I think they just posted them out too late (if at all), weird one!

That sounds promising! I've actually got that on my shelf to read at some point!

Think we'll be getting Bloc Party and Courteeners for sure, DMAs probably on there too, they had Blossoms last year on the Thursday but they seem to be about too

Not sure Royal Blood will be there, in Italy with Muse on the 18th and 22nd July, not sure they'll come back for the Friday (21st) or Sunday (23rd)

Wow feels like they're always in or around it! Will give me an excuse to leave early if there's nothing else on!

Enter Shikari headlining Slam Dunk rules them out of this

False alarm they're still playing, must only be doing some of the tour

Would like Bloc Party from that

And so it begins...4 months of bands dropping out as per tradition haha

Assume they've done it this year so the 'leaks' appear on the morning of the announcement, not seen anything on Twitter

Sad seeing that it's gunna be way better than what we get!

Gunna go with some predictions: Thursday: The Wombats Friday: Two Door Cinema Club Saturday: Jamie T & The Vaccines Sunday: Courteeners or Paolo Nutini (basically the Community Festival line up haha) Can see some of DMAs, Circa Waves, Frank Turner, The Lathums, Katy B, Beabadoobee and The Amazons turning up

Standon Calling being not far away and on the same weekend I wonder if some of them will come across! Hoping for Bloc Party and Bob Vylan! Wonder if we'll get Katy B too, Anastacia would be great haha

Man this is gunna be a tough one, loads of bands at the end of the day by the looks of it for me! There's even a few I'd happily go see not covered but think I'm not gunna get many gaps this year, good stuff

I think them and The Vaccines might be quite good shouts for that Thursday slot

Hoping they've nabbed Sleep Token

Forgot about the fortune cookie year! Just remembered the potatoes and leeks! Haven't seen anything, I assume it'll take them a little bit to get whatever they're planning together and we'll suddenly get a load of names on Twitter

Wonder what veg it'll be! Didn't get there in time (again) Really starting to think Fontaines will be there, Thursday headline or maybe more?

He's playing Reading so I doubt it

12:15-13:00 - YMAS (guest opener) 13:00-13:30 - Baby Queen (scraping the barrel) 13:30-14:00 - Inhaler (scraping the barrel) 14:00-15:00 - Drinks Break 15:00-15:45 - Don Broco 15:45-16:30 - Nothing But Thieves 16:30-20:00 - Drinks Break 20:00-21:30 - Foals 21:30-23:00 - The Killers Aka there's not enough there for me at all so far even pulling together 3 days

Gone through and taken out anyone already announced for Download & Slam Dunk next year, theoretically all the remaining could play at Download? Buzzing for Kings of Leon 😆

Agreed I think Pulp would have had the Truck announcement come earlier if it was them, can't see The Prodigy (but would be great!)

Unfortunately no idea but a lot of the bands there seem to play most years; Sundara Karma, Jaws, Cassia, The Big Moon, Vistas etc all seem to turn up most years, along with some others like Sports Team and Crawlers probably being rebooked. The Oxford Symphony Orchestra & Mr Motivator will be back too I'd assume. Think nowadays you get one legacy dance-ish act like Kelis was this year and one more mainstream pop act like Sigrid, guess you switch those out for anyone who could be applicable; looking around other festival announcements there's Anastacia, Katy B and Mel C all playing Standon Calling the same weekend; Anne Marie, Becky Hill and Gabrielle seem to be around next summer too so one or two of them could turn up? In The Nest (the more rockish stage) I can see bands like Nova Twins and Bob Vylan being high up there next year Got a feeling Declan McKenna will get a high slot, seems to be at Tramlines the same weekend so could come along for the Saturday or Sunday. Headliners are really hard to call this year; Pulp, George Ezra, Courteeners, Paolo Nutini, Bloc Party, The Wombats, The Vaccines are all about that weekend I think. They usually pull one out of the hat though Truck so no idea who else could be in line! Bastille? Royal Blood? Two Door Cinema Club? The list goes on!

Sorry yes meant headliners, the undercard at Truck sorta books itself!

So Truck have announced no line up until "early next year", fits in with a lot of similar sized/owned festivals, can only assume they're having trouble booking people so not too excited for the line up!
