A number of new names have been added to the 2000Trees line-up for 2025, including Sprints, Big Special and more. Find out the details below.
The live event is set to return to Upcote Farm, near Cheltenham, between Wednesday July 9 and Saturday July 12.
The new announcement comes following the first wave of artists being confirmed back in October, when organisers, for the first time in the festival’s history, announced all of the headliners simultaneously. These included Kneecap, PVRIS, Taking Back Sunday, Coheed And Cambria, Alexisonfire, Million Dead, Kid Kapichi, Bambie Thug, Gel, RØRY and more.
Now, 45 new names have been added to the bill, including Scottish duo VUKOVI and Irish garage punk band Sprints – each of which are firm festival favourites and are making their way up the bill for 2025.
“It’s been two years since we last played 2000trees, and to play a prime spot on the main stage feels so right to us,” said Janine of VUKOVI. “Best festival, sound people and passionate fans.”
Birmingham punk duo Big Special have been announced for the 2025 instalment too, as have Welsh post-hardcore band Future Of The Left, UK dance-punk group SNAYX, indie quintet Panic Shack, and metal-pop band Blood Command.
Other new names joining the 2025 line-up include rising UK acts Vower, Meryl Streek and Unpeople.
“We’re confident our penultimate announcement cements 2000trees 2025 as THE rock festival to be at this summer,” said 2000Trees head booker James Scarlett. “This is one of the few places you can see not only some of the most exciting names and absolute legends of the scene, but also an undercard rammed with ‘your new favourite bands’.”
“Artists like Vukovi have been woven into the history of 2000trees for over eight years now so it’s amazing to see them stepping up to one of the biggest slots on the Main Stage, alongside bands like Sprints who you could find on our smallest stage only two years ago, now headlining our second stage.”

The Gaslight Anthem were announced as the first headliners, and other artists included Manchester Orchestra, Kids In Glass Houses, The Chats, Nova Twins, Hot Milk, Death From Above 1979, Spanish Love Songs, and Cassyette.

Sharon Osbourne has shared the one reason she chose not to “go with Ozzy” after his death.
The TV personality explained that her devotion to her children, Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40, gave her the strength to keep going following Ozzy’s passing on 22 July this year.
“I would have gone with Ozzy in a heartbeat. Absolutely. I’ve done everything I ever wanted to do,” she told Piers Morgan during an appearance on his YouTube programme Uncensored.
“But my kids have been, honestly, beyond incredible. All three of them have been absolutely amazing with me.”
When Piers asked whether her children and grandchildren were the reason she decided to stay, Sharon reflected, “Years ago, during one of my breakdowns, I checked myself into a small place to work on my mental health. There were two young women there who didn’t know each other, but both of their mothers had taken their own lives. Seeing the condition they were in and the damage it had caused stayed with me, and I promised myself I would never, ever put my children through that.”
She went on to say, “Grief has sort of become a companion to me now. It sounds strange, but when you love someone that deeply and you lose them, that pain becomes part of your life. It’s something I have to carry, and eventually I’ll learn to live with it. I have to. Life keeps moving forward.”
Ozzy was laid to rest on the grounds of the family home beneath a crabapple tree, and Sharon shared that she visits his resting place every day to speak to him.
“Everyone goes down there and talks to him,” she said. “I light candles all over the house and keep them going constantly. There are always candles by his photos and throughout the home.”
She added, “It’s a pain you wake up with every morning and it never really goes away. It feels like there’s a huge empty space inside you. The kids feel it too. And you just ask yourself what you can do. It’s something every one of us faces eventually.”
