One of the most beloved weekends on the festival calendar, 2000trees returns this month with a line up stacked full of Upset faves.
The festival, which will take place in Cheltenham from 5th-8th July, will host sets from the likes of (Upset cover stars) The Xcerts, plus The Wonder Years, American Football, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Empire State Bastard, Joyce Manor, Prima Queen, Brutus, Kid Kapichi, Loathe, Martha, Sprints, Dream State and loads more.
We caught up with a few of our 2000trees up-and-coming faves to find out what they have planned. Next up,
Hannah Grae.
Hello Hannah! How's it going? What are you up to today?
Hey! Today I've been crocheting a sweater vest, and I'm about to make my own oat milk! Haha.
2000trees is a festival with its own strong sense of community - have you been before, either playing or as a fan?
I've never been! I'm so excited to experience the festival for the first time and also play my music! I'm really looking forward to it.
What was the first festival you went to as a fan? What was it like? Who did you see?
I was actually supposed to go to Reading Festival in 2020, but because of Covid, I couldn't go. I'm really looking forward to this year ahead and experiencing so many festivals for the first time.
What's your favourite thing about playing music festivals? How does it compare to a normal gig?
Festivals are my favourite. When I write my songs, I always picture playing them at festivals, outdoors, with a crowd that couldn't be happier to be there. It really is thrilling. Also, meeting so many new people and fans is so special and something that doesn't always happen at regular gigs.
