Festival News: 2000trees confirms Neck Deep as Saturday headliners

2000trees confirms Neck Deep as Saturday headliners, along with more exciting additions.

It’s March already — finally moving into Spring! Well, it’ll be Summer before you know it, and the organisers over at 2000trees know that better than most. Hence, one final big announcement. Joining Alkaline Trio and Funeral For A Friend as your 2000trees ‘26 headliners, come Welsh pop-punk favourites Neck Deep — ten years since they last played the festival. 

Joining them on the final day are the likes of Mouth Culture, The Xcerts, Bodyweb, High Regard and Thorns, alongside the already announced Marmozets, Glassjaw, High Vis, Dinosaur Pile-Up and more. 

Friday gets an equally exciting boost, with legendary emo pioneers Sunny Day Real Estate added in the special sub-headline slot ahead of Friday headliners Funeral For A Friend. They’ll be joined by ALT BLK ERA, Cosmic Psychos, Beauty School, Higher Power, OVERGROWN and SUDS, rounding out a day that already features Arcane Roots, Lambrini Girls, Cancer Bats, Militarie Gun and plenty more.

Thursday’s opener also sees a final run of additions, with The Skinner Brothers, Saint Agnes, Bleech 9:3, Delilah Bon, Silo, Long Goodbye, J’cuuzi and Hyro The Hero all joining the party. They slot into a lineup that already includes Alkaline Trio, The Bronx (and their alter-egos Mariachi El Bronx), Superheaven, Pup, Bad Nerves and more.

That’s not even mentioning the untouched, sublime Wednesday night opener headlined by Pup!

If you haven’t checked the full poster yet, now’s the time… and if history is anything to go by, tickets won’t hang around for long. In fact, organisers have said that 2000trees 2027 is ‘officially the fastest ever selling edition of 2000trees in 17 years’ — so, if anything, can you even risk the time it takes to finish this article?

See you in Cheltenham.
