2000trees organiser Andy Rea added, "We've brought together the amazing artists from these two great labels to offer something unique to our fans, who have always loved the GreenHouse stage as a place to enjoy acoustic sets in the sunshine - and as Jack says it's a great way to get over a hangover! We're thrilled to be spending a fun-filled weekend with everyone and can't wait for these one-off treats for fans of new and underground British music."
