Truck 2017

[RedBalloon]

I can imagine it is going to be lower down announcement to really drill home the sales. They are expecting to sell out so there is no need to push the sales with a MASSIVE announcement. Would be lovely just to see a couple of bigger names like lucy rose and glass animals or the flaming lips. but I don't have any hopes because all i want is already on the line up. what a corker.

Deaf Havana, Idris Elba, LOADS of good additions!

This will be my first year at Truck. Any more announcements to come do we know? There's a smaller band called The Amazons who I'm really hoping to be there. Any ideas of anyone else still possible? Or have we had the whole lineup now?

First year but I'm very very excited to see everyone. Went to Reading last year so this will be quite the comparison!

Sold out according to their twitter and website.

Happy with the announcement of PABH and Wstr, also listening to Jamie Lenman last night and thinking he will be a must see once I've heard more so thinking they'll be plenty of clashes for me at Truck.

The 3 main stages - Truck stage, Market and The Nest are almost complete looking at last years lineup. Just 13 more acts to announce but I'd imagine they'll be fairly small acts.

I was also hoping for The Amazons so hopefully they will be a last minute addition but I don't think any main stage acts of note were announced after the 2nd announcement last year. There are quite a few other smaller stages to be announced which are the barn (an actual barn so gets hot and very smelly), a 4th stage which was taken over by BBC Introducing Oxford last year which included acts like Inheaven and Baby Strange, a tent called palm city which just played unknown DJs and a few bars with local acts playing in them too.

So much smaller that Reading so it's completely different.

the barn stage isn't the second biggest stage anymore. Last year it had a much smaller line up in terms of band size than the market stage, I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar thing this year.

Could anyone post a site map or tell me whether its possible to enter the festival from Steventon village at all?

The market stage was definitely bigger and held bigger bands last year, as did the nest. The barn had relatively unknown names playing last year.

and it's sold out.

Barn line-up within the next hour, according to their Twitter.

Who we thinking then? What type of acts are usually placed in the barn? (Never been to Truck before, don't know the layout)

Uh, I vaguely recall this being the case, but I'm not sure. Send em a Tweet!

@rawaudioinput Was there a shuttle or did you walk to Didcot that day of your own accord

"Train

Didcot Parkway Station is on the First Great Western Line and you can get there direct from Reading, London, Bristol, South Wales, Birmingham and The North. There are then connecting busses or taxis direct to the site.

Returning via Train

There will be railway engineering work between Didcot Parkway and Oxford affecting those travelling home towards Oxford, Birmingham and the North. Plan your journey at GWR.com/Oxford2017

Trains to South Wales, Bristol, Reading and London will not be affected."

 

The Truck site seems to suggest there are buses and taxis available to the site!

@Yellow_Fellow I walked to Didcot with all of my camping gear on my back; it took two and a half hours and several exhaustion-fuelled hallucinations

Dear All,

 

My First time at truck this year, I know that you can take booze into the arena with you, was wondering as to whether there were rules about taking food in???

there is no divide between the campsite and the arena so you are free to take what you wish between the two
