Tickets for the eleventh Truck Festival go on sale tomorrow.

The event, for which These New Puritans, Television Personalities (pictured) and Emmy the Great are among those already confirmed, will take place on the 19th and 20th of July at Hill Farm in Steventon.

Tickets are priced at £60 (parking an extra fiver) and will be available from the local shops listed below from 11.11am. It’s a “clumsy Spinal Tap reference”, the organisers say.

Anyway:

Oxford Centre - SCRIBBLER
Cowley Road – SS20, VIDEOSYNCRATIC, MUSIC BOX
Summertown - VIDEOSYNCRATIC
Abingdon - MOSTLY BOOKS
Didcot - WINDJAMMER
Wallingford - TOBY ENGLISH BOOKS
Witney - RAPTURE
Reading - GUITAR WORKS
High Wycombe - COUNTER CULTURE

If you can’t make it to any of those outlets, an online batch will be crowbarred open, too, but to know where to go for that you’ll have to register here in order to receive an email with a secret online ticket link tomorrow afternoon.

In other, Truck-related news, the organisers’ new WOOD festival will be headlined on the Sunday night by Lightspeed Champion, while Circulus will perform on the Saturday.

Already confirmed for WOOD are Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, King Creosote and more – details, here.

Fuck Truck

Ticket prices more than doubled since 2005

Line-ups hardly even announced before tickets go on sale

Way to turn into Glastonbury...

at least there'll be one more ticket available for those of us who continue to love the event.

re Get Cape

nice guy tho he is?!

He's a self-righteous, preaching hippo

*Facts wrong

1. Ticket prices haven't more than doubled.

2. You sound pretty ungrateful, and whilst
I know nobody 'owes' anything to any music festival, but the fact that it still exists after the flooding last year is a minor miracle.

3. Truck has WAY more in common with old-style Glastonbury than the pigpen that it's become of late.

4. yawn

you fail math?

Ticket prices 2005 - £27.50
Ticket prices 2008 - £60

I like Truck but the increases in capacity and doubling of prices, not to mention prices inside the festival aren't what it was about. Shame.
