The announcement was made via video interview between Frank and 'Trees organiser James Scarlett, here:



James said, "Frank headlined the first ever 2000trees in 2007 so it feels a bit like he's coming home. To celebrate we asked him to suggest a few acts that he is a fan of and would go down well at Trees - it gives an amazing new dimension to our line-up!"

Frank Turner added, "I'm very excited about coming back to 2000trees. It was very early days for me when I played the first ever festival in 2007, I remember it was a really exciting, cool, new festival to do and to be involved in, it was a good time.

"I'm bringing with me some of my closest, favourite musicians in the world. I'm going to be there for the whole festival and I'm just really looking forward to being part of 2000trees again, it's a beautiful festival."
