Now in its 19th year, 2000 Trees continues to strike the perfect balance between underground spirit and major-festival ambition. Founded by fans, not corporations, it’s built around community, sustainability, and musical discovery. With its forested Cotswolds backdrop and famously friendly crowd, it remains a bucket-list experience for rock fans across the UK and today they’ve announced a whopping 86 bands for their first announcement for next summers edition.

Leading the charge for 2026 are Alkaline Trio, Glassjaw, and Dinosaur Pile-Up, with several headline slots still to be revealed keeping fans buzzing about who might close out the festival.

Thursday’s top billing goes to Chicago punk veterans Alkaline Trio, whose dark melodies and biting lyricism have made them one of the scene’s most enduring forces. Saturday’s crown belongs to Glassjaw, marking a rare and eagerly awaited UK appearance from the post-hardcore pioneers. Meanwhile, alt-rock powerhouses Dinosaur Pile-Up and high-octane favourites PUP promise chaos and catharsis in equal measure across the weekend.

Also confirmed are Bad Nerves, Superheaven, Lambrini Girls, Cancer Bats, High Vis, Ho99o9, Nothing, Pinkshift, and Have Mercy showcasing a cross-section of the scene’s most dynamic acts.

Early bird access officially opens at 9 a.m. on 13th July 2025, with full weekend tickets starting at around £195. Options for VIP upgrades, glamping, and campervan passes will follow in the coming months but those looking for the best value are encouraged to jump in early.
