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. First up, Joey from KOYO.

Hello Joey! How's it going? What are you up to today? All is well; at the time of writing this, we've been on tour with No Pressure, illusion and Fleshwater. Currently driving to Columbus; it's been an incredible tour.

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 prior, but I am excited for that very reason. For sure a festival we were very excited to be looped into from the jump. Can't wait to see what it's all about.

What was the first festival you went to as a fan? What was it like? Who did you see? This Is Hardcore 2014, right after I graduated high school. Converge, Turmoil, Cold World, E Town, Fury of Five, it was a fat year. The list goes on; so many bands I still love to this day. The vibe was electric; I'd never experienced anything like it prior while attending smaller local hardcore shows.
