Getting bigger and better since their inception in 2007, 2000 Trees once again takes over Upcote Farm in Gloucestershire for a weekend packed full of alt rock shenanigans. Having won the award for the best medium sized festival at the UK Festival Awards last year, we're confident this years iteration will be as full of fun as ever.

1. Snayx
Thurs 11th 13:00 - 13:30 Main Stage
Fri 12th 00:25 - 1:00 Forest Sessions (Silent Disco Live Set)
From their cheeky charm to their riotous stage antics - Snayx are one of the best live acts in the game. Consistently taking their sets as big and lively as possible, you can be sure from the point the first bassline kicks in that you're guaranteed a non-stop good time.
2. Enola Gay
Thurs 11th 14:30 - 15:00 The Axiom
Fri 12th 17:40 - 18:10 Wednesday Word
Named as one of the most booked acts across European festivals back in 2022 - you can soon see why Belfast based noise punks Enola Gay captured the live scene. Bringing fury beneath a wall of noise and beauty layered in the nuances, this band shouldn't be pigeon-holed - and they most definitely shouldn't be missed!
3. Knives
Thurs 11th 11:30 - 12:00 The Axiom
Quickly developing a reputation for their electrifying live shows, Bristol band Knives bring their powerful punk to The Axiom. Laying down their grit and angst, this set is sure to set the bar high early in the day.

5. Snake Eyes
Sat 13th 11:30 - 12:00 Main Stage
