2000trees Festival 2026 Adds 35 New Names

The latest wave of bands for this year’s 2000trees Festival has been revealed. It sees Funeral For A Friend being announced as Friday night’s main stage headliner. Today’s announcement also sees Marmozets, Militarie Gun and The Bronx make their return to Upcote Farm. The latter’s alter ego,  Mariachi El Bronx, is also among today’s additions.

Some of the other noteworthy names set to head to Cheltenham this July include The Scratch, As Everything Unfolds, Petrol Girls, A, Anthony Green, Vinnie Caruana, and Greywind.

For Welsh emo rockers, Funeral For A Friend, it marks their first time back at 2000trees in 13 years. “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,” shares FFAF‘s Ryan Richards. “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.”

2000trees Festival organiser and booker, James Scarlett commented on today’s addition, highlighting the Friday night headliners, and the return of several 2000trees favourites. “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!”
