In other news, after lengthy negotiations with the council, Truck has completed a licence amendment for this year. This means they are able to increase their site capacity from 5000 to 6000. After taking into account the 100 bands, and various stewards, crew, Rotary Club members, vicars, etc, the organisers are able to release a further 700 weekend tickets, and 300 dayTrucker tickets (for each day).
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.
