Wow! We did it!!!!
The first ever 2000trees was a huge success and we would like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of the 1,500 people who came along and danced, sang, slept in the sun, sheltered from the rain and generally just drank too much cider!! We had a great time and by the sound of the feedback so did you!
If you want to relive the experience then please check out the photos and video we’ve posted above (you may even see yourself in there somewhere)! Special thanks go to the intrepid photographers who worked tirelessly around the site over the weekend. Amongst others they were: Laura Moseley, Jon Mackay, Jim Ropner, Holly Swain and last but not least our own Brendan Herbert.
We also can’t resist giving ourselves a pat on the back for being the cleanest festival site (so say our team of experienced scum-busters) the friendliest festival site (so say the security guys) and the safest festival (so say the first aid crew). Happy days!! Some would also say it was the largest consumption of cider at a festival EVER, but we won’t go there…!
On the main stage, acoustic stage and GreenHouse we featured over 50 bands from every genre you can think of. With top talent from the worlds of rock, indie, hip-hop, metal, pop, folk and dance (check out the line up listing below for full details of everyone who played last year). Rest assured that in 2008 the music will be bigger, better and more varied and because we are lovely people, we’ve taken on board the comments you’ve made about who and what you want to see. So watch this space…
Did we mention 2008?! Er…well yes, we did! We had so much fun last year that we’ve just got to do it again. So you’ll be pleased to hear that 2000trees will be back at the wonderful Upcote Farm in the Cotswolds on July 11th and 12th 2008. We just couldn’t resist the temptation of recreating the magical moments we experienced last year – do you remember the awe inspiring sunset (avec hot air balloon) on the Saturday night??!
Hopefully, it just goes to prove that it is possible to organise a blinding festival without being sponsored by some huge corporation and charging exorbitant prices for tickets and t-shirts…
So, we’ll look forward to seeing you in a field near Cheltenham for the 2008 reunion this July.
Roll on 2000trees 08!!
Thanks again
