Are Beartooth a shout? I’m not seeing them on any EU festival lineups for next year though, maybe taking a break.

Didn't they just take a break to have a kid? I've never heard any nonce rumours about Marmozets.

My apologies, must be getting confused with another band, i've had a quick squizz on google and nothing is mentioned, seems like their back recording a new album or something too, so could be in for a shout!

@Andre91Malevolence here and Slam Dunk?

Outbreak and Slam Dunk, surely?

 

The fact that All American Rejects haven't been announced for anything yet might make them more likely for this. They're on the list of about remaining 15 bands that are realistic headliner prospects.

I think James was on the podcast the other week talking about headliners for Trees and made a comment about some being a bit too pop-punk/slam dunky and trying to avoid that. 

 

I can't really explain it, but I think Rise Against / Taking Back Sunday / Alkaline Trio have a bit more of that punk/emo element to them that I'm not sure if AAR have?

Guess that Slam Dunk announcement rules out the Menzingers 

[northernangel]

Now let's get AFI finally back.

Might just send the ticket back now

[TrashMammal]

I see A are down for Slam Dunk and have been posting about new material too. Surely wouldn't rule out a Trees appearance too?

I'd probably just grab an evening ticket

[readingnotleeds]

Few bits from the podcast / marketing email from Trees:

 

First band announcement next month 

Less than 500 Wednesday tickets left

Over 50 offers out to bands at the moment

There's a band that James has wanted for years that don't really tour often that he's now in good discussion with (could be Arctangent though didn't specify the fest) 

 

Not really big news but there you go

The one not touring often I reckon is AFI.

When you say "first band announcement" do you mean literally one band?

They don’t like that approach so suspect it will be at least half a dozen.

Well last year the first band announcement was just the gaslight anthem 🤷

And this year it was 5 headliners and 40 odd others. It'll literally be what they've got over the line and are allowed to announce.

Think that was only because gaslight wanted to announce alongside the tour

[Gejonimo]

Wherever AFI go, I'll be there. 

 

If you could also tack on Arcane Roots and Bloodhound Gang I'll be there but thrice as excited

I know, just pointing out it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they only announce one band

Who knows, was just the phrasing used in the email I had. Would expect at least one headline, a bunch of others and most of Wednesday (unless he holds that back till 4-day tickets have sold out)

Like Chavmeister said he just normally announces whichever bands have signed on the dotted line by then, unless he can't for other tours / contractual reasons

[Mcbatesman]

For me it's more I just wanna make a decision on whether to sack of the ticket or not before the cut off, the more bands announced the easier it is 🤣

Where has this rumour of Rise Against supporting MCR come from? My mate will be made up.

According to the latest trees podcast, it’s the Mars Volta for all UK tour dates and they are not interested in booking them for their off day.

 

The opinion the promoter has of the darkness (when talking about the Maiden show) also suggests they will never be booked for 2000 trees.

The mars Volta is an interesting support choice, with some of the song lengths they might only get to play 4! 🤣
