More about 2000trees and its history
2000trees was founded in 2007 as an alternative to large scale festivals, and it strives to stick to that goal by capping the audience at 15,000 max. Speaking about the festival in an exclusive interview with Metro UK on June 21, 2017, James Scarlett elaborated on why he founded the festival, stating:
"We started 2000trees back in 2007 as an antidote to the massive mainstream festivals that only seemed to care about how much profit they were making. We wanted to create a UK rock festival that focused on quality in all areas, including the line up, food & drink and most importantly the toilets – haha!"
The festival has featured artists such as Twin Atlantic, Deaf Havana, and Frank Turner in the past and has, over the years. attained a reputation for being a stepping stone to bigger successes for musical acts.
