2000trees punches way above its weight. The independent festival which began in 2006 has earned a ‘festival family’ of loyal attendees and staff. It has also won multiple small, medium, and grassroots festival awards.
The festival from July 6 to July 9, 2022, will host over 120 artists, including many heavy-hitters. For example, this year’s line-up includes Jimmy Eat World, Thrice, IDLES, and Laura Jane Grace! Here’s our guide to what you need to know about 2000trees Festival 2022, including the full line-up.
Location and transportation
The 15,000 capacity festival is set in the Cotswold Hills. It’s held at Upcote Farm, Withington, Cheltenham, Glos, GL54 4BL. Parking is £15 in advance and £20 on the day.
The festival also partners with Big Green Coach for services from and to Briston and London, and a shuttle bus service from and to Cheltenham Spa train station.

Interestingly, 2000trees operates over a different run of days than the norm. The substantive festival takes place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with the option of an early entry ticket for Wednesday too.
All 2020/21 tickets are valid for the 2000trees Festival 2022, unless a refund was requested during the cancellation period.
Several ticket options are available. Children are welcome, and under 13s tickets are free! Note that under 18s must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Logistics and accessibility
2000trees is a cashless festival. Instead, festivalgoers load up their wristband with credit. Any unspent money can be refunded after the festival for £1.
