This week Kerrang! Editor Luke Morton meets 2000trees festival booker James Scarlett.


Dialling in from his base of operations, James discusses the ins and outs of putting on one of the UK’s best festivals, what makes a 2000trees band, why the British scene is so vibrant right now and who his dream headliners would be.


James also discusses navigating the death threats and outside pressure from having Kneecap headline the festival, and why he has never thought about cancelling.
