2000 Trees Festival 2015

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Tax the Heat and Kiran Leonard too. Just waiting til those 8 go up on the site and ill put up the stage splits.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Right, update on the stage splits, a few of the positions may be off but I'm going on the poster order (other than the couple we know are higher on the poster than bands they're playing below). This doesn't have those just announced but I think Honey Blood and Roam will go main stage between The Xcerts and Tim Vantol, then the rest just fill up the Axiom most likely. I'll edit them in when they get spots.

Errors, Skinny Lister, Boy Jumps Ship & Ohboy!, ROAM and Honeyblood if you didn't know already (email went out Lumz so I haven't done anything wrong )

Pleased about ROAM and Honeyblood

No worries, just didn't want to be the one that posted them before the announcement haha

Really pleased with Roam!

[justanothername]

Does anyone know what would be the best time to get a train on the Sunday for volunteers as I need to book train tickets soon whilst they're cheap

New poster with day splits and a few bands have moved days (like ASIWYFA)

[jonnyisRFC]

Just over a week away! Just got back from Glastonbury and I expect this is going to be very different! Anyone got anymore tips and tricks for a newbie going alone? Thanks!

[justanothername]

Clash finer is up. Got no times but it still gives a good idea about what to expect

[justanothername]

There appears to be a 5 minute overlap between Defeater and ASIWYFA with a bit of a shame as they are the two bands I want to see the most and ASISYFA clash with ROAM

[pryce]

damn why am I not going

 

Vennart into ASIWYFA into We Were Promised Jetpacks into Twilight Sad

 

perfect for me

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Only clash for me is Fatherson and Young Guns acoustic. Really excited for this, always a nice cleanse after being surrounded by bell ends at Wireless.

[Lumz]

This has worked out really well for me, I have 9 must see bands and none of them clash! (Well, barely...)

 

Friday: Creeper, Dead Harts, Feed The Rhino, Young Guns & Deaf Havana

Saturday: Defeater, Roam, Bury Tomorrow & Alkaline Trio

 

Out of interest, how close is each stage? A few acts finish as another starts so wondering how long it takes walking to each stage, so how much I'll potentially miss!

no more than 5 minutes

 

the smaller stage with the acoustic bands is probably a further 10 odd minutes

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

You can walk from one side of the site to the other including the campsite in less than 10 mins so you'll have no problem.

[justanothername]

I'm a volunteer an I'm going down on the Wednesday by train but I still have to make it the site it self when I get to Cheltenham. In the email sent out to volunteers it mentioned a car share program but I haven't been able to find anything on it. Does anyone know anything about it?

[Merlynov]

Anyone after a spare weekend ticket? I thought I could afford it but I can't due to a selfish friend having a stag do the week after and having new brakes on my truck too.

Gutted as the line up is mint with Vennart, Idlewild, Kiran Leonard and FOTL thr ones I'm especially annoyed about.

[jonnyisRFC]

Is anyone planning on getting the train? Looks like it could be a pain in the arse. https://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/about-us/media-centre/2015/july/rmt-railstrike-update

[justanothername]

Had a little panic there but thank god I'm going down on the Wednesday instead.

[SOAD]

Heya sorry guys I've never done Two Thousand Trees before. Just a couple of questions:

1. Can you take gas canisters/gas camping stoves? Assuming not and that it is just disposable bbqs but checking for a mate.

 

2. Is it similar to Arctangent in that you can take your own alcohol around the whole festival with you?

 

3. Looking at videos it seems pretty easy to get in the crowd for main stage before an act starts (in fact before blood red shoes looks incredibly sparse till couple songs in) but is it difficult to get into the tent stages? I found Arctangent proved hard at points.

Many Thanks

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yes you can

Yes

It's not overly hard,only Lenman packed it last year from what I saw.

[rawaudioinput]

I was at the front for Jamie Lenman and there was tons of space so there shouldn't be much worry about getting in to the tents

I remember Three Trapped Tigers was pretty fully but they were headlining one of the smaller tents and even then my friends and I still managed to watch the set on the barrier a fair bit to the left

[Flaminglippy]

Brilliant weekend. Top little festival this. Music-wise 'Allusondrugs' and 'Emperor Yes' were surprise highlights. 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The Xcerts were my weekend highlight, brilliant both times. Alkaline Trio were a bit average, might as well have kept the power off.

[jonnyisRFC]

Cracking little festival! Alkaline Trio, The Skints, Milk teeth and Great Cynics were stand out acts for me. I'll hopefully return next year.

Edited July 12, 2015 by jonnyisRFC

[Lumz]

I enjoyed alkaline Trio, but it did feel like they just wanted to get through the set and leave.

 

Bury Tomorrow were definitely the stand outs for me, the biggest crowd interaction that I saw in the Cave all weekend and getting on stage with them and tonnes of other people was mental!

 

Really impressed with the festival as a whole though, definitely going to be back next year.

[justanothername]

I really enjoyed it! Great little festival and had a great time. Highlights for me have to be ASIWYFA, Arcane Roots, We Are The Ocean and Defeater. Managed to get my shifts to work around a lot of the acts I wanted to see and for two of my shifts I was positioned at stages anyway and the third there was no music on anyway
