Joining them over the course of the festival, which takes place from July 25-28 at Hill Farm, Oxford, will be: The Kooks, Declan McKenna, Yard Act, Holly Humberstone, Sea Girls, Black Honey, Peace, The Snuts, Soft Play, The Mysterines, Sundara Karma, English Teacher, The Magic Gang, Bob Vylan, Katy B, and many more.
Speaking about the latest lineup additions, Festival Director Matt Harrap said: âThatâs right, weâve got more! With less than 150 days to go till we open the doors to Truck 2024, weâre delighted to welcome some more amazing names to the lineup across the weekend – from long-time Truck favourites, to some of our favourite new bands causing waves across the UK and some bonafide summer legends.
“Weâre already planning the moment we get the glam out to âMurder On The Dancefloorâ thanks to Sophie Ellis-Bextor joining the party (we wonât be replicating Barry Keoghanâs dancing thank you very much) and to have names such as The Amazons, Heartworms, The Kâs, Overpass and SOFY joining the bill only makes Truck 2024 even bigger. Amazing headline names, history-making moments and the silly laugh-out-loud fun that makes Truck the community it is – we canât wait to be at Hill Farm now. Weâll see you there!â
You can find tickets here.
Also playing at the festival are the Oxford Symphony Orchestra. Back in 2023, a crowd at the festival went viral for moshing to the orchestra performing in the rain.
Songs given the moshpit treatment included the orchestraâs versions of John Williamsâ âIndiana Jones Themeâ and Gioachino Rossiniâs âWilliam Tell Overtureâ.
Last yearâs festival was headlined by Royal Blood, Alt-J, Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats.
