Exclusive: Truck Festival 2006 line-up announced
We're awfully pleased to announce the first raft of bands for this year's Truck Festival
As official media partners and programme-makers for this year's Truck Festival, we're insanely happy to be the first to give you the lowdown on the initial raft of bands.
This year also sees the involvement of our friends at BBC 6music, another fantastic string to Truck's bow as the best alt. radio station in the country. We'll be getting down and dirty with them and between us will have the whole festival covered in our own unique styles.
Truck Festival tickets have well-and-truly sold out now, meaning that the not-for-profit festival can benefit more charities than ever, this year donating to a whopping forty-seven.
So, without further ado, please find the first bands to be announced for Truck Festival 2006. Also be reminded that there is more to come, including a rather special headliner for Saturday night...

thread
linking DiS article has been deleted on truck website. does that mean you weren't supposed to tell us yet?
we were definitely allowed to
there was panicked phonecalls and everything!
well yeah
but last year was AWESOME. and this year has jetplane.
I am chuffed
just for 65dos, ymss, suitable case for treatment and mystery jets.
Most of the names mean nothing to me but I'm sure it's gonna be great.
My mood is now a good one.
Woooo!
Apart from that this means I'll be in the vicinity of Seth Lakeman at least three times in four months. He'd better be good. (There's also a couple of self-confirmed bands not on that list, but no matter.)
Everything about this festival
Is good.
this is so awesome
but also terrible because I won't be in the country.... :(
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
i almost wept with pure joy.
:O
Jetplane???? too bad i didn't get a ticket :'(
Er
well I've never heard of 95% of those, but I'm sure most of them will be good. So yay :)
i
want to go
regina freakin spector!
chris freakin mcmath!
*faints*
I think
my heart just exploded (in a good way). I ought to really save some excitement for Radiohead and ATP but this is sooo much better. Exclamation marks - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was hoping...
robbie williams hologram was going to play. nevermind!
by the way..
why wasn't this on the truck site first? bit bizarre?!
that seems
like quite a lt of bands to me, surely there cant be THAT many more to be announced?
Morrison Steam Fayre
they sound ace
why
are they keeping the headliner hush hush? *shuts up*
it all looks quite good :]
yayayayayay!!
regina spektor!
chicks on speed!
chris tt!
trademark!!
yayayayayayayayayayayay!!
Hundred Reasons
Will be like an old friend, albeit one who has become somewhat different from myself.
blimey
this is going to be amazing, yes?
65daysofstatic
How exciting is this - I hear that the special thing 65daysofstatic are going to do - is do some singing...
Regina Spektor!
no way!
YAYAYAYAYYAYAAYAYAYAYYAY
The Organ!
Tremendous. And Trademark. Superb.
Regin-a!
Another very happy Truck punter here!
The addition of MC Lars would be perfect
he he
that made me chuckle.
I am party to some rare (for me) insider knowledge about who the headliners are.
MC Lars
He told me he was playing when I saw him a couple of weeks ago, and signed my girlfriends CD 'see you at truck!'
So he better be there.
When is it?
I hate to sound dumb, but when is it?
It's The Colony!
Just to correct it's The Colony not Colony!
They did that last year with our
name! Picky I know, but you got to get these things right!
Oxide and Neutrino
class.
Apparently...
They and YMSS will play back to back, and overlap their sets. Why it did not provoke me to buy a ticket when I discovered this I will never ever know.
I keep
reading 'Thomas Truax' as 'Royal Trux'
if only
: (
not oxide & blinkin neutrino..
THE NEUTRINOS! - different prospect entirely - crazee female fronted four-headed monster thing...

truckety...
i know a few of the bands playing but decided to give some of the others a bit of a listen online. How many "electro-indie-pop and/or new wave bands" do you want? sure, occasionally they can be good/original but i think they got a bit overexcited with that genre. the whole The (insert band name here) thing as well. i'm trying to keep an open mind really, but if they've got the the prefix you pretty much know what they're about (retro! retro! retro! haircuts, wearing glasses when you don't need to and smug post nathan barley-ism) I love truck and have been to every year since the second one, but i think i'll spend more time drinking than watching many bands reference the 80's over and over again. but maybe i'll be proved wrong.

CHRIS MCMATH, u know it makes sense :)
