2000trees have confirmed more names for their 2026 event, set to take place between 8th – 11th July at Upcote Farm, near Cheltenham.
Funeral For A Friend have been confirmed as headliners, joining previously announced Alkaline Trio. The exclusive performance will mark Funeral For A Friend‘s first appearance at the festival in over 13 years.
“Headlining 2000trees feels incredibly special for us,” says Ryan Richards. “As we head into the 25th anniversary year of the band, we’re very conscious that at this stage in our career we only want to do things that genuinely mean something – things we’ve not done before – and this is absolutely one of them. 2000trees is one of our favourite festivals in the UK. It’s always carefully curated, surrounded by like-minded bands and peers, and set in beautiful surroundings that makes the whole experience feel unique. To be part of it in this way is something we’re hugely proud of.”
In addition to Funeral For A Friend, The Bronx/Mariachi El Bronx (UK festival exclusive), Marmozets, Arcane Roots (UK exclusive), A, Militarie Gun, The Scratch, As Everything Unfolds, Petrol Girls, Anthony Green, The Skints, Dead Pioneers and more have been confirmed in this latest announcement.
“Having Funeral For A Friend return to 2000trees for the first time since 2013, after growing to a legendary status – and fronted by Lucas from Holding Absence, an absolute staple of 2000trees – feels like the perfect summary of what this festival is about,” comments festival organiser and booker, James Scarlett. “As their only show of 2026 and guaranteed to be jammed full of the hits, this is not to be missed for any Funeral For A Friend fan! I’m also over the moon to be adding even more quality to the festival bill with this announcement. So many 2000trees favourites like Arcane Roots (festival exclusive), Marmozets and The Bronx, as well as some long overdue legends. Mariachi El Bronx. Playing the festival for the first time, on the Main Stage, in the sunshine, with a pint in hand – say no more!”
