Just bought 2000 Trees tickets for next year.
30% off Early Bird, and full refund til end of year if you change your mind.
Gutted I missed this year - which was headlined by Coheed & Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, Alexisonfire, Pvris and Kneecap.
Weather was supposed to be a killer though.

Oh, it's a fantastic festival. Only been the once (last year) but loved the place - great vibe, full of sound people, amazing food and drink (local beer from Arbor Ales.. lovely change from Diageo/ Heineken from LiveNation).
One open Main Stage and the very cool Forest Stage (as below) and all the rest are tents.
Last year - watched some great acts I knew (Frank Turner, Manchester Orchestra, The Gaslight Anthem, Spanish Love Songs, Bob Vylan, Los Campesinos) and some great acts I didn't know about (Hot Milk, grandson, Don Broco, Turnover, Boston Manor, Hot Mulligan).
They also do VIP for an extra £80 which, while it sounds like a lot, you get a lot for your money including exclusive VIP bar (with free glass of prosecco on arrival) and entry into arena, VIP camping area and showers, a raised platform towards back of the Main Stage (which gets great sound), merch bag with shirt and beer koozies and few other bits (badges, poster etc).
Oh, and it's free flow too but their motto is "heroes buy beeros" which you definitely would as there's lovely draft beer (as mentioned).
Handy for me too as regular flights from Knock to Birmingham and Bristol.
Can't recommend it enough.

Lads! What a weekend! Beautiful, sun drenched Wales! Hands down the best weekend of music I've ever had. WH Lung, Delivery, BC Camplight, Naima Bock Los Campesinos, Adult DVD, Rocket, MJ Lenderman, Westside Cowboy, English Teacher, CMAT, Being Dead, Warmduscher, Divorce, Yard Act, Joshua Idehen, Beth Gibbons.....every set incredible. I'm leaving out a tonne of stuff i saw and loved, so difficult to pick highlights.
We're having a moment, us Irish. The amount of people, Englush, Welsh, walking around in Bohs tops, Irish jerseys, county jerseys..incredible. Kneecap were bedlam on Thursday, never seen Far Out tent like that, very entertaining stuff. CMAT packed the main stage arena and had everyone in the palm of her hand. Oisín Leech great in the Walled Garen, Chalk too.
MJ Lenderman probably my favourite set of the weekend but Yard Act blew me away. I wasn't sure the main stage Sunday evening was for them but they were incredible. He's a fantastic front man, love his lyrics, had the place bouncing.
If you've never listened to Joshua Idehen, do yourself a favour. A beautiful man. Saw him twice yesterday, I'm still smiling thinking about it.
Adult DVD. Next year's Getdown Services. Great craic.
I'm coming away really appreciating the fact that's it's independent. They're their own masters. A few of the artists commented on the fact that they stuck with Kneecap and **** the consequences. No politicians to keep happy, no corporate sponsors.
You can keep your Glasto.
