Isle of Wight punk band, Grade 2, has been announced for a major rock festival near Cheltenham next year.

2000 Trees Festival, running from July 9 to July 12, will take place at Withington’s Upcote Farm.

Grade 2 join headline acts including Canadian post-hardcore group, Alexisonfire, noughties US rock band, Taking Back Sunday, and West Belfast hip-hop trio, Kneecap.

2000 Trees Festival has won multiple awards since its first edition in 2007.

At this year’s festival, fellow Isle of Wight musician Lauran Hibberd featured on the lineup.

Grade 2, made up of Jack Chatfield, Jacob Hull and Sid Ryan, formed in Ryde when the members were 14.

In December, they’ll be heading out across the UK on a headline tour, stopping off at places including Newcastle, Guilford and Wolverhampton.

Last year, they supported rock legends Guns N Roses and made it into the UK Indie charts with their self titled album.
