2000 Trees Festival

We regret to confirm that Reuben has pulled out of all touring and recording commitments until further notice, which includes the 2000trees festival. To see the full anouncement go to Reuben’s website at www.wordsfromreuben.com/2007/news.php

We realise that many of you were particularly looking forward to seeing Reuben headline 2000trees, as were we.

Our priority at this time is to provide Reuben and 2000trees fans with a suitable replacement act to headline the festival, so please bear with us while we work on this.

This is your festival, so if you have any suggestions for who you would like to see step into Reuben’s shoes, get onto our forum pages at www.twothousandtreesfestival.co.uk and let us know.

Finally, we would also like to send our best wishes to Jamie and all of the band, and look forward to welcoming them back to 2000trees when they’ve overcome their present difficulties.

Hey hey!

Summer is here at last, so we thought we’d give you 4 reasons to get yourself along to 2000trees that little bit earlier this year.

1. FRANK TURNER TO OPEN 2000TREES ON FRIDAY.
2. FANCY DRESS FRIDAY.
3. THURSDAY OPEN MIC NIGHT.
4. THE LEGENDARY BADGERS BOTTOM CIDER IS BACK. WOOP!

FRANK TURNER TO OPEN 2000TREES ON FRIDAY!

Yes that right folks, you heard it here first! As well as his full band set as part of Saturdays main stage line up, you’ll get an intimate, midday acoustic set from the man himself in the Leaf Lounge. Happy Days!!

FANCY DRESS FRIDAY!

The theme for this years Fancy Dress Friday will be “Countries of the World”. So get your thinking caps on because the winner will be hauled onto the main stage to collect a very special mystery prize! Personally, we can’t agree on whether or not coming dressed as Kazakhstan gives us the right to walk around dressed in a Borat approved lime green “mankini”. Maybe next year…

THURSDAY OPEN MIC NIGHT!

Get yourself a 2000trees Early Entry Permit and not only will you have access to the beautiful Upcote Farm a whole day early, but by entering our open mic competition you can win yourself a slot on the festival bill the very next day!

BADGERS BOTTOM CIDER IS BACK!

Be the first to sample the return of the genius that is Badgers Bottom cider! But be careful, there is a fine line between genius and madness!!
If you are wondering what we are blathering on about then you really don’t know what you’re missing!

SITE OPENING TIMES!

The site will be open to Early Entry Permit holders from 4pm on Thursday 10th July. We’ve also extended our opening hours for general admission tickets, so feel free to arrive from 9.30am onwards on the Friday, cause the Bands and DJ’s will be hitting all 3 stages from midday!

If you haven’t got your ticket yet, then click here.

Hope you’re all as excited as we are!

Thanks for listening! Feel free to forward this to anyone who may be interested.

Besticles!

Greetings all!

Well the sun has been out today and all of us here at 2000 trees are getting well excited about the return of long summer days, BBQs, cold beers and of course festivals…yay! Just wanted to let you know about a couple of things…

FINAL LINE UP CONFIRMED!

Following the addition of These New Puritans, Slaves to Gravity and Brakes front-man Eamon Hamilton, the 2000trees line up is now complete. Click here for full details. Also, a huge thank you goes out to the hundreds of you who sent in your demos; please don’t send in anymore now until next year cause we’d like to have a little rest if you don’t mind!

2000TREES COMING TO LONDON AND BRISTOL!

London will shortly be getting a dose of the more chilled-out end of the 2000trees spectrum when we hit the ElectroAcoustic Club in Clerkenwell with the following nights:
- Thursday May 1st: The Blisters, The Master Chaynjis, Josh Bray +1 TBC
- Tuesday May 20th: Beans on Toast, Peanut Albinos, Kat Flint +1 TBC

Tickets are £5 in advance / £6 on the door. Rest assured that all the bands featured have the 2000trees seal of approval (i.e. they are ace!) and will be playing in the rather lovely Leaf Lounge at 2000trees this July. For more information, just check out www.electroacousticclub.com.

On another note, we’ll also be at the Bristol County Sports Club on Saturday May 17th for a night of 2000trees bands headlined by The Master Chaynjis and also featuring Ashowka and Oxygen Thief.

Come on you Londoners and Bristolians….come and say hi!

RECORD TICKET SALES!

Finally, we just wanted to remind you that tickets are flying out the door and it’s looking like they’ll be sold out from the website within the next month! There are also less than 100 Early Entry Passes left. So if you intend on getting a ticket, don’t delay and visit out tickets page now.

And for those lucky people that have already bought tickets, they will be winging their way to you in June…..so please be patient!

Thanks for listening! Feel free to forward this email to any of your mates who may be interested.

Cheers
