In addition to these headliners, the festival has unveiled over 45 new acts, including Scottish duo VUKOVI, Birmingham’s punk duo Big Special, and Irish garage punk band Sprints. Other notable additions are Welsh post-hardcore veterans Future of The Left, dance-punk ensemble SNAYX, and metal-pop favourites Blood Command.

Kneecap is an Irish hip-hop group known for their politically charged lyrics, bilingual rapping (in Irish and English), and rebellious energy. Formed in Belfast, they have gained widespread attention for their provocative themes, often tackling issues like Irish identity, nationalism, and class struggles. One of Kneecap’s most well-known tracks is ‘C.E.A.R.T.A.’, which means ‘Rights’ in Irish. This song gained popularity due to its high-energy beat, politically charged lyrics, and bilingual delivery.PVRIS is known for their dark, atmospheric production, haunting vocals, and emotional lyrics. Their sound has transitioned from a heavier rock base to a more electronic-driven, synth-infused style, often drawing comparisons to bands like CHVRCHES, Paramore, and Halsey. For PVRIS, their breakthrough hit ‘My House’ remains their most iconic track. The song’s eerie and introspective themes about isolation and personal demons made it a fan favourite, cementing PVRIS as a rising force in the alternative rock world.Taking Back Sunday is an American rock/post-hardcore/emo band from Long Island, New York, formed in 1999. They are considered one of the defining bands of the early-2000s emo and alternative rock scene, known for their raw emotional lyrics, dynamic vocal exchanges, and anthemic choruses.Their biggest hit is undoubtedly ‘MakeDamnSure’. The song features passionate, almost desperate lyrics about obsession and destructive love, making it relatable for many fans.
The 2000trees Festival specializes in rock, punk, emo, post-hardcore, and alternative music, with a strong focus on underground, emerging, and independent artists. It’s known for showcasing the best of the UK’s alternative music scene alongside well-established international acts. The 2000trees Festival gets its name from its founders’ commitment to environmental sustainability. When the festival was launched in 2007, the organisers aimed to create an event that not only celebrated music but also had a minimal environmental impact. As part of this ethos, they planted 2 000 trees in the early years of the festival to offset its carbon footprint.

Tickets went on sale in October and include discounts for NHS staff and students. As of now, 4-day and VIP tickets have sold out, but 3-day and single-day tickets are still available. For more details on ticketing and the complete line-up, visit the official 2000trees Festival website.

Speaking about Evergreen in a press release, lead singer Lynn Gunn said: “Evergreen is a reclamation of control in our post-pandemic culture, posing a complex discussion on fame, technology, spectacle, and female autonomy.”

She added: “It’s not my job as an artist to cater to certain trends or people’s nostalgia, I have to follow what I feel compelled to follow and do my best to uncover what truths and messages I can find within that. I have to always embrace the risks of change and trust that each stage of my music’s life will resonate with whoever it’s meant to.”

Moreover, when speaking about the new album, Gunn told Flood Magazine: “More than ever, PVRIS has, and always will be, anti-formula, anti-virality, and anti-instant gratification.”

The American multi-instrumentalist  cited the label’s “lack of space, lack of time, lack of budget and conflict of priorities/interest regarding the PVRIS brand and community”, and said that as a result, it became “nearly impossible to have this album written, recorded, conceptualized, up to standard and ready for your consumption by the time of this tour”. She then went on to say PVRIS “is now free to move forward into this next chapter”, Gunn continued: “I never want to compromise the creative quality or integrity of our music and visuals. This is something that unfortunately had to be done too many times on this past album cycle (we gave it our best despite the circumstances). I refuse to do that moving forward. PVRIS deserves better and you deserve better, as you are the sole reason we get to do what we do.” You can view the full post and the band’s statement below.

After 2014’s White Noise, which reinvented what it means to be an alternative rock/indie band. Blending synth-pop with an indie vibe, Lynn Gunn stood tall and made her mark on the music industry. Especially with 2017’s All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell took Pvris to new heights on the festival circuit. With performances at Reading & Leeds, Download, and Slam Dunk festival where they have made a name for themselves as one to watch. Showing how far they have come since Acoustic (2014).

After two brilliant new songs reigning in the new era of Pvris, comes the announcement we have all been waiting for. A 13 date tour spanning across Europe has been announced, including three four stops across the UK. This will be Pvris’ first show in the UK in a long time, due to the restrictions from lockdown. Having not had the chance to tour Use Me (2020), the energy built upon the anticipation of this tour will be through the roof.

Will brand new songs ready to hit the stage, including: “Dead Weight”, “Old Wounds”, and “Hallucinations”; alongside, the two newest singles. Support acts are yet to be announced, but after touring alongside the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Muse, and Neck Deep, Pvris are bound to bring some heavy hitters alongside them.

Lead singer Lynn Gunn spoke about the single, saying it’s “about being a people pleaser, holding other up and never asking for anything back. Quite often that can be taken advantage of and it can be hard to set ‘no’, set boundaries. This feels amplified, especially as a woman. This song is about stepping into my power as a woman, shedding old skin and taking nurturing, caretaker feminine nature and turning it into a super power.”

The music video for ‘Dead Weight’ also premiered yesterday, with Gunn driving a hearse with a mini disco ball on the rear-view mirror as she wears glitter and dances with other lost souls. It has already gained 54,000 views and was directed by YHELLOW, who also worked on 2019 singles ‘Old Wounds’ and ‘Hallucinations’.

PVRIS shared details of their new album, letting fans know that it is set to be released on 1st May with their record label Reprise (Warner Records). ‘Use Me’ is the title, and it can be pre-ordered from their website now. They have also announced the track-list, which can be seen below.

1. Gimme A Minute (Unreleased)
