Truck Festival 2013

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Went last year for the first time, really enjoyed it. As much as I enjoyed it, I'm waiting till the lineup to buy a ticket. First acts on Monday, who do you reckon is in with a shout?

I'd go for Foals?

what's truck like? Thinking about attending this year. I've been on the website etc and i'm only slightly apprehensive. :-)

Has quite a similar vibe to Glastonbury. There are checkpoints between campsite and stages, but that's just for wristbands, you're allowed to drink anyway. Some good stages, good entertainment later on etc. I'd been intending to go for years as its very local to me, but only really got around to it last year as a couple of friends were playing.

Probably the second best festival I've been to.

First announcement tomorrow, coinciding with Foals record release so I'm fairly confident with them having played several times, and it being their local festival, it may be them.

The Horrors, Dan Le Sac vs S.P, Ash among first names. Slightly surprised Foals aren't there yet, but their relationship with the fest hasn't been great in the past.

some acts I love to watch in that line-up, quite envious.

Foals could be playing third on the main stage at Reading, I'd have thought that not only puts them out of Truck's range but also means they may be tied up in some 'no headlining small festivals that may detract from our potential ticket sales' contract.

[mrtourette]

The Vaccines and YMA6 did last year. I was going more off the fact its their local festival, it was their first ever festival etc. etc. As I said, I'd forgotten they fell out with the festival the year it was cancelled, so that may be their sticking point.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Headlined smaller festivals.

[mrtourette]

Ah OK. Well it it isn't a given but FR are known to wrap up bands in exclusive deals and have them play R&L and Latitude, and the guy from Truck was complaining last year about having to deal with exclusivity deals major festivals get bands to sign. Other point still stands, a band the size of 3rd R&L/Latitude headliners are probably too big for Truck.

[mrtourette]

The Joy Formidable = ticket purchased.

[the wonderwhy]

Well this is an ideal line up... why did I have to book my holiday for July?

[kaosmark2]

Why does Truck have to clash with Latitude?

Now I have to make a choice before they both sell out.

[Bullet Tin]

A nice vibe at Truck.

[mrtourette]

ASIWYFA / PATRICK WOLF / ULTRASOUND / FOY VANCE / PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING / ALESSI'S ARK / ROYAL REPUBLIC / WILD SWIM / MILO GREENE / WOUNDS

[mrtourette]

Aside from the six headliners already announced here are some other day splits (from official sites):

Friday - Ash, The Joy Formidable, Max Raptor, Treetop Flyers

Saturday - Gaz Coombes, Ultrasound, Royal Republic, Alessi's Ark,

Lewis Watson, Brother & Bones.

[mrtourette]

More acts today, they have said that there's a couple of big slots on the main stage still to announce for the Saturday so might get some names around the same size as The Joy Formidable or Patrick Wolf I guess.

Looking forward to Truck, usually a great little festival and last year was particularly good job from the new organisers. Can’t wait: Horrors, Public Service Broadcasting, Dan le Sac + all the bands in the day will be on my must see list… Will Butts Brewery be running the a real ale bar again…?

I have a campervan ticket for sale for £25 (about a tenner under face value if you include all the fees and charges). I sold my campervan and they (Gigantic/ Truck) won’t give me a refund

Anyone interested in it? I can post if there’s enough time or deliver on the door

Cheers

Anyone else going? only 3 days...

and the weather looks amazing!
