gay and Carsick, and 2000trees has already become an unmissable festival for your 2024 calendar.

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!”
From Kids In Glass Houses front man Aled Phillips – “2000trees feels like the perfect setting for us to begin our new era and we honestly can’t wait for next summer. Trees is such an important UK festival and we’re honoured to be back playing alongside so many incredible and inspiring bands.”
From Hot Mulligan guitarist Chris Freeman – “I’m really excited to be playing 2000trees. A bunch of our friends have been going over there for years and have nothing but good things to say about the festival. It’s going to be great to see it in person for once instead of living vicariously through videos.”
From Dead Pony guitarist, Blair Crichton – “Our first time at 2000trees was last year and we felt like we had come home. There is no other festival with an atmosphere like trees. They are cultivating a scene that promotes the youth and respects the past. We feel blessed to be invited back and onto bigger stages this year, it’s gonna be massive!!”
