and Irish rap had truly taken over Trees for 30 minutes. Against all odds, they managed to get the crowd moshing towards the end of the set to tracks such as H.O.O.D.
It was extremely Irish and extremely fun. Their brand of not giving a shit whilst rapping about shite sniffer dogs, asking the crowd for drugs, and calling the crowd the sexiest crowd they’ve ever seen was as hilarious as it was fun. One of the first acts on the main stage was Irish rap group Kneecap, who are perhaps not the most rock n’ roll act to grace 2000trees but they were by far, one of the best.
ROAD TO NOWHERE LYRICS BFMV FULL
5/10Īfter an amazing Wednesday night enjoying the silent disco in one of the most amazing surroundings, you’ll ever get drunk in at the Forest Stage, the first full day of music begun. Despite sounding good, Black Foxxes struggled to gain a real connection with the casual onlooker which naturally effected the set. Although to be truthful, a lot of their music was drowned out by people in the crowd talking to each other as the band struggled to capture the full attention of the audience. 10/10īlack Foxxes drew one of the biggest crowds of the night as more and more people arrived at the festival and set up camp and wondered down to The Forest Stage. It was a stunning set, that got everyone perfectly set up for a big first night. As the band finished and chants of one more song were chanted, it was the first time in my experience where a band actually turned around to each other, and the people backstage for a few minutes and came back, and played another song, which was originally unplanned. The sound quality was immense, and the quality of the music was even better as tracks such as Stay Down and Swarm had the crowd going wild. The crowd lapped up every track they played, from both old and new albums, and the band even got a moshpit going in the middle of the forest. Naturally, having a heavy hardcore band like Palm Reader playing The Forest Stage would have been unheard of previously, but this year, it worked fantastically. This year, The Forest Stage had been turned into a larger version with a modern wooden stage, in which you could fit a whole band into, rather than a small acoustic set, which is what the stage had been used for previously.
Palm Reader are a 2000trees favourite, and after this set, you can completely see why. 2000trees will have likely marked one of their first shows since before covid, however it didn’t show as the band dusted off any cobwebs pretty quickly as Danny Nedelko’s trademark dance moves went down well with an open-minded crowd, their set consisted of a variety of new songs and old songs which kicked off the start of the weekend pretty well in the lovely Forest setting. However, as covid hit, so did their momentum, with the band not releasing any music nor news of a debut album in nearly three years. During this period, they were touring extensively and playing pretty much everywhere and anywhere, whilst also releasing music regularly. Their frontman Danny Nedelko has gained a lot of press after Saturday headliner’s IDLES hit track of the same name back in 2018. Heavy Lungs are a band that have had a stuttered start to their career. The 2022 edition of 2000trees also saw the first ever time the festival hosted live music on a Wednesday with The Forest Stage being open for business with a variety of underground UK artists taking to the stage. So, with three years off, does the festival still carry the same magic? Returning with a line-up that has been amended many times due to you know what, it is still the festival’s biggest line-up to date. The people, the music, the environment, and the surroundings of the stunning Upcote Farm in Cheltenham all combine to make this the festival to go to for fans of music from all backgrounds. This may sound like a bold statement but anyone who has been to festival will likely vouch for this. Under Again Road To Nowhere Temper Temper P.o.2000trees is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best festival in the UK.
