It's sold, tickets aren't available. There is nothing bar Download that never sells out anyway stopping them from announcing them.

You can still get Creeper tixs for their London show.

Upper balcony tickets to a show like Creeper 2.5 hours drive away from the Cheltenham site isn't going to make any difference right now. They let Download Festival announce, 100k ticket site while they had a lot available. I think we are clutching here.

OK.  Come on" This is Trees.  Let's get this show back on the road.  It's not October anymore.

What's the latest we know?

Looking back at 2019 I think we had 101 bands (excluding Forest), 8 or 9 on each of the four stages on each of the three days (Thur-Sat).  

Looking at the website (I know it's not perfect!) I think I can see 85 bands allocated to these four stages for the three days of 2022.   So does that mean that we're having less bands or, fingers crossed, there's another announcement or two to come?

Surely there's room for Creeper and The Menzingers?!  And for goodness sake, where are Skinny Lister?

Any thoughts, rumours, gossip or just downright "would love it if they added"....

There's lots more bands to announce, and a few big slots left. It's only one doom and gloom merchant who needs to make sure every penny he spends is well catered for or he writes it off as shit, don't worry.

Personally trees is the kinda festival I'd go to even if I only wanted to see a couple of bands. It's the best weekend of the year every year hands down.

Thanks Mr Deluxe - I wasn't really worried but nice to have some confirmation!

We love Trees and go every year - always something new to discover!  What really surprises me when comparing Trees to other festivals attended is that, as far as I can see, its only ever sold out once.

To me, the line-ups are as good if not better than similar / bigger festivals yet the tickets don't shift.  Good for the vibe maybe but not so good for the festival's bank account and ultimately its future.

Hope that doesn't make it two doom and gloom merchants now!

I think its sold over 10,000 tickets a couple of times when that was the capacity, they just realised they could fit more in!

Still a couple of The Menzingers shaped holes there. Fingers crossed

They'd headline one of the tents so won't be the TBC's there so one of the sub spots on main stage would have to be them if they're playing.

I'm thinking Hundred Reasons might take one of the high TBC slots once the tour is done, or be the secret set.

I was surprised with all the Cave headliners to some extent, definitely seem a bit smaller than last few years but on the other hand, the Axiom headliners seem a bit bigger so it probably all balances out.

Yeah it seems as the two stages have sort of swapped.

It seems that they majority of acts left to be announced are playing in decent size spots, especially on the mainstage.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
