2000TREES WELCOMES DON BROCO TO HEADLINING LINE UP |

FRANK TURNER, BOB VYLAN, WARGASM AND PALM READER ALSO ANNOUNCED

Another bumper 2000trees Festival announcement today, the final one for the 2024 event, with the 3rd and final main stage headliner, as well as a host of some of the finest acts, artists and bands playing across all of the events six+ stages.

Revealed as the 3rd main stage headliner for 2024 are British rock outfit Don Broco (their ONLY live show of 2024), who have had radio A-list singles, sold out arenas and most recently, a UK number 1 album with ‘Amazing Things’ in 2021. This will be the Bedford 4-pieces first ever appearance at 2000trees, and one that will for sure live long in the memory. The band say, “We are so excited to play 2000 Trees this year! So many of our friends sight it as their favourite festival, so getting to play it for the first time as a headliner feels very special. It’s our only UK show this year so we will be going all out! Also Reuben are our favourite band in the world so it will be like playing on hallowed ground for us. We can’t wait.”

Also announced today includes 2000trees royalty and all round legend, punk rock troubadour Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls who says, “A summer’s not a proper summer without a stop at 2000trees. It’s my festival home, I played the first year, they named a campsite after me, it’s where I belong. Stoked to be coming back through.”

Other artists in the mix include one of most exciting UK bands around (and also a fully-fledged 2000trees hero) Bob Vylan, one of the most talked about bands in the world right now Wargasm, the stunning Welsh indie band Los Campesinos! (who are playing their first outdoor festival since 2014 at 2000trees), and following on from their 2000trees debut last year, returning rock royalty in Empire State Bastard.

Bob Vylan comments “We’re looking forward to being back at 2000 Trees, one of the best UK festivals there is, for the third consecutive year. An unprecedented event in the 2000 trees history and we’re looking forward to being part of that history once again in an even bigger way this time around.”

On top of all that, also announced Vower (which is made up of members of Black Peaks, Palm Reader and Toska), the excellent punk rock Derry 3 piece Cherym, Norwegian via Australia 5 piece metal band Blood Command, stunning solo artists Lauran Hibberd and Katie Malco, UK emotional rock stalwarts Lonely The Brave, and the incredibly exciting genre pushing ekkstacy.

Also, with a tinge of sadness, this years festival will also see the magnificent Palm Reader perform for the last ever time. A special band whose last album ‘Sleepless’ will certainly go down as one of the most brilliant, expansive and mature of their career, and an album everyone and anyone with even a passing interest in heavy music needs to listen to.

Palm Reader shares “This year will mark the ending of our band of 13 years. We will be celebrating all the good times we’ve shared together by playing the best festival in the world – 2000 Trees. It is a an absolute privilege to play at Upcote Farm for the 8th time and we can’t think of a better send off than to commemorate the passing of such a large part of our lives at the place we love the most, surrounded by friends, trees and beside the ones we love.”
