2000 Trees Festival 2018 (July 12th - 14th) Tour

First announcement took place Sunday night. Anyone planning on going and what do you think of the line-up at this early stage?

 

I've already got a ticket as I bought it early at last years price, proper love 2000 Trees, I think this is my 4th or 5th time doing it now. I'm happy with the lineup so far considering it's (from what I gather) the Thursday bands (or at least the Thursday headliner, plus other bands). Hell yes to Touche Amore and Creeper being on it.

Looking forward to Wednesdays announcement, I'm hoping for Enter Shikari as another headliner and would be super stoked if Gaslight Anthem somehow end up being the other one (although I'm not holding my breathe for that).

TBH though I just love this festival so much that I don't really care what the line up is. They always manage to find the perfect balance between heritage acts and up and coming artists that I'm sure they'll be plenty of stuff I'll want to see.

 

I went last year and I'm going again this year. Stoked for Creeper, Hell Is For Heroes, Basement and Touche Amore. Proper solid line up for me so far.

 

Yeah it's pretty good so far, I'd happily watch each of those bands if they don't clash with anyone I'd rather see once the full lineup comes out. Have you seen Hell is for Heroes before? I saw them play The Neon Handshake when they supported Hundred Reasons a few years back they're so great live, it's good to see them back gigging again.

 

Never seen them but I love the first album!

 

A bit mediocre after the first announcement tbh

 

Enter Shikari are great live but I don't like the new album. Boston Manor are fantastic and will continue to be so, and Black Foxxes are also great. Everything else I don't know about, although I've heard good things about Holding Absence.

 

Yeah I'm stoked for Enter Shikari as I've been wanting to see them again for a while now (I last saw them on the Flash Flood tour) and you know they'll bring a great live show. The rest of those bands I don't really care about too much or don't know. Still there's still loads of bands to be announce for this including another headliner so can't complain too much.

 

Whilst I don't really care for Enter Shikari any more they're the sort of band I'd see at a festival still if they didn't clash with a band that I like more. Boston Manor is cool. Also surprised but pleased to see Conjurer on here.

I just think the first announcement was a lot better

Overall thoughts?

The Thursday is stacked for me!

I was really hoping for Gaslight being the third headliner, but I guess Twin Atlantic are pretty fun and I'll probably try and catch Creeper if they're on at the same time in The Cave anyway.

 

Very cool to see Creeper so high up
