2000 Trees 2026

[readingnotleeds]

Was bored so had a bit of a stab at a 2027 / 20th anniversary poster.

Some of it is very optimistic but has a bunch of Trees classics too. 

Think Frank Turner will end up headlining but think he's perfect in the sun with a cider.

James basically said he's gonna throw money at Biffy and Reuben next year when he was reminded it was the 20th Trees next year. Don't think Biffy's resistance is money mind you.

Yeh it was partly inspired by listening to the last episode of the pod. Agree that money isn't the main issue, but think the fact they've accepted the Kendal Calling slot is a step in the Trees direction.

Yeah Frank wouldn't be anywhere but the top line. Your undercard would suffer massively with both Biffy and Shikari and I doubt it generally cosst that much with what they do get.

20 years of Trees and 20 years of Puzzles, think it being Puzzles in full would increase the odds of Biffy happening?

Is it? Kendal is still a much bigger festival than Trees

Kendal Calling is more than double the capacity of Trees and gets big headliners for that size. They're often around R&L small headliner or sub headliner level. Biffy are way too big for Trees.

 

The main issues are that it would just attract people coming for Biffy and not bothered by anyone else and that it might look bad for Biffy career wise to play a smaller festival. Honestly, if they want Biffy they should just say it's a secret headliner that won't be announced until the weekend of. Everyone will know it's Biffy and it gets around both issues.

Hot Mulligan for the last big main stage band? Could maybe fit beneath Alkaline Trio, think the Thursday is missing a big name, and pretty sure their tour finished after the last announcement

Hasn't even finished yet. The band is surely Trio's sub or Pup would be ahead of Superheaven on the poster.

Said it'll be with us in the next month

I do wonder if it'll be somebody playing Slam Dunk, they had a similar deal when announcing Hot Milk a few years ago

Do find it almost strange Deaf Havana aren't at Trees this year, but not sure they'd be a draw for the sub slot anymore 

 

Would personally be happy with Bury Tomorrow, but them into Alkaline Trio would be a bit of whiplash

 

Can imagine Tonight Alive playing in the future as Jenna seemed to love being there as Heavenshe, I doubt they'd be back in the UK so soon though 

 

President could be an option? Takedown is soon as well so could be something with that

 

[liamglastocrowhurst1]

Hot mulligan playing a high up slot makes sense and they were great last night in london so will happily see them again in the summer if they are here

I could see The Menzingers, would fit well between Pup and Trio

Can't Swim ain't ever coming back, vocalist I believe it was had multiple allegations and the band basically just dipped 

[Rusty Spoon]

Alkaline Trio and Deaf Havana headlined my first trees, would be nice to see them both at my tenth, especially if it's a FAWL set. Would also be a big fan of Hot Mulligan or The Menzingers being announced.
