That means there are 12 slots available, 10 of which are reserved for Sonicbids bands.

Truck is about discovering your new favourite band and rediscovering those resident eccentrics on the fringes whilst chewing a burger from the Rotary Club or an ice cream from the Vicar before buying a few pints from the cross-dressing bar staff!

Truck Fest was founded by Robin and Joe Bennett on a farm within a welly wang from their family home. Well known for a DIY attitude and for spotting the next big thing first, TRUCK has seen the likes of everyone from Ash to The Lemonheads to Garth Hudson grace its stages. With a strong charitable ethos (the RotaryClub flip burgers and the vicar sellsice-c creams) the event has raised thousands for local and national causes.

Other previous performers include: Mystery Jets, Supergrass, These New Puritans, Camera Obscura, Ian Maclagan (Small Faces) and the Bump Band, Noah & the Whale, Damo Suzuki, Wildbeasts, Biffy Clyro, Emmy the Great, The Coal Porters and The Television Personalities.
