As announced on the stage at Wembley Arena last night, returning festival hero Frank Turner will be the 2019 Thursday main stage headliner at 2000trees Festival.

Frank Turner said: “I’ve been playing the wonderful 2000trees Festival since its inaugural year in 2007, and more than most places in the world it feels like home to me. I’m excited about coming back again in 2019 to headline, my 5th year there. See you in the fields.”

Joining Frank Turner will be a HOST of his old Xtra Mile pals, with the label taking over The Axiom Stage on the Friday, including headliners Möngöl Hörde, Skinny Lister, Jim Lockey & The Solumn Sun, Crazy Arm (playing ‘Born To Ruin’ in full), Sean McGowan and more.

Two more artists are announced for the Forest Stage which are Johnny Lloyd and Grace Petrie (who has also been on the Frank Turner tour as support).

  • Rolo Tomassi
  • The St Pierre Snake Invasion (who added to the announcement with this exceptional video – HERE)
  • Petrol Girls
  • WSTR
  • LIFE

Rolo Tomassi said: “It’s a pleasure to return to play 2000trees. The festival continues to go from strength to strength in terms of the calibre of artists it attracts and it’s an honour to be included among them.”

Already announced last month for the event include Friday main stage headliners You Me At Six, the incredible Every Time I Die, who are performing at 2000trees Festival for the first time, AND will be performing ‘Hot Damn’ in full (along with some other bangers) as headliners on The Cave stage on Saturday.

As well as Sheffield’s While She Sleeps (Cave Stage headliners on Thursday), returning festival hero Jamie Lenman (who will be curating, opening and closing his very own stage and mini festival, Lenmania 2, on the Axiom Stage on the Thursday – being the first act to be performing at this years event, on the Thursday early afternoon), the hugely anticipated first timer Frank Iero with his band Frank Iero And The Future Violents (headlining the Axiom Stage on the Saturday) and many more.

2000trees Festival organiser and main man James Scarlett said: “Frank Turner headlined the first ever 2000trees in 2007 so it’s amazing to have him headline our main stage this year (as well as playing with Möngöl Hörde the following day).

“Frank and the Sleeping Souls have kind of become our house band over the years and long may that continue. I really feel that this is shaping up to be the best 2000trees yet!”
