2000trees has announced its first wave of acts for its 20th anniversary edition, taking place from 7–10 July 2027. Pop-punk band New Found Glory will play two sets at the festival, celebrating 30 years as a band. They will close the main stage on Thursday night and play another set in the Forest on Friday.
Also announced is a reunion of the beloved band Reuben, who were scheduled to play in 2008 before going on hiatus. The festival also has a camp named after the band.
Elsewhere on the line-up are Creeper, Mannequin Pussy, The Menzingers, unpeople, Fever 333, Chalk and more.
The 2027 event will also feature a takeover of the Forest on Friday by The Revival Tour, curated by Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music and featuring Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem and Dave Hause.
2000trees organiser James Scarlett says: “I’m very proud of where we are as we come into celebrating 20 years! It is still the original six friends who started 2000trees, and we’re all still involved in some way, and that isn’t going to change. We’ve held on to being independent and continued our original aim, which was to create a festival that we would want to go to ourselves and nurture new artists just as much as we want to celebrate the bigger acts.”
“It seems wild to think how it began and to have the rich history of acts like Frank Turner, Idles, Wolf Alice, George Ezra, Kneecap and so many more that have gone on to incredible things. 2027 is going to be a massive celebration.”
