Festival organiser James Scarlett said, "We are delighted to confirm Red Light Company, Blood Red Shoes and the many more acts who will be performing at this summer's 2000trees festival. We have enjoyed watching every one of them perform on stage, to ensure we give a platform to the best live bands and bring together an eclectic mix of musical talent."

They will perform alongside headliners British Sea Power, Fightstar, and Frank Turner and around around 60 acts at the event, which takes place on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July at Upcote Farm, Withington, Cheltenham, in Gloucestershire.

2000trees, now in its third year, is a family-friendly festival which hopes to raise awareness of green issues and aims to be an ethical alternative to the more mainstream music events. There is a wide selection of music at the festival including something for every taste - featuring rock, metal and indie to folk, pop, DJs, and the downright strange.

Tickets are priced at £47 with early entry passes for the Thursday before the festival priced at £7. There is a joint entry tickets for both 2000trees and the sister festival Y-Not in Derbyshire priced at £75. Campervan tickets are priced at £20, children (0 to 10 years old) have free entry to the site with a ticket.

The festival sold out last year and won the 'A Greener Festival Award' for raising awareness of green issues and demonstrating its commitment to sustainability by recycling 78 per cent of waste among a host of eco-friendly measures.
