2000TREES FESTIVAL 2026: FINAL ACTS ANNOUNCED

The 2000trees Festival machine is firing on all cylinders, officially crowning Neck Deep as the final Saturday headliners. It’s a massive homecoming of sorts; despite being global pop-punk heavyweights for over a decade, this marks their first time atop the main stage here, exactly ten years after their debut at the farm.

The lineup depth doesn't stop there. In a huge win for genre purists, the festival welcomes Sunny Day Real Estate for their first-ever appearance. Widely celebrated as the architects of the 90s second-wave emo movement, their set is already being labeled a "bucket list" moment for the 2000trees crowd. They are joined by a stacked deck of new additions, including MOBO winners ALT BLK ERA, Australian punk legends Cosmic Psychos, and the return of Brighton’s own The Xcerts. Rounding out the heavy hitters are Higher Power, who currently stand as one of the most vital voices in the UK hardcore scene.

Festival organizer James Scarlett shared his excitement regarding the 2026 roster: "There we go, that’s pretty much a wrap on the 2000trees 2026 line-up. We’re all incredibly proud of what we’ve put together this year, so to see it reflected in the best-selling year we’re ever had is an amazing feeling. We will have some returning bands we've missed and love like Marmozets and our big exclusive with Arcane Roots. Some new bands we are so excited about like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mariachi El Bronx and Pinkshift, as well as some returning heroes like Alkaline Trio, Funeral for a Friend, Cancer Bats, The Bronx and Dinosaur Pile-Up. Who in their right mind wants to miss all that It’s safe to say it’s going to be a real moment having Neck Deep return to close the festival 10 years on from their last Trees performance. Tickets are starting to sell out left, right and centre, so I’ll say it one last time - 2000trees 2026 is not one to be missed!"

With ticket sales currently pacing to make this the biggest year in the festival's history, the window to grab a spot at Upcote Farm is closing fast. The multi-award-winning event runs from July 8th to July 11th near Cheltenham, featuring five unique stages, including the fan-favorite Forest stage.
