TRUCK 2018

[BeddingatReading]

My money’s got to be on Noel, normally I’d say he was too big for Truck but considering he did Y Not a couple of years ago I’d say he still has a good relationship with the organisers, plus he’s just announced a date in Oxfordshire so maybe they’ve agreed to hold him back until that sells out

I’ll be surprised, he’s headlining in Sheffield on the Saturday and booked to perform in Paris on either Saturday or Sunday at Lollapalooza...

Courteeners would be my guess

You would hope that one day bookers will realise no one south of Birmingham cares about the courteeners 

I did notice that Truck's Twitter account liked the Courteeners yesterday. The little I've heard from them has been pretty uninspiring and they certainly wouldn't be headliner to really grab people's attention and sell more tickets.

With CHVRCHES being added to Citadel what are the chances of them being the final Truck headliner?

Initially I thought they were a strong contender, I know that they tried to get them in 2016.

not sure they a big enough to be described as  ‘one of our biggest headliners yet’  as Truck have mentioned on Twitter...

Yeah, it’s coming next week...

The current line up insanely poor. Praying for a 2nd announcement which actually makes this line up good, because otherwise I've wasted 120 quid.

 

Y not's line up is 1000x better than this so hope they can claw it back.

I’m sure it’ll improve, it’s always a fun weekend whatever

y-not was always going to be a BIG lineup this year, to make up for last years cancellations...

Any predictions other than Noel as the final headliner?

If the final headliner is as big as they’re making them out to be I guess Stereophonics?

I’m sticking with Stereophonics 

Sunday sub coming tomorrow too, and Saturday Market stage headliner. 

Pretty sure De La Soul are on before Friendly Fires, which puts Jake under George. 

Ratboy in the tent on Sunday

Any thoughts on who it might be if it isn't Stereophonics? I don't think it will be..

[RedBalloon]

they have said the headliner is english which rules out stereophonics.

one of the most striking things I've learnt while being sat here for 20 years is....never trust a promoter for accuracy.

Someone probed further and they changed it to English. 

Hmmm not sure what to think now!

really hope it isn’t Courteeners

Just saying, is this design not similar to some design kaiser chiefs have used?
