“We’ve been overwhelmed by the early bird ticket sales for 2020 and we’re definitely on the way to a sell-out year,” comments the festival’s James Scarlett. “I’m very proud of the line up we’ve put together and I think it shows the usual 2000trees mix of classic bands, new bands breaking big and your-favourite-new-band you are about to discover. So check out the Trees Spotify playlist, grab a ticket and we’ll see you at sunny Upcote Farm in July!”
Last year saw 2000trees ban plastic and introduce the GreenGoblet cup scheme, which contributed to a six tonne reduction in waste compared to 2018. They also had Frank Water at the festival for the first time, serving 6, 700 litres of chilled filtered water from their kiosks, saving around 13, 500 single use plastic bottles from ended up in landfill or oceans.
In 2020 2000trees will be teaming up with two charities: Attitude Is Everything, who work with audiences, artists and the live music industry to improve Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music; and TREE AID, which works with local communities to help them protect and grow trees, for themselves and for future generations..
2000trees Festival takes place between 9th-11th July 2020 at Upcote Farm near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 24th January, available HERE.
