2000trees Festival has revealed its first wave of artists for 2027, with New Found Glory announced as the first main stage closer as the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Returning to Upcote Farm near Cheltenham from 7 to 10 July 2027, the festival will welcome New Found Glory for their first ever appearance, with the pop punk favourites performing two exclusive sets to celebrate 30 years as a band, including a special deep cuts performance in the Forest on Friday.
Joining them are Creeper, Mannequin Pussy, The Menzingers, FEVER 333, Bayside, Hot Water Music, unpeople, Vower, Native James and plenty more.
The announcement also brings several special performances and reunions. Reuben will reunite for an exclusive appearance, while Lonely The Brave will return with original vocalist Dave Jakes. The Menzingers will celebrate ten years of their acclaimed album After The Party, while InMe will revisit 2007 with a special anniversary set.
Cheltenham post-hardcore favourites Crooks will also return for their first performance since 2016.
Another highlight will see The Revival Tour take over the Forest stage on Friday, curated by Hot Water Music’s Chuck Ragan and featuring Brian Fallon, Dave Hause, Alkaline Trio’s Dan Andriano and more.
Speaking about the milestone, festival organiser James Scarlett said:
“I’m very proud of where we are as we come into celebrating 20 years! It is still the original 6 friends that started 2000trees and we’re all still involved in some way, and that isn’t going to change.”
With more artists still to be announced, 2000trees 2027 is already shaping up to be a significant celebration of the festival’s independent roots.
