| After rumours abound earlier this week thanks to lineup ‘leeks’… Truck Festival has revealed the first details of its hotly anticipated return in 2022, bringing together some of the most celebrated and beloved faces in modern alternative music for a weekend of celebration, memories and more at festival fans’ favourite UK festival. Returning in July 2022, Truck will once again be opening its doors for a generational rite of passage – full of landmark performances, the best in new and thriving alternative music and its distinctive brand of fun and mischief that’ll have the Truck faithful once again basking in an unforgettable festival experience. It couldn’t happen any other way. Three years in the making, Truck returns and delivers in style with 5 not-to-be-missed headliners that leaves the competition in the dust – with Sam Fender, Kasabian, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Kooks and Blossoms all confirmed as part of a massive 2022 lineup. Arguably the most talked-about UK artist of the past 12 months, Sam Fender steps up for a momentous headline performance – pulling from his rapturously received second album ‘Seventeen Going Under’ that has commanded 5 star ratings and packed out venues over the past few months. With an arsenal of hits in his back pocket and an impassioned live show primed for the biggest of stages, expect his headline turn at Truck Festival to be a seminal moment for a star soundtracking a new generation like no other. One of the UK’s most celebrated live bands of the past 15 years, Kasabian make their long-awaited Truck debut for a Sunday night takeover that’ll have Hill Farm shaking from start to finish. After headlining the biggest festivals on the planet across their storied career, expect anthems such as ‘Fire’, ‘Club Foot’, ‘Empire’, ‘Underdog’, ‘L.S.F.’ and ‘Shoot The Runner’ to go off as Serge & Co deliver big-time next July. Indie greats Bombay Bicycle Club head to Truck Festival in 2022 with a mesmeric and undeniable headline set that covers their five chart-topping albums, sure to have the whole festival up on their feet dancing. Be sure to ‘Shuffle’ your way to the front for this one, it’s going to be a euphoric party. Speaking of indie icons, The Kooks take their place as Special Guest Co-Headliners of Truck Festival in 2022 – serving up more bangers per hour than any hot-dog vendor present (we’ve checked). Releasing seminal anthem after seminal anthem across their career, their unmistakable knack at singalong moments is sure to ring true next summer, with ‘Naive’, ‘She Moves In Her Own Way’, ‘Ooh La’, ‘Four Leaf Clover’ and ‘Always Where I Need To Be’ just a taste of what’s to come as they seize their own Truck headline moment. Speaking about their Special Guest Co-Headline set at Truck Festival 2022, The Kooks said: “We’re super excited to be headlining Truck Festival for their 25th Anniversary next year. It’s been a long time coming and we can’t wait. See you on the main stage” Kicking things off as part of a special Thursday night welcome is band-of-the-moment Blossoms. Stockport’s finest have gone about taking over ever since the release of their self-titled debut, and they’ve refused to look back since – with countless sold-out headline tours and critically revered albums under their belt. With latest track ‘Care For’ pointing to an exciting next chapter, there’s nobody better to headline Truck’s first night back. Thursday promises to be an unmissable opening, with Blossoms’ joined by the chart-conquering swagger of live titans Black Honey, Scotland’s finest indie blazers Vistas, bustling newcomer Phoebe Green and the hotly tipped Brooke Combe to kick things off in style! |
| Across the weekend, Truck Festival boasts a frankly ridiculous lineup of every artist and every band you simply have to see right now – a capsule of everything shaking things up for a fresh new generation. Chart-topping sensation Sigrid heads to Hill Farm next July, bringing big-time pop bops that’ll have Truck’s finest ready to move as one, whilst some of the biggest breakthrough bands of the past 18 months stake their claim for the top across the festival weekend with vibe-masters Easy Life, soaring Irish titans Inhaler, crackerjack live buzzers Sports Team, and the thrilling Shame all taking their place on a formidable lineup made up of the who’s who of trailblazing new bands. All coming together in one destination over one weekend, it makes Truck truly vital each and every year for a generation of music fans. The ever-evolving figure of Kelis heads to Truck next summer, primed as a true festival favourite and with an array of star-studded anthems at her disposal. One of the most hotly tipped new acts on the planet: Yard Act head to Truck this year following a recent appearance on Later with Jools Holland that showed just why so many are flooding to each and every live show possible. Expect ‘3D Feelings’ galore when indie prince Alfie Templeman brings his genius world of hooks and sounds to Truck in 2022, whilst longtime favourites of the festival Sundara Karma and The Big Moon return with a bubbling new chapter in the works. Whether it’s arms in the air memories with The Magic Gang, wide-eyed indie-pop swagger with Orla Gartland, the blissful warmth of Jade Bird or ferocious heavy hits from Dinosaur Pile-Up and The Subways – Truck Festival shows once again why it’s THE only place to be to capture the sound of right now across one weekend. Baby Queen, Spector and Sam Ryder all take their rightful spots across a weekend where at every turn – the best in essential new music is there and waiting to be discovered. That penchant for future superstars rings true, with an array of the most talked-about and celebrated new voices returning to Truck for unmissable moments that’ll have thousands saying ‘I was there’ before anyone else. Whether it’s the modern-pop superstylings of Pixey and April to the punchy indie swoons of Bloxx, Lauran Hibberd, The Goa Express, Oscar Lang, Lime Garden, Abbie Ozard, Brooke Combe and Swim School, to the bustling local talent such as Joely (with further names/opportunities for local artists to play open through the festival’s Band Applications programme) all the way to the heavy hitting force of names like Do Nothing, Talk Show, Chappaqua Wrestling and Just Mustard – Truck Festival continues its reputation as the epicentre of the sounds of the future.
