So far this summer we have been delighted to bring
you coverage from both Slam Dunk South and Download Festival. We have had the
time of our lives and seen some amazing bands that have blown us away. But,
we’re not finished yet. Three is the magic number after all.
We are extremely proud to
say that on Saturday morning we will be throwing on our wellies, rolling up our
sleeves and driving to Upcote Farm in Gloucester, Cheltenham to give a helping
hand setting up 2000 Trees Festival.
It is a huge honour to
have the chance to do this and we can’t wait to give you all a sneak peek into
what it really takes to set up such a momentous music event such as 2000 Trees.
There are an unlimited
amount of reasons to get excited for 2000 Trees, especially since it’s bound to
be extra spectacular on this, it’s tenth anniversary year!
But we’ve mulled it over
and managed (with difficulty) to put together the top five reasons why we can’t
wait.
#5 - Food
Food is a contentious
issue in Louder Now HQ purely because I’ve been on a diet (successfully I might
add) since September. It’s not awfully rock ‘n’ roll of me but a lot of
planning and effort went into making sure that I was as good as I could
possibly be both at Slam Dunk and Download.
It has become apparent
that this will not be possible at 2000 Trees.
So far we have been teased
with this mouth-watering selection:
Smokin’ Hot Tamales: We’ve
heard rumours that these guys have completely sold out of Tamales before and I
cannot see that happen. Will be heading for Smokin’ hot Tamales just as soon as
we can for that Authentic Mexican goodness!
BangWok: Street food and
festivals go hand in hand and Thai Street food is the stuff that dreams of made
of. Chicken and Tofu are on the menu so they’ll be seeing a lot of us
considering they cater to our incredibly varied dietary requirements. We’re
just too cool.
Chicken Shack: Chicken
marinated in buttermilk for 24hours before being deep fried? Just the sound of
it is enough to make you crave it but wait until you see the pictures. Oh my
word. I want one of the chicken sandwiches as soon as physically possible.
The Cheese Truck: This is
the main attraction as far as I’m concerned (food wise of course). When I first
saw this it was the deal breaker diet-wise. Grilled cheese toasties are one of
the main things I miss and it’s incredibly likely I’m going to be eating them
for breakfast, lunch and dinner on at least one day.
Since I originally wrote
this I’ve been scrolling through pictures of the goodies that The Cheese Truck
has to offer and I’ve just seen spinach involved. I could not be more excited
about this situation if I tried.
There are links to these
guys included above and I’ll be sharing much more over on our Instagram and
Twitter (follow us if you haven’t already!)
Get prepared for food
Instagram posts over the course of the coming fortnight. It’s gonna get messy
(seriously I should consider packing a bib.)
