Tickets for the eleventh Truck Festival go on sale tomorrow.

The event, for which These New Puritans, Television Personalities (pictured) and Emmy the Great are among those already confirmed, will take place on the 19th and 20th of July at Hill Farm in Steventon.

Tickets are priced at £60 (parking an extra fiver) and will be available from the local shops listed below from 11.11am. It’s a “clumsy Spinal Tap reference”, the organisers say.

Anyway:

Oxford Centre - SCRIBBLER
Cowley Road – SS20, VIDEOSYNCRATIC, MUSIC BOX
Summertown - VIDEOSYNCRATIC
Abingdon - MOSTLY BOOKS
Didcot - WINDJAMMER
Wallingford - TOBY ENGLISH BOOKS
Witney - RAPTURE
Reading - GUITAR WORKS
High Wycombe - COUNTER CULTURE

If you can’t make it to any of those outlets, an online batch will be crowbarred open, too, but to know where to go for that you’ll have to register here in order to receive an email with a secret online ticket link tomorrow afternoon.

In other, Truck-related news, the organisers’ new WOOD festival will be headlined on the Sunday night by Lightspeed Champion, while Circulus will perform on the Saturday.

Already confirmed for WOOD are Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, King Creosote and more – details, here.

where's WOOD

taking place?

too lazy to google.


get cape/ lightspeed

and circulus?
whats the capacity.....i hope the line-ups get better.

Dev plays everywhere, all the time, Get capes last record sucks balls, nice guy tho he is, and circulus are.....weak is the politest i can think of


how

soon did these sell out last year? i want to go again but havn't really organised it...


Fuck Truck

Ticket prices more than doubled since 2005

Line-ups hardly even announced before tickets go on sale

Way to turn into Glastonbury...


yawn

at least there'll be one more ticket available for those of us who continue to love the event.


re Get Cape

nice guy tho he is?!

He's a self-righteous, preaching hippo


well, he's always seemed like

a nice guy when i've met him- i havent seen him live though so i don't know if hes preachy....but i'm a billy bragg fan (although increasingly being put off by what he is becoming) so any preachyness on gcwcf's behalf might get lost on me


*Facts wrong

1. Ticket prices haven't more than doubled.

2. You sound pretty ungrateful, and whilst
I know nobody 'owes' anything to any music festival, but the fact that it still exists after the flooding last year is a minor miracle.

3. Truck has WAY more in common with old-style Glastonbury than the pigpen that it's become of late.

4. yawn


oops

unnecessary but


you fail math?

Ticket prices 2005 - £27.50
Ticket prices 2008 - £60

I like Truck but the increases in capacity and doubling of prices, not to mention prices inside the festival aren't what it was about. Shame.


Ahem

2004: £25
2005: £27.50
2006: £40
2007: £55
2008: £60

So yes, they *have* more than doubled.
But I'm still going, even if the lineup hasn't changed in five years. Cos it's fun!


Oh yeah

:$ my mistake


got wood?
