2000 Trees 2023

[itskinglizard]

I'd actually be stoked to have Skindred there tbh they're always fun, I can't really think of any other thing a helicopter clue could be other than them and Bloc Party

unless the clue is like, buildings? skyline? cities? City And Colour not big enough surely?

Based on the photo of the helicopter they tweeted and based on nothing, Trees and ATG are very good at hiding clues 

Good Charlotte- Lifestyles of the rich and the famous video.

Empire State Bastard- Vennart and biffys side project, the empire state building in the background

It's a helicopter in new york.

New York helicopter sounds very similar to Newport helicopter.

I'm convinced it's Skindred.

Can't wait to hear their stuff, really excited

50 bands being announced, pretty sure one of them is Skindred, not the most interesting band but would be very fun.

Im just hoping for Viagra Boys, FIDLAR, and Harm's Way to appear in some way.

[Mamba]

Just looking at the Rock Werchter line up for any clues (week before Trees). Touche Amore? City & Colour? Pup and/or Nova Twins again?

Announcement at 2pm

[justanothername]

[sacred shape]

So still two headliners to come? This is a pretty weak announcement ngl

[sacred shape]

Also, Guise has been added.  Frank Turner confirmed?

[justanothername]

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.

[iistroudley]

Not awful, As Everything Unfolds are quality so buzzing with that. So we’ve still got a Thursday and Friday headliner to be announced?? 

[Gummy de Milo]

Pretty weak announcement, The Bronx, Fleshwater, Kid Kapichi, and Skindred are about it for me... seems kinda bland compared to last year

[sacred shape]

Just seen that Press To Meco's new band Unpeople is there too. Some small bands I didn't see on the tweet like Prince Daddy, As Everything Unfolds, St Pierre Snake Pit Invasion and Dead Poet Society are all cool

[sacred shape]

Full list of additions (bold = I'm happy about)

Skindred / Deaf Havana / Empire State Bastard / The Bronx / Kid Kapichi / Chelsea Grin / Martha / Casey / One Step Closer / Meat Wave / The Xcerts / High Vis / The 900 / ARXX / As Everything Unfolds / Ayron Jones / Bad Nerves / BEX / BLACKGOLD / Cody Frost / Cuffed Up / Dead Poet Society / Fleshwater / Funke and The Two Tone Baby / Giver / Going Off / GUISE / Hannah Grae / Haunt the Woods / Kelsy Karter & The Heroines / Kite Thief / Lake Malice / Lakes / Loose Articles / Lozeak / Lynks / Mimi Barks / Motherhood / Narrow Head / New Pagans / Origami Angel / Paledusk / Prince Daddy & the Hyena / PROJECTOR / Reminders / RXPTRS / SUDS / Toodles & The Hectic Pity / unpeople / Witch Fever

I'm very confused why we are still missing two headliners. This line up is good but it doesn't have many big ticket shifters. Trees has a solid base of regular attendees but can't see many people being pulled in by this line up, especially this latest announcement has nothing that going to pull in numbers. Are they struggling to book headliners?

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.

Any suggestions of who is on tour at the moment that could be candidates to headline this?

 

Surprised some of the aforementioned acts like Pup and City and Colour that are around in Europe at the right time aren't playing this (or at least, haven't been announced yet...)

[Andre91]

What are Chelsea Grin doing amongst all of that!? 😄

I'm also happy with the line up, there's certainly a dozen or more bands I want to see and plenty more I've heard good things about that I now have some incentive to explore more. I think for trees core audience its a good undercard, from a pure business stance however they need to sell tickets beyond those that return every year. I don't think this line up does that, I may be wrong. The other headliner announcements could be tied up by contracts etc but its odd they haven't touched on it at all.

Frank turner is out on tour this week so more convinced than ever he's one and it can't be announced til tours done. it is odd they haven't even mentioned headliners though

These suggestions, plus Frank Turner above, feel a bit repetitive and slightly stale to me. I know that's a classic criticism of Trees, and don't want to disrespect them as I really admire them being independent and have had a great time the three years I've been. Can't help but feel like a bit more of a curveball or exclusive near the top of the bill would make a big difference here (still got my fingers crossed for The Gaslight Anthem!).

[BlackFoxx]

Also I'm less familiar with the undercard, and the website doesn't seem to have its "For Fans Of" links in place as part of the line-up page like it usually does. If anyone could recommend anything that's more on the Gaslight Anthem, City and Colour, Basement, Muncie Girls, side of things I'd really appreciate it!

[theramm]

Frank Turner & NBT for the other headliners.

[BlackFoxx]

If anyone is interested, I have a 4-day ticket rolled over from last year that I'll probably have for sale via DICE. Drop me a message if you're interested.
