Sold Out Truck Festival announce full line up....
The greatest testament to Truck’s ever-increasing success is surely that they sold out, during a global pandemic, before having even announced a lineup. The unwavering love for the independent festival’s atmosphere and the trust indie music fans have in Truck has certainly paid off today, with the announcement this evening of their summer 2021 lineup.
Bombay Bicycle Club, The Kooks, Blossoms and DMA’s have been reconfirmed as headliners following the postponement of the 2020 festival, and to reward the patience of all those who’ve waited months to hear tonight’s news, Royal Blood, Fontaines D.C. and Idles have been added.
Other additions include Circa Waves who first played Truck in 2014, as well as a curiously large number of bands and artists with food-related names! If you’re hungry for live music, whet your appetite with Black Honey, Squid, Biig Piig, Porridge Radio, Just Mustard, Honey Lung, and Lime Garden (formerly Lime).
So, it’s time to start making your lists of bands to see and working out which times they might be on which stages - good luck! Some tips from us: The Snuts’s debut album is in the running for No.1 this week, so they’re one to watch, and Kawala’s friendliness and inescapably happy sounds will no doubt be enough to momentarily wipe the struggles of this year from your mind!
If you’re lucky enough to have tickets for the 23rd-25th July, in the words of Truck’s organiser Matt Harrap, “see you at the bar”!
