Conjurer

It's almost that time again, as we prepare to pack our bags and make our way to Upcote Farm for one of our favourite festivals of the year, 2000trees. Year-on-year the line-up offers some of the best names in alternative music, so we've picked our must-see bands at this year's festival!

There are more encouraging build ups to a major UK summertime festival than an entire week of continuous, heavy rain, but for the regulars of Download Festival, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Lovingly nicknamed Drownload, it’s often plagued by inclement weather, but while clothes, bodies and campsites may be sodden before a single band has even played a note, it takes more than adverse conditions to dampen the spirits of UK metal fans.

Even more bands join the 2000trees line-up!

Download confirms Halestorm, Clutch, Stone Temple Pilots and 40 more bands.

ArcTanGent have announced a whopping 39 bands!

With 2000trees Festival almost upon us we're grabbing our tents, packing our essentials and we are ready for another fun weekend at Upcote Farm. There are so many amazing bands on the line-up, but we've taken the time to choose some of our hot picks - we'll see you down the front!

21 more names have been confirmed for ArcTanGent Festival!
