Has there been any word about the football being shown on Wednesday?

apart from when the organisers replied to someone saying they wouldn't as it wouldn't be fair on the bands playing

Do you need a parking ticket if you're only doing one day? 

You do but only a day parking pass which is £5 instead of the £20 for full weekend

The organisers have been clear they aren't a fan of secrets sets. But if there was to be one... 

My money would be Bambie Thug on Thursday. They are good friends with Cassyette and Kid Brunswick who are playing that day. A little on the edge of 2KT tastes but would be fun.

looks like they've succumbed on the footy thing

Any word on what the silent disco sets will be on the different stages?

[Rusty Spoon]

Spanish Love Songs were outstanding last night, they were already on my list to see (x2) but what a band. Press Club have managed to earn themselves a slot in my clashfinder as well - luckily they're playing in one of my gaps.

 

I live fairly local to the site (under 30 minutes drive) and there's not been a dry day here in a good few days, possibly a week. It's continued to rain heavily overnight and still raining this morning. Even if the weather is dry, I'd expect it to be very muddy on the ground with the amount of traffic going over it and would recommend packing accordingly.

I'm loving the additions of some hip hop/ rap rock/ trap metal acts over the last couple years. Kid Bookie, Frozemode, Mimi Barks are standouts this year, let me know if I'm missing any!

[Rusty Spoon]

 

Someone had posted the map from site on Facebook. No changes from previous years it looks like. They have said they've opened up the back of the Forest so that should help a bit as it turned into a mudslide last year.

Is this a full on wellies situation or will walking boots be okay?

Hard to say without being on site. I'd imagine the usual spots - path next to the Axiom to Main Stage and entrance to the Forest will be fairly brutal come the Saturday though. Would love to be wrong however.

Amazing show, really delivered, BFE is such a great album. Looking forward to seeing them for a second and third time this week on Thursday. Has anything been put out on what the sets are, is the forrest an acoustic set?

 

I had no idea who the support was before ariving at the venue but will definitetly go and watch them again at the weekend, really got the crowd going with them.

Any Wednesday people there able to report back on what the ground is like? Can't find my wellies so keen to know how hard I should be searching for them!

[foolee]

Watched Unpeople and Better Lovers in Bristol last night. Both were on top form, make sure to catch both this weekend if you can. 

[Dales]

Anyone know if they sell alcohol free cider? Driving and would rather support the festival and buy from them especially if they are cold.

Arriving tonight for this evening and tomorrow! How’s it been so far? Also, is it vans weather or are docs required?

Vans would have been fine yesterday, only a few muddy spots. However , the ground is very springy/soft in lots of places but in general good shape with grass cover. Also lots of dry areas. I wonder if we get rain as forecast will the soft/springy bits get messy. I am sure a short shower or two would be fine and keep everything ok.

First time at 2000 trees yesterday just for the day. Loved it, really nice size and crowd and helped having one of my favourite breweries having a bar there. Nova Twins and Bob Vylan the highlights for me, Bob could have headlined IMO. Also impressed by As December Falls, Ramkot, Blood Command and Hot Milk. Well worth the £65 day price 

[JimMacVeigh]

Just back from 2000 Trees. My partner had her first ever moshpit experience during Bob Vylan and crowdsurf today to Frank Turner, that was genuinely probably my highlight for me, to see her so happy and excited. 

 

Frank was fantastic today and Blood Command on the Friday stole the show for me. Just intense fun. 

[Dales]

Anyone else see Frank Turner today wondering around in a shark head? Not much of a disguise as the face part was cut out, so you could see it was him.

[Rusty Spoon]

Unbelievable weekend as always. Glad my intel on the TIOY Xcerts set was correct. See you all next year.

[Nelson100]

First time at Trees this year. What a lovely festival! 

 

Everyone was really nice, the site was a great size, everything seemed clean, sound was good and the silent disco is awesome.

 

Buying my ticket for 2025 this week.

[Hinn]

Another first timer. Really good vibes, very well organised. Toilets were solid, just the perfect size for my liking. Cracked on to sort next year's ticket already.

 

The after hours innovation with live band silent disco was truly eye-opening, never ever experienced that before. For an innovation like that to go so smoothly, I'm so impressed at how the technicians have managed to pull that off so well. The artists doing those sets had done the crew justice. This needs to spread far and wide.

In case anyone missed the set, they're apparently touring the album later this year (November I believe).
