2000trees Festival has revealed new headliners and exclusive performances for 2026

The festival will feature UK exclusives from The Bronx and Mariachi El Bronx.

2000trees Festival has unveiled a new wave of performers for its 2026 edition, including the announcement of the second main stage headliner, Funeral For A Friend.

This exclusive show will mark the band's return to the festival for the first time in over 13 years, coinciding with their 25th anniversary year.

Ryan Richards of Funeral For A Friend commented, "Headlining 2000trees feels incredibly special for us. 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."

James Scarlett, festival organiser and booker, added: "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. 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!"

The festival, set to take place between 8th and 11th July 2026 at Upcote Farm near Cheltenham, will also feature UK festival exclusives from The Bronx and Mariachi El Bronx, as well as performances from Marmozets and Arcane Roots. Additional acts include Militarie Gun, The Scratch, As Everything Unfolds, Petrol Girls, Anthony Green, The Skints, andDead Pioneers.
