2000trees festival line-up announcement including Alexisonfire and Million Dead

Alexisonfire is the final headliner confirmed - (2000Trees)

2000trees will feature five headliners spread over three days in 2025, making it bigger than ever.

Thursday's main acts will be American pop rock band PVRIS and Irish rap trio Kneecap, while progressive post-hardcore band Coheed & Cambria and emo icons Taking Back Sunday will be Friday’s main act.

The final night’s bands include Canadian icons Alexisonfire.

It is confirmed that Million Dead will return as well. Cameron Dean and Julia Ruzicka founded the London post-hardcore group in 2000, completing it with Ben Dawson and Frank Turner. The band last played in 2005.

According to the festival's organisers, 2025 will be the best year yet for 2000trees, which has earned the title of best medium-sized festival in the UK three times.

James Scarlett, head booker of the festival, said: “This is quite literally the biggest 2000trees announcement we’ve ever done. We’re delighted to bring some huge classic bands in, that we’ve been after for years, for their long-awaited first ever Trees performances.

“We’re also honoured to usher in the likes of PVRIS and Kneecap for their first ever UK festival headline performances. Tickets are already flying out and to say it’s going to be a legendary year is an understatement. Miss 2000trees 2025 at your own peril.”

Here are the headliners for the festival and how to get tickets.
