The 2000trees Festival is an independent music festival held each July at Upcote Farm near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Founded in 2007 by a group of friends, it showcases the best of UK underground, alternative, and rock music across intimate stages. Known for its friendly, community-driven atmosphere, affordable pricing, and sustainability ethos, the festival limits capacity to preserve a close-knit feel while delivering lineups that blend emerging acts with established favourites. Beyond the music, attendees value its scenic Cotswold setting, excellent sound, and thoughtful site layout.

Programming usually starts with a quieter Thursday and builds into a full Friday and Saturday schedule, with acoustic sessions, secret sets, and late-night offerings complementing the main bill. 2000trees has earned multiple awards and a loyal following for championing new talent and maintaining independent values, forgoing corporate branding in favour of curated experiences such as forest sessions, craft food and drink, and environmentally conscious operations. It is widely regarded as a highlight of the UK’s alternative festival calendar, offering a welcoming environment for fans of rock, punk, emo, post-hardcore, and adjacent genres.
