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.

Playboi Carti finally delivered on his promise to drop his anxiously awaited new album this morning. As reactions to MUSIC continue to roll in, Kanye West took to X to share his thoughts, making it clear that he's a big fan of it so far. It looks like he's not impressed by every element of the project, however. He took issue with Kendrick Lamar's contributions in particular.
The Compton rapper is featured on three songs, but according to Ye, he would've preferred if he wasn't on the album at all. "I DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMARS MUSIC," he revealed. "HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM." Unsurprisingly, his remarks have earned mixed reactions from social media users. Recently, president of Top Dawg Entertainment Terrence "Punch" Henderson even hopped on X with a response. "Aye… What’s up with this Kanye West n***a??" he asked simply.
This is far from the first time Ye has raised eyebrows in recent weeks. In February, he went on a wildly offensive rant on X. He praised Adolf Hitler, called for Diddy to be released from prison, dissed the late Virgil Abloh, and much more. The Yeezy founder also made various comments about both Kendrick and Drake last month, which left social media users somewhat confused. At first, he praised the "Not Like Us" performer for his Super Bowl Halftime Show and for defeating Drake in their viral lyrical battle. “He took down my nemesis for me," he declared.
Just a few days later, he praised Drake's album with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. "Gimme a hug is incredible," he said. "Sheeeeeeesh." Earlier this month, he even said he wants Drizzy to speak at his funeral. As for who else is featured on Playboi Carti's new album, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Future, Young Thug, and many more make appearances.
