Witnessing record demand for tickets and establishing itself as a definitive weekend in the summer calendar for music lovers and more, Truck Festival has revealed its second wave of names joining a stacked lineup that brings together the biggest names in indie and alternative music bursting with laugh-out-loud character.
Whether it’s music, comedy or late-night party celebrations – Truck Festival thrives in its variety all pulled together by the spirit of a festival that throws away the outside world and embraces the fun of it all. Spanning across multiple stages and ensuring Truck in 2025 is once again a festival with its finger firmly on the pulse of the most exciting artists in the indie scene right now – over 15 names join an already unrivalled bill. Truck favourites Courting make a welcome return to Hill Farm bringing their latest unpredictable and fizzing turn fresh from the release of latest album ‘Lust For Life, or How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’. Capturing collective audiences across the globe, Kingfishr’s rise to the top sees them come through Truck 2025 for what’s sure to be a magical set of singalong anthems that has already seen them sell out huge venues across their native Ireland and the UK. One of the most exciting and acclaimed bands of recent times Honeyglaze come to Truck with the joy of latest album ‘Real Deal’ pointing to a band who revel in flipping the script on what alternative music can be.
Truck’s music lineup sits as a who’s who of the bands exciting music fans right now. Buzzing riffs and funny observations of the world around them ring true from The Pill, who’re set on making a name for themselves and doing a pretty excellent job at it. As are Westside Cowboy, whose inventive take on modern guitar music has seen them grab attention from tastemakers and fill out rooms across the UK – a signal to potentially music fans’ new favourite band. The ramshackle brilliance of Brogeal comes to Truck for the first time, alongside the searing punk power of Wales’ Slate and the punchy indie hooks of rising upcomers The Kites. The raw adrenaline of Basht is sure to be a highlight, whilst the beguiling swoons of The Slow Country take to the Truck stage after making their mark across the capital with a string of eye-opening shows. With the likes of cult titans Johnny Foreigner, Finn Forster and Good Health Good Wealth also joining the lineup today – it somehow adds even more to a ridiculously huge Truck 2025 lineup.
Truck’s reputation as The UK’s Most Warped Village Fete reigns supreme in programming across the weekend that spans beyond its already unrivalled musical lineup. 2025’s Comedy lineup has also been revealed today – lead by one of its biggest headliners to date in Reggie Watts. Revered within the US comedy and music circuit for his mutli-faceted talents, his shows have become a must-watch celebration of creativity. After a long stint as the bandleader on The Late Late Show with James Corden where his musical comedy shined bright, Truck is in for a treat when Reggie Watts makes his debut appearance on the farm this summer. He’s joined by a comedy lineup boasting some of the brightest lights in the UK scene right now including Desiree Burch, Andrew Maxwell, Jessica Fostekew and talked-about ‘The Screen Rot’ podcast co-host Jacob Hawley amongst many more. Side-splitting fun? Truck has you covered.
If you’ve spent your day watching hilarious comedy in-between catching the most exciting bands in the country and massive headline sets alike, the Truck experience thrives late into the evening. Announced today is the festival’s beloved late-night Palm City programming which sees the festival team up with Oxford’s famed club institution Switch. Soundtracking late nights and early mornings in the festival’s Market Stage in 2025, the likes of viral online sensation Fish56Octagon will come to Truck with what’s sure to be a roadblock night of anthems born for Truck memories. D’n’B icon High Contrast touches down in Oxfordshire with the sort of arsenal of unstoppable genre hits that’ll turn Truck into his own playing ground, whilst one of the most talked about names in late-night underground culture Songer prepares to slam out a hotly anticipated set when he swings by Truck this summer. Joined by an array of favourites and sitting as just the first details of a new-and-improved late night selection across the festival site not seen before, it ensures that from the morning through to late-night, Truck is a living breathing world waiting to unveil its next sensational move.
