Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +more!
Hurrah! 2005 line-up news...
The lovely folks at Truck have announced details of Truck Festival #8 to take place once again this summer at Hill Farm in Steventon, Oxfordshire from 23rd - 24th July 2005.
They will shortly be confirming the full line-up of over 100 acts appearing across 5 stages. But for now we can reveal that Saturday will be headlined by Biffy Clyro and Sunday by The Magic Numbers. Plus this lot:
Black Nielson
Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez

Goldrush
Hondo Maclean
Jetplane Landing

Tickets are priced at £27.50, subject to booking fee. Subject to availability, tickets will increase in price from June 1st to £37.50. Available online from wegottickets.com
There ain't quite a festival like it. Only in the heartland of Oxfordshire in the English summer could something like this happen, every year. It's like Glastonbury probably used to be but with a truck parked in the middle of a field and a barn stage, which is in fact a barn. If you've not been before, perhaps some seasoned festival goers can comment below in no less than 50 words why you should go...

Looks hmmmm, but YMSS are playing, so I'm still going...
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
Truck ain't really about the lineup. If you want endless streams of 'name' bands there are bigger festivals. Truck is small, in a really good way. And Patrick Wolf is playing. Wooo!
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
And so are Towers of London! Wooo! ;)
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
What? How do you know YMSS are playing?
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
I don't know much about them other than that they are some kinda Spinal Tap-esque band maybe? And everyone seems to hate them?
Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
Everyone says that the Magic Numbers are ace live as well, I've never heard them tho so don't blame me if they're shit.
Patrick Wolf, yes!
Patrick Wolf, yes!

I know stuff.
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers
I don't want 'name' bands, I don't like 'name' bands, it's just that those 'name' bands are all a bit hmmmmmm.

the best thing about truck isn't the bands named above. its the bands you stumble across who you have never heard of and are amazing. i've been for the last 3 years and have stumbled across 65daysofstatic, captive state, the brakes, villareal, fi-lo radio and probably more.
disappointed the towers are playing; they are shit! can't wait to see magic numbers and trademark, have heard many good things about them.

Trcuk Festical is amazing.
It was the first festival I've ever been to, and it was a brilliant one to choose.
Yay!

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
They're the new Pistols. They can't play and have no songs, but they are EXTREMELY talented at making a crowd angry, like Selfish Cunt. They look like Motley Crue, but Razorlight are way more Tappish.

That looks ace! And i've got someone to go with me too. Yey. :-)
Fonda 500 are the bestest band in the world. This will be the fourth time I have seen them.
Looking forward to seeing Editors as well. I hope YMSS are there too.
Ace ace ace.
I'm off to practice putting my tent up.

Hi! Quick Update: Magic Numbers are shit derivative pub rock bollocks with no inventiveness and very few tunes. That is all.
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +more!
Spot on Jenna! Just a little additional, also confirmed this year are Dive Dive.

Last year's truck was amazing. 80s Matchbox were truely great. I also saw a quaint little band called The $hit who got me smiling. Looking forward to Patirck Wolf this year.
The best thing however is the feeling of not being ripped-pff at every junction. It's the ripping-off that annoyes me about Reading, especially the whol 'having to pay if you want to know when bands are actually on' thing. None of these shenanigans at Truck. Crossdressing Barmaids/men, icecreams, banana smoothies, the barn that stinks of shit.God I love Truck. Everyone's so friendly as well!

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers
You forgot the clean toilets!
The fact that you can just wander around whenever you like
The vicar's sweet shop
The banana stand!
Wine by the glass & cider by the crate! And the Cider Wasps.
It's 1/50th Glastonbury and well worth the trip. There are lots of local bands to top up the line-up but that only makes me wish the Midlands had an equivalent festival instead of the comercialist V and elitist Splendid Afternoon.
Hopefully other bands like The Shinings, Bob Slayer Project, Amityville, The Lovegods etc. are to be anounced...

Woo-hoo! Just booked my ticket. Only decided to go this morning, but decided to act fast so not to miss out. I've never been before, but I'm definitely having me one of that vicar's ice-creams!
It sounds cracking, so let's hope the weather is good.

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers
Read the faq on the site you paid on - just take the card you paid with and photo ID. It's a ticketless system (yet you still pay £5 fee for booking two tickets...) you just print & go.

What happens at Truck if it rains? is it like/as bad as Glastonbury?

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +more!
If it rains, you will get wet!
Seriously though, it wont rain-it didn't last year!

nothing too inspriring but as jb said, it's not about the bands...
Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers
Both Glastonbury and Truck are now fine when it rains due to adequate drainage. And with 3/4 of Truck's stages being indoors there really isn't a problem if it tips it down (unless you happen to be playing onthe Truck Stage at the time).
It DID rain last year, but only for about 10 minutes.
It's a great festival, especially if you are close, but we did get weird looks from the local kids on the bus with their single mini rucksacks and packed lunches as we had propper camping gear!

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers
they really arent dull.
really.
theyre fantastically inventive and eccentric and resourceful and tender and hard and great.
a bit kiddy sometimes, but a fucking great band, and to call them dull suggests that you just havent actually listened to them.

towers of london at truck:
does this strike anyone as A REALLY BAD IDEA?
while truck has plenty of aggressive, noisey bands, surely a band based purely on having a bad attitude and pissing people off/assaulting audience members/vandalising venue equipment is totally incogruous to the feel of the festival (obviously the organisers know the feel of the festival better than i do, but i'm genuinely concerned.)
well, at least i can laugh at them without having to pay to see them on their own.

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers! +m
I thought the same.
The fact they've been slagging off DiS on stage and apparently want several DiS writers heads on sticks doesn't really thrill me either.
Maybe we can hope it was just a typo.

Re: Truck is 8! Biffy! Patrick Wolf! Magic Numbers
but would they be DiS writers who make up pseudonyms to slag off bands (quite rightly in my opinion)?
(i read this reply at first without checking which post it was replying to -i posted elsewhere in this thread- and thought that you were talking about biffy. which confused me not a little.)
and a typo?
gotta wonder what they were trying to type if they came out with Towers Of London. maybe theres a band that are playing called "bunch of cunts with good management a la MSP" and someone in the office thought they were refering to ToL?

Sounds like a great festival and the fact that they've got Biffy headlining makes it even better.
I can't see why anyone doubts Biffy?
Well they obviously haven't seen them live before. When Biffy go on stage they completely own it and are full of confidence, style and individualism. They are probably the best live band Britian has but still people fail to stand up and take notice of there amazing talent and skill.
It really pisses me off how awsome bands like Biffy and ycni:m for that matter aren't given a chance in todays rock industry. They just seem sort of unknown to be honest. It gets to me that TWATS like Pete Doherty gets on NME for drug abuse and sticking his head up his own arse while worthwhile talented bands await in the shadows for there opportunity to be noticed and be seen as one of the greatest bands in Britian.
Anyways this is such a rant... never the less Biffy will do a brilliant job headlining and i'm sure it will be something special like all Biffy gigs are.
I stay too far away from Oxford or wherever... me is so jelous of you Truck fest go-ers
Skib

Looks great
To me, nowadays it's all about the smaller festivals - I cannot WAIT for TMF this year and Truck looks like it'll be great again as well
I really couldn't give a shit about paying a fortune to watch the big names, i'd rather just have a great time and discover some totally new bands
