Black Peaks say: “2000 Trees has always been a very special festival to our band – it’s a proper music festival for proper music fans, the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else, and once again the lineup is amazing.

“We’ve played with and met some awesome people at this festival. We can’t wait to be back and to bring some new tunes with us.”

The Xcerts add: “We are wildly psyched to be returning to 2000 Trees this year. We hold the festival very dear to our hearts and this will be our second time gracing the main stage. You better believe it’s going to be holy!”

Dream State say they’ve always wanted to play at the festival and add: “We go every year as fans of both the festival itself and the bands they book, so it was a pretty incredible moment for us to hear that we had been asked to play! To say that we cannot wait to perform is an understatement!”

Tickets for this year’s 2000 Trees are now available from the official festival website. Find the latest lineup poster below.
