July's Truck Festival - DiS sponsored in its 11th year and held at Hill Farm, Steventon - has sold out.

Featuring the likes of These New Puritans (pictured), Television Personalities, Maps, The Lemonheads and Camera Obscura, this year's event promises to be one of the best yet.

Sorry... back track. More like 'sold out'.

Say the festival's organisers:

"Yes folks it’s true – we’ve sold all our tickets, a feat some of the bigger and 'more popular' festivals haven't yet managed. As always, some people didn’t get their tickets in time, but we have a nice surprise – we've put an extra 500 tickets on sale! We've never done this before - but after talking to Alan the Farmer we've decided there's room for a few more Truckers at Hill Farm this year - and with a line up and atmosphere as special as this it would be rude not to!

You can pick up your special TRUCK ticket by clicking THIS LINK. There is also the facility to buy a coach ticket from London, Oxford or Didcot too!

"Come and join us for a weekend of fantastic TRUCKNESS JULY 19TH AND 20TH 2008, HILL FARM, CHURCH LANE, STEVENTON, OXFORDSHIRE OX13 6SW."

Told. Going? Gone, soon. See you there, p'raps.


i won't be the last person

to read that as Television.


EVERY DAMN TIME

THIS IS A BIG ONE


Bloody hell

TVPs have been referenced in every other Truck story, and they're well known in their own right. Now I understand why nobody can tell the difference between 'And Not' and 'Without'.


yep

:(


Anyone care to give me some hints as to who else is playing?

The line-up so far isn't too enticing...


so it hasnt sold out

there are more tickets avaialble


well it did

but now it's not


in the smae way reading/leeds

sells out in minutes but then oops we found 5000 more tickets. same thing, different time scale. they knew the capacity.


whatevs...


These New Puritans

is the girl still in the band? She wasn't there when they supported Blood Red Shoes on April 9th...


it is!


Television!!!!

Personalities........ nearly got my hopes up


if only

we coudl afford Television!


.

Fucking shit. Anyone want to buy a Truck ticket for CHEAPER than face value?

Otherwise I'll never sell it :(


TVP's

are tons better than Televison anyway.


do it

then hopefully someone with better taste will get to go.

seriously, the lineups awesome: asobi seksu, Okkervil River, Emmy the Great, Neil Halstead, Noah and the Whale, Johnny Foreigner, Jonquil, Le Volume Courbe, and countless others...


ahh.. you're talking about the extra tickets

not the line up being shit aren't you? sorry about that : )

yay truck!

wow.


everyone i wanted

pulled out too, before they were even added to the line up!


but we've got an exciting replacement!

so no worries there.
