it is more likely to be the best line-up ever if The Punkles show up again, hehe.

Not that i'm knocking it though, it's great.

According to a post on the Truck Festival forums, Jetplane Landing have had to pull out due to family illness. Don't know whether that's confirmed, but they aren't on the lineup page, anyway.

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

Last I'd heard was that it was currently "undecided" - for now they're not on the lineup, but they may go back on, depends how it goes.

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

Biffy Clyro too. Smelly!
Oh well, it's the small bands that make it what it is.
And Patrick Wolf of Glee.

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

I hate the fact that my favourite festival has to be on the opposite side of the country from me. Has it expanded? cos two years ago it was tiny.

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

Apparently it has expanded - the camping is in a different field and there's a little market. But that's only what I've heard because last year was my first Truck anyway.

Why are the Magic Numbers so big when they haven't even released an album yet, just a few months ago they were relegated to supporting the Bees at the Electric Ballroom and now they are headlining the Forum????? What's going on???

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

Next big thing (trademark) innit?

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

Beats me. Terrible band.
EMI have spent quite a lot of money by the sounds of things. Don't think The Forum is sold out tho...

Re: A quick word about Truck Festival...

Punkles are doubtful - I know the guy responsible for them being invited to play and I don't belioeve that he is going this year.
