Both festivals were made to cancel their events this year due to the enforced COVID-19 restrictions, with the former saying they were “left with no other choice than to pull the plug before it was too late”. Now, the festivals have come together for a new event dubbed 80 Trees, set to take place across two days at the Exchange venue in Bristol on July 31 and August 1.

In an announcement, they wrote “We’ll be running the first ever 2000trees vs ArcTanGent live event in Bristol! 80-Trees…” and continued “That’s right two days and nights of ACTUAL. LIVE. GIGS showcasing some of the best bands from Trees and ATG past, present and future.” 

The statement also added: “As you know we’re all super gutted that both ATG and our sister festival, 2000trees, can’t go ahead this summer. Last year we couldn’t all meet face to face so we put on our very first virtual festival – three days of awesome music recorded in lockdown by some of our favourite bands… But can watching bands on your laptop or phone really keep you going for another summer??? Na us neither!”

All the details for the festival were uploaded to their social media sites, with the line-up set to be announced next week with tickets on sale now here.

2000trees and ArcTanGent are among a growing number of UK festivals that have been cancelled this year due to the ongoing concerns caused by the pandemic. A recent survey has revealed that at least half of UK festivals have now been cancelled this year. Despite this, there are still some events set to go ahead, in July fans will be flocking to Latitude and Tramlines, with both of these events taking part in the next stage of the government’s Events Research Programme (ERP).

The ERP has seen audiences attend a weekend of events in Liverpool, the BRIT Awards and Download Festival to investigate the safety of large crowds returning to events after the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, Green Man Festival announced that it will go ahead with its 2021 event, taking place in the Black Mountains in Wales in late August.

The 2000Trees festival was established in 2007 by six friends with shared passion for music. The Upcote Farm in Chelthenham, Gloustershire quickly became the picturesque and iconic independant festival, boosting a worldwide reputation as an open and friendly event with more than hundred bands performing across five stages, comedy shows, food markets and themed bars. It has already won the Gras Roots Festival Award on three separate cases in 2010, 2013 and 2017 and has recently been nominated for the Best UK Festival on this year’s Heavy Music Awards.

Last year, thousands of people went to Glousteshire to witness memorable headline slots by Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls, You Me At Six and Deaf Havana alongside While She Sleeps, Everytime I Die, Frank Iero and many more for “the summer’s biggest rock party” and if next year’s first line-up announcement is any indication, fans can expect to be treated to more of the same.
