2000 Trees

[WFD]

I'd be disappointed with Twin Atlantic as a headliner to be honest - repeat headliner from two years ago when the festival otherwise seems to be increasing its range of headliners and strength in depth.  Decent undercard booking but even then it's a curious move for them to take a step down so quickly.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

If the rumours they had Brand New booked were true then maybe not much they could do when trying to get a replacement once most bands had been booked in for summer fests already. Could be that bigger targets already had exclusive deals or what have you elsewhere. Perhaps they tried for Turner but didn't work out logistically with the US tour.

Yep, Twin Atlantic.

Urgh, Moose Blood.

Happy enough with Twin, though get the feeling they weren't first choice.

[WFD]

Like I said before, Twin Atlantic are a slight disappointment but can see everyone's point that they maybe were a fallback option.

Happy with We Were Promised Jetpacks and Courage My Love for a bit of variety, and Mastersystem (Frightened Rabbit/Editors side project) are an interesting addition.

Good all round line up now, happy with it and looking forward to it.

[UndergroundSound]

So happy with Avalanche Party, Twin Atlantic are a bit of a let down but not unhappy with them at all.

Were the Moose Blood allegations proven to be true? Not too clued up on the whole case.

No, they launched legal proceedings after denying it, don't believe there's been an update since then.

Moose blood ... disappointed but not surprised 

[justanothername]

That's underwhelming. Don't see why they'd wait so long for that. Also bun Moose Blood. 

At least Palm Reader are a decent addition 

[Andrinald]

I notice a few bands have switched days too... Fatherson / ASIWYFA / Press To Meco amongst others.

 

I'm overall very happy with the line up but we were really spoiled with The Wonder Years and The Menzingers as Cave headliners last year (although I do love me some Creeper).

[tbrock]

Twin Atlantic is a pretty big let down for me considering that I thought it was going to be Frank Turner for sure.  But with that said Palm Reader, Woes, Cove, Sikth are all awesome.  Keen to check out We Were Promised Jetpacks as well, and I know that I'm going to shamelessly catch Moose Blood as well....

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Not too sure why some are so surprised Moose Blood have been booked. Was fairly obvious Trees would book them after they continuously booked Itch after the accusations against him came out. 

[Andrinald]

Just done a rough calculation, think there about another 14 or so bands (excluding Forest Sessions etc).

Do we think there is still a Cave headliner to go? I think there probably is as I reckon Moose Blood will sub Enter Shikari and call see Sikth headlining it. Unless Moose Blood do.

Still hoping for something more along the lines of The Wonder Years / Menzingers from last year.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Think we're still due a potential 2 cave headliners (Thursday's could be Black Peaks but not sure)  and Twin Atlantics sub. Is that 14 based on last year? Because Thursday will obviously have more than previous 

[Andrinald]

Yeah I was thinking it might be Black Peaks but could definitely be someone else. 

The 14 bands was based on the clashfinder that someone was working on (which has the extra main stage bands on it) - https:///s/2000trees2018/?user=0d6md8.oy&

[huntyyy]

Didn't Moose Blood headline a stage last time they played? Imagine they'll play Main Stage this time.

I thought for a second that most of those bands had actually been confirmed for main and was imagining how empty the main field was gonna be most of the day ha

[Andrinald]

Ah just checked the link, they hadn't updated the new bands at all when I checked. Yeah some of those would be quite bold bookings...

Yeah they still haven't

[oakdown]

Clashfinder is mine and based entirely on guesswork (for band's without an official stage listed on the site), and timings/numbers on the template from last year. Honestly there's a fair few names on there I don't recognise so there's bound to be some pretty off-base positions for the minute. Edits from those who know better would be very much welcomed.

Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit has been found dead  R.I.P

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Sad news.

[TheWaters]

Really sad news, R.I.P. Do we think they'll carry on with someone new or disband? I'd think they'll probably pull out of any fest appearances this year :/

Really can't see them continuing, and even if they do they almost certainly won't be playing this or any other festival. Same for Scott's side project Mastersystem who were due to play on the Saturday.
