Live Review: Two Thousand Trees Festival 2011

It’s quite evident that no one needs informing of just how great the UK music scene is right now, solely because of the sheer amount of great bands, all spanning an overabundance of genres, giving you no need to look outside of our quaint British Isles. Admittedly this is a bold statement to make, however Two Thousand Trees was proof that, unlike many other festivals across the UK you can put together one of the best line-ups you’ll see this year with your very own crop.

Feature: Festival Preview - 2000 Trees Festival

After an amazing year in 2010, culminating with a Grass Roots Festival Award win at the UK Festival Awards, Two Thousand Trees is back with another stellar line-up of more than 80 acts. Its fifth year at Upcote Farm in Cheltenham sees yet another expansion in capacity with it now holding 4,500 festival goers, which will welcome in the edition of a new stage this year aptly named The Cave, bringing with it the heavier side of things. In true Trees fashion the line-up this year brings an array of different acts spanning more genres than you could shake a stick at, with just one important factor tying them all together, every single act hails from the UK, making this festival a showcase of some of the finest talent we have to offer. Fans will be making their way over to the farm this weekend from 14th to the 16th to witness one of its strongest line-ups to date.

Live Review: Two Thousand Trees Festival - 16-17 July 2010

Two Thousand Trees isn’t exactly the festival on the tips of everyone’s tongues, to mention you’re attending would usually lead to questions of what and where The answer to that if your still wondering, is a farm six miles outside of Cheltenham where 2500 music lovers travel to camp for two days of alternative music. The festival is in its fourth year and this outing boasted easily its best line-up so far, with some of the best up and coming bands the UK has to offer.

Friday

With many people arriving on the Friday morning, once through the gates it was a mad rush to get unpacked, put your tent up and with a cider in hand make your way down to the mainstage where Crazy Arm (4/5) were second on. The set was high in energy and luckily pulled quite a large crowd who had managed to erect their tents just in time to make it down for a band that are creating quite a name for themselves, and there’s no doubt that their set clawed in a few more.
