2000trees Announce Frightened Rabbit As Final Headliner
Thursday, 24 April 2014
Written by Ben Bland
Having previously headlined in 2011, and having been the subject of great popular demand in the interim, the team behind 2000trees have confirmed Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit as the Saturday night headliners for this year’s Gloucestershire-based bash.
Also joining the Scots on the bill are rock duo Blood Red Shoes, American hardcore troupe Trash Talk, EMPIRE, Gorgeous George, Sam ‘Get Cape’ Duckworth (Solo), Little Matador, Delta Sleep, The St. Pierre Snake Invasion, Thrill Collins, Eugene Quell, The Common Tongues, Wild Cat Strike and I, the Lion.
Scott Hutchison, lead singer of Frightened Rabbit, said:
“We are so excited to be returning to 2000trees this year. It was such a memorable show for us last time, the crowd was in fine voice and it was clear that everyone was there for the music. We hope for more of the same this summer - it truly is one of the best small festivals in Britain.”
2000trees organiser Andy Rea said Frightened Rabbit are a hugely popular choice and tickets are selling fast.
“When we ask fans which acts they love, a great many names are suggested, which shows they know and love new and underground music as much as we do – and one of the most popular requests is always for Frightened Rabbit to return to 2000trees, so we’re delighted to make that happen.
“The last time they performed the crowd reaction was immense and since then they have gone on to bigger things, so to have them back at 2000trees is a bit of a coup and we can’t wait to see them perform live at Upcote Farm.”
The festival recently held a Rising Talent Student Showcase to give bands from the University of Gloucestershire a bigger platform to perform on. From that event, organisers selected rock act Atrevidoto perform at this summer’s 2000trees – the video of that performance is available here.
Also set to play at Upcote Farm this July are Band of Skulls (Friday Main Stage headliners), Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip (Thursday Early Entry headliners), Public Service Broadcasting, The Bronx, Jamie Lenman, Tall Ships and many, many more.
2000trees takes place at Upcote Farm near Cheltenham from July 10 to 12, 2014. For tickets and more information visit the festival website at twothousandtreesfestival.co.uk.
