January 11, 2010 > Featured

Organisers of a leading Gloucestershire music festival have set the date for their next event.

The 2000trees festival will take place on July 16 and 17 next year, with an extra day of music, fun and camping on July 15 for the first 500 fans to purchase early entry passes.

Up to 4,000 people are expected to attend the event at Withington, near Cheltenham, which brings together more than 50 musical acts on three stages, with something for all ages and musical tastes.

The headline acts will be announced next spring, but previous bill-toppers have included British Sea Power, Fightstar, Frank Turner and Art Brut.

Organiser James Scarlett said he was looking forward to the festival’s fourth birthday and promised a few surprises.

“It’s all about affordable fun in a field with great bands to inspire people. We are really looking forward to it, and we wanted to offer our supporters the chance to buy a Christmas gift that will bring amazing memories next July,” James told us.

“We’ve been delighted to see the festival grow more popular each year, but we’re not resting on our laurels, we’re determined to build on that and bring together even more fun for 2010.

“We were the UK’s first festival to host an outdoor silent headphone disco which was a fantastic success and hilarious to watch and take part in, so we’re looking at some equally interesting things to help raise a smile.”
