2000trees Festival have added another batch of blistering talent to its already stacked 2025 line-up, with Trash Boat, Cloud Nothings, Split Chain, and Calva Louise joining the party.
The award-winning Cheltenham weekender, known for its razor-sharp curation of rock, punk, hardcore, and leftfield alternative acts, continues to raise the bar with today’s announcement.
Leading the charge are Trash Boat, the ever-evolving five-piece from St Albans, known for merging raw emotion with explosive live energy. With a catalogue that’s grown heavier and more personal over time, their return to Trees is bound to be a highlight.
Joining them are Cloud Nothings, the Ohio indie-rock institution whose lo-fi grit and melodic chaos have seen them likened to the likes of Japandroids and Wavves. Their set promises to be a sweaty, singalong-laced storm of hooks and feedback.
Meanwhile, Split Chain bring the fury with their feral blend of metallic hardcore and UK grit. They’re one of the most exciting prospects in the new wave of British heavy music—a guaranteed pit-starter.
Rounding out the announcement is Calva Louise, whose genre-bending assault fuses punk energy with electronic surrealism, sci-fi visuals, and bilingual vocals. If you’re after a set that’s equal parts mosh and mind-trip, don’t miss them.
They’ll join the likes of Kneecap, Alexisonfire, Coheed & Cambria and Taking Back Sunday on a line-up that’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting in the festival’s history.
2000trees takes place from July 9–12, 2025, at Upcote Farm, near Cheltenham. With limited tickets remaining and excitement reaching boiling point, you’d better move fast if you want to be part of it. TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE
