The 2000trees festival has announced the line-up for the Early Entry evening (Thursday): Headliners are Future of the Left will be joined by The Xcerts, Gallops, Max Raptor, Freeze the Atlantic and EMPIRE.

These acts are among the organisers’ favourite bands - most have previously played at 2000trees and are back by popular demand on July 11, giving fans the chance to enjoy an extra day of music and revelry.

More than half of Early Entry tickets have already been sold in just a week of ticket sales and the festival has sold out for the last three years.

Around 5,000 music fans will get the chance to discover the very best new and underground British bands on four stages, plus comedy, DJs, quality food and drink and children’s entertainment.

Founder Andy Rea said: “We are really pleased to welcome back some of our favourite bands and we were inundated with fan requests for them.

“We’re certain Thursday night will be one to remember and we can’t wait for the music to start.”

2000trees Festival 2013 takes place at Upcote Farm, Cheltenham, from Thu 11th to Sat 13th July 2013
