Truck Festival announce initial line-up

Having already cemented itself as the UK's most beloved small festival, Truck Festival returns for its 23rd year with an incredibly stellar line-up.

Bombay Bicycle Club, The Kooks, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Blossoms, DMA’S, Pale Waves, La Roux, The Hives, Shame, Dinosaur Pile Up, The Lathums, The Hara, Chappaqua Wrestling, Fickle Friends, Sundara Karma, The Big Moon, Easy Life, The Pigeon Detectives, The Murder Capital, Swim Deep, Sports Team, The Magic Gang, Matt Maltese, The Snuts and many more have been announced for their 2020 event, which will return to its usual home of Hill Farm in Steventon from the 30th July to the 2nd August.

Speaking about this year's acts, organiser Matt Harrap said, “We're extremely excited to announce our first wave of artists for this year’s show! Having artists of the calibre of The Kooks and the forever requested Bombay Bicycle Club coming to headline the event after many years of asking is truly humbling. Their sets will no doubt live long in the memory. And over the moon to have indie heroes Catfish and the Bottlemen return to Truck to close off Sunday night! I'm also thrilled to have Shame back in 2020 after being unable to perform last year, La Roux closing our Market Stage and, of course, indie royalty The Pigeon Detectives in the Nest.”
