including Wild Beasts, Wintersleep, The Joy Formidable, & The Candyskins

Thursday 28th May 2009


Wild Beasts, Wintersleep, and The Joy Formidable, lead the second announcement of acts that have been confirmed as appearing at this year's Truck festival.

Wild Beasts
The latest acts to be added to the festival's line-up also include We Were Promised Jetpacks, White Belt Yellow Tag, Vieux Farka Toure, Damo Suzuki and an all-star cast of 'sound-carriers', A Place To Bury Strangers, Sad Day For Puppets, Dear Reader, Hjaltalin, Euros Childs, and Truckers Of Husk.

Truck shows it's support for the local music scene with the whole of Sunday's Msain Stage line-up dedicated to Oxford based bands, 'Oxford Day' will include The Candyskins, and Dive Dive, joining the previously confirmed headliners Supergrass. The Cowshed Rave returns with a line-up that will include DJ Food & DK, Total Science, Lee Mortimer, Foamo, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

Supergrass, and Ash, have been announced as the headliners with Red Light Company, Detroit Social Club, Yacht, And So I Watch You From Afar, Pulled Apart By Horses, Calories, Data.Select.Party, Errors, Heloise & the Savoir Faire, Chew Lips, Sportsday Megaphone, nervous test_pilot, and Broken Records. For the line-up details, day and stage splits as available please click here.

The event is called Truck Festival because bands originally used two trucks put together as the main stage. Truck takes place over the weekend of Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th at Hill Farm, Steventon, near Abingdon, in Oxfordshire.

Tickets are on sale, and as last year, kids go free (under 14 accompanied by an adult). An adult weekend ticket is priced at £70 including camping and workshops. Children under 14 years old must be accompanied by a paying adult, max 2 per adult, and still need tickets.
