2000 Trees 2024

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Interlaker is a good little addition. David Jakes (formerly of Lonely the Braves) new band with Jack Wrench (formerly of Arcane Roots)

[LazyDavid]

Undercard looks ok but The Chats is such a weak headliner, wow

[chazwwe]

Already finding some gems that I haven't been aware of, or rediscovering. My Thursday is pretty busy and all of these are on Friday, so my days are getting stacked. 

Turnover 
Crawlers 
As December Falls
Bears in Trees 
Mouth Culture

Pretty disappointing lineup all round for me this year. There's a good few bands I'll happily watch but not one I'm particularly excited about.

Outbreak seem to have nicked a lot of the names I was hoping for (e.g. Basement, Touche Amore, TWIABP, Nothing etc.)

[Ferd89]

Is there likely to be another release of 4 day tickets or do you think they've all gone?

[Rusty Spoon]

SLS have just added a second Trees warm-up show playing BFE in full for the Monday. Currently on waiting list pre-sale only. 

Suits me much more as I was unable to make the Tuesday show.

[NorthernSoul52]

Did not expect The Gaslight Anthem to look like the big one to be honest. The way the new record - an excellent one, for me, for what it's worth - basically choked and vanished without a trace has them firmly in the heritage bracket now, I guess.

[theramm]

Gaslight are bigger than the bulk of their recent headliners though. 

[Gummy de Milo]

Don't think they'll ever top the 2022 lineup. Jimmy Eat World, Turnstile, Idles and Thrice was just such a pull. Plus Knocked Loose demolishing the main stage... hoping they've got something big in store for the final headliner, love The Chats but does seem pretty small considering who they've had.

[Rusty Spoon]

I thought Neck Deep were nailed on but surely they can't be the third headliner whilst struggling to sell Ally Pally and playing twice at Reading the next month? Especially with The Chats already down as headliner. 

[bingobear]

more convinced than ever that the third headliner is Frank Turner.  I don't see anything more exciting now 

[Heartofzinc]

Still hoping for Turnstile as the final headliner 🤞🏻

Probably. I mean, at their peak around 2012, TGA were very impressive.

Then Get Hurt and internal dissatisfaction damned them. Live shows dropped off, then everything else with the hiatus.

Bit of a shame.

Since the hiatus they played Wembley?!?

And only shifted about 5,000 for it, by all accounts. (Please do correct me if wrong though!)

The point is that they looked like they had the world at their feet in 2012. A #2 record, double sell-outs at Brixton and third down at Download in 2013.

Then Get Hurt arrived in 2014 to a relatively muted response and corresponding shows that suddenly seemed more complacent and disjointed on stage. (Ah, I meant the quality of the live show, sorry! Again, can only speak from experience, but saw them twice on Get Hurt and they were merely average.)

The proper reunion run in 2022 felt much more alive. Saw the Manchester show on there - where they mostly ignored The '59 Sound, no less - and that was mad in how much better it was.

Sincerely hope they can build back up to both rousing prowess as a blockbuster live act with commercial heft. I just think that they may well be at their ceiling now.

Completely agree. If Neck Deep end up being the third headliner, announced in say 2 months. When Reading is already on sale, then it'd be a seriously bad choice.

As they are clearly taking a chance with the chats they definitely need a more obvious headliner for the final night

I think that was the final one, might see in the next announcement but I'm still expecting Boston Mannor at least to play again on the weekend, would be nice to get The Xcerts and Pet Needs too.

[Chaarlie]

Sleep Token playing the O2 in November, likely outgrown playing this some time ago I suppose. *arena not sure why it says the O2 on their tweet..

Dropkick Murphys is my guess

That'd be a nice get.

Tickets for the Wembley Arena show were being given away on seat-filler websites in the end (after initially being reduced to a buy-one-get-one-free offer) 

[NorthernSoul52]

Do love TGA, and with three Roundhouse shows, they're over the 5,000-capacity threshold for London, which is nice to see again.

But reckon it'll need something of a revival for them to justify headlining venues in the Wembley Arena / Alexandra Palace bracket again.

Anyway, against the caveat they've given that they won't overdose on History Books, here's my dream.

1 Great Expectations
2 History Books
3 Handwritten
4 Wooderson
5 Positive Charge
6 The Spirit of Jazz
7 Stray Paper
8 Michigan, 1975
9 Get Hurt
10 Film Noir
11 Little Fires
12 Too Much Blood
13 American Slang
14 Empires
15 Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts
16 "45"
17 I Live in the Room Above Her
18 Senor and the Queen
19 We're Getting a Divorce, You Keep the Diner
20 The '59 Sound

Frank Turner is back in the UK the weekend before Trees so it’s possible. It’s a solo set however so maybe he won’t headline.

also straight off the back of the first leg of the full band tour so either option is possible  there have been plenty of occasions where he's played full band and solo shows the same weekends
