Prince Daddy & the Hyenna playing a festival in the US on the Saturday so guess they're playing on the Thursday. Also side note would love to see Charmer, Arms Length, Carly Cosgrove and Saturdays at Your Place from that line up would be amazing though not holding my breath. Also Militarie Gun are supporting Rival School on their EU & UK tour. There is an asterisks next them saying "club dates only" but I would love it if they were at Trees.

Frank Turner's tour finished at the end of last week and Neck Deep's tour with Yungblud finishes it's UK leg this week. Maybe we'll get a headliner on one of the days.

1. Touchè Amorè 2. PUP 3. Soul Glo 4. BMTH 5. Pendulum 6. The Blackout 7. Slipknot 8. Pupil Slicer 9. Neck Deep 10. Metallica Also got Graphic Nature, Enola Gay, Greg Puciato that I'm really stoked for as well

Don Broco are playing similar sized venues to You Me at Six. They're not too big for Trees just yet.

What's modern about these two? They both started in the 20th century. Also Download has always never really had a track record of booking Black Metal bands. Why are you acting all surprised now? If you want these types of act go to something like Damnation fest.

Didn't know you were mates with thewayiam

Ok announcement for me. PUP the only standout band for me. Still plenty of stuff I would see if nothing else was on though: Pertubator, A.A. Williams, The Bronx, Mom Jeans., Carpenter Brut, Neck Deep, Bob Vylan, Greg Puciato and Hatebreed

Can also add Pup and Mom Jeans (I think so) to that list

American Football have just been announced to be supporting The 1975 a week before 2000trees. Obviously not big enough to headline but would love to see them on the line up somewhere.

Would love some more hardcore, particularly some British bands playing this year. A few of Guilt Trip, Last Wishes, The Flex, Going Off, XL LIFE, Stiff Meds, Mourning and Cauldron would be nice.

All I ask for is Turnstile

Just answered your own question right there mate.

I feel like I was seeing The Front Bottoms loads between 2016-19. Feels kinds werid that they haven't toured over here since R&L 2019.

Swans, Empire State Bastard, Petbrick, Enslaved, Dawn Ray'd, Project MishraM and 15 others added. Though who those 15 are I'm not too sure as it's difficult playing spot the difference and they haven't given the full list yet.

+1 on Fleshwater. Their album last year was one of my favourites of the year. Would recommend for people who like Deftones and Loathe. Also Trees has always booked Punk and some Indie bands. Slaves and Nothing But Thieves headlined in 2017. I'd say that Trees is more a Punk and Alt Rock festival. I don't think there is anymore than usual or they're trying to catter to a wildly different demographic. The current line up still feels very 2000trees to me. There is always plenty of Garage Punk and a handful of Post Punk bands every year but they always the ones that seem a bit more raw to me. Someone about The Hives just seem a bit off to me, it's like how a band like Fontaines D.C. wouldn't play despite Post Punk being booked frequently.

Frank Turner is the big one but if Trees were struggling for headliners, they could have easily bumped up Skindred. Also PUP played last year so highly doubt they will be back. I reckon they will be at Download and I think City and Colour have played around Trees a few times but never been booked. Happens every year, a few bands suitable for Trees tour Europe around the same time but skip Trees. It even happens to bands like La Dispute and Converge who played ATG in the past missed Trees despite being around and suiting the festival. Ehhh I wouldn't be so sure. Twin Atlantic played Slam Dunk in 2018 and headlined Trees the same year. We had to wait until May for them to be announced though 1, people think that they replaced Brand New and 2, playing low down on the main is far different to headlining a different festival.

100% recommended Origami Angel if you like Price Daddy and Press to Meco. Me and other Trees goers are really pleased with this and that's mainly due to the undercard. I reckon they'll have no trouble selling this line up. Headliners are probably being held back due to tours.

So buzzed with that!! Origami Angel is the huge stand out for me! Love the additions of Martha, Casey, One Step Closer, High Vis, The Chisel, Chubby and the Gang, Fleshwater, Going Off and Prince Daddy. So hyped with that.

Announcement at 2pm

Tbf, I'm surprised we didn't get any sort of announcement this month to coincidence with January payday. There is usually an announcement around now. I expect the next one the end of February as well.

It's a helicopter in new york. New York helicopter sounds very similar to Newport helicopter. I'm convinced it's Skindred.

I would say all 3 aren't Trees bands. As far as I am aware, there hasn't been a metal band headline trees. It's always typical been someone that fits a general description of alt rock, punk or emo. Most metal bands that play trees are typically either ATG bands, or metalcore bands with an emphasis on the core. That being said, wouldn't be surprised with Skindred, but I'll be hoping for something like The Wonder Years will be on at the same. Also good point about clues, I'm still trying to wrap my head around "Rose is a Liar" hinting towards Converge for ATG.

Swear they're touted every year and have even been in the UK the same week as Trees and never played. Don't see it starting this year.

Posted a picture of a helicopter as a clue. It's not going to be Bloc Party is it? EDIT: Mate also pointed out it could be Skindred. Would rather have neither
