The Story of 2000 Trees Festival

Last weekend, some of Britain and the world’s best up-and-coming acts descended upon Gloucestershire’s Upcote Farm for a mammoth edition of the renowned 2000 Trees festival. Boasting a line-up filled with everything from established big-hitters (Nothing But ThievesSlaves and The Front Bottoms) through to stars of the future (Black Peaks, ROAM and Milk Teeth), the festival may well have one of the UK’s best line-ups this year. We sent Jade Hill down to check the whole thing out, condensed into three days of coverage below.
