THE 2000trees Festival has announced its headliners, so get ready to rock.

Festival organiser James Scarlett says: “Right now the UK rock scene is in ridiculously strong health and we’re very happy to be giving these bands a chance to co-headline a UK festival bill. Slaves will close the festival main stage on the Saturday night, with co-headliners Lower Than Atlantis on just before them.

"On the Friday we’ve got headliners Nothing But Thieves following Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes and let’s not forget Mallory Knox on our Thursday early entry night. It truly feels like 2000trees this year is going to be the best one yet. Roll on July.”

Lower Than Atlantic front man, Mike Duce said: "We are really excited to return to 2000trees this summer. It will be our first UK festival since our new record came out so it'll be great to play a lot more of those songs whilst everyone's getting drunk in a field. Lots of our mates are playing too so it'll be a good time in a beautiful part of the country."

Tom May of The Menzingers said: "What an incredible line up! I can't wait to get drunk in a forest with so many friends old and new."

The festival takes place from July 6 to July 8, at Upcote Farm, near Cheltenham.
