2000 Trees 2023

[justanothername]

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.

Sigur Ros playing an outdoor show in Berkshire on 2 July, with no other dates until Mad Cool on July 6. Could they be an outside punt? Too big? Wrong fit?

[JoeT]

Sigur Ros have other commitments in Europe during Trees, and probably not quite the right fit anyway.

Greg Puciato playing a festival in Europe late June... Download more likely but an outside hope of Trees.

One can dream at least...

Re: headliners - do we think AFI are completely dead in the water now or still possible? Would have thought they would have been announced already if they were booked personally.

Still like The Gaslight Anthem as a shout for one of our missing headliners. Recently announced US tour dates for May and teased more to come on their Facebook page.

Yep, just added to Download.

I thought the same about Gaslight Anthem when I saw those US dates announced. A European festival run seems likely and they seem a good fit for a Trees headliner.

Given their absence from Download's announcement today - where they would have been a good pick to play atop the third stage - going to consider them a very strong bet for this.

Coheed at Download probably kills their chances of headlining Trees a month later - crushed 😔

Yeah, that is a bit of a bummer, that one.

[Gummy de Milo]

Some headline possibilities then, idk how likely but seem possible, and I've got some time to kill and ponder...

FIDLAR - new music out and have no shows booked other than the US between now and May.

Gaslight Anthem - same touring situation as Fidlar, overdue some UK shows.

AFI - Obvious reasons.

Funeral for a Friend - fit the bill, already booked for 1 EU fest in June.

Alexisonfire - yeah playing DL in June, but they're also at Rock the Park in London the week after trees so there's no exclusivity and they're doing EU shows.

Billy Talent - pretty much the same as Alexisonfire, although them playing Slam Dunk makes me doubtful.

Frank Turner- would be a bit underwhelming but it has felt like a while since he played, and has a gap in his dates throughout July.

The Mars Volta - probably more likely to end up at ATG, but they have new material out and are touring in Europe this summer.

Don Broco - Only dates are R&L and they're probably a decent shout for a headline slot.

Random stuff that probably won't happen but I can hope: Fightstar reunion, Title Fight reunion, Deftones, Fontaines DC, Gojira, Glassjaw, Mogwai

Lmao my bad, turns out there is a London in Canada

[JoeT]

As are Billy Talent. Neither are going to be playing Trees this year.

[DomDom1984]

I'd say Don Broco have overtaken 2000 Trees in stature at this point.

Damn, I've not followed them in a while, have they actually gotten that big? Thought they were like sold out academy size?

[JoeT]

Trees surely have to be sitting on at least one headliner due to touring commitments. Broco fit that category.

With 19 weeks to go until the festival, only releasing one headliner so far would not be by design with so much competition from other festivals.

[justanothername]

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

I wish we had laugh reacts for posts

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

New band a day up to and including the 27th 

[justanothername]

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.

[atomised]

the Frank turner tour ending certainly fits this 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

It's generally smaller bands when they do this. Biggest I remember getting was Creeper last year but that was very much an outlier.

[the_arsonist]

ATG did the same in December and announced 2 of their headliners on the band per day for a week thing so could still get one or 2 headliners?

[JimMacVeigh]

Black Honey are first up. 

[sacred shape]

Love Black Honey. Been following them since before their debut and Written and Directed was a great album

He's already announced for a festival in the UK that's after Trees. The bloke always has future tours announced so I don't think they'd need to keep him secret for ticket sales sake 😂
