Festival organizer and talent buyer James Scarlett expressed the excitement coupled with the news. "We’re beyond stoked to kick off 2000trees Festival 2026 with one of the strongest first announcement line-ups we’ve ever released - not to mention our biggest Wednesday line-up to date. We have a long requested returning headliner in the shape of Alkaline Trio, some returning 2000trees much loved acts like Dinosaur Pile Up, High Vis, PUP, Lambrini Girls, Cancer Bats and The Dirty Nil. As well as some first time Trees future heroes in the making like Pinkshift, Nothing, Banks Arcade, Scowl and House of Protection.
A word of warning from me - there’s only a handful of 4-Day tickets left - so if you want to join us for the best early-entry day of any UK rock festival, get in quick. You’ve been warned!"
