  1. TRUCK 2019

    in other UK festivals

    Posted

    First time at Truck and had a great time. Went with a group of friends, some go every year and some had never been to a festival before! Camping wise it was very spacious, tonnes of room all around us as well. Thought the food was reasonably priced with some decent variety but the alcohol was horrifically expensive. Security took cans off my friends when they arrived because between the 4 of them they were "2 cans over" which seems completely ridiculous.

    Music wise thought the sound on the main stage was a bit iffy, but sounded much better on the Sunday and for the headliners. Leaving was a complete nightmare though, is it like that every year?

    Would definitely go back next year, considering the price of tickets and lineup it's a fantastic festival.

    Just a little heads up, I wouldn't commit to next year just yet. At least see how the line up shapes up. I know after your first weekend fest you can't wait to go back but don't end up getting stuck going to a festival with a pretty meh lineup (especially as there are so many other weekend fests that will all raise their game next year due to no glasto)

    Thanks for the advise! Some of the people next to us literally only went to the arena for Eminem and LG. Sounds nuts, but I'd be happy spending half the day at the camp.

    First weekend festival I've been to and it was the best weekend of my life. We found a cracking spot in yellow next to "Hello friends, happy Reading" guy (those in the know loved him.)

    Friday had been the day I was most looking forward to. I was surprised at first The Amazons were put on such a small stage, and the crowd was huge for them. Circa Waves just get better everytime I see them, they're incredible live and again didn't dissapoint. As much as I love Two Door I was slightly dissapointed with their set list,  I just wish they'd play more of their older stuff. Kasabian were Kasabian, Serge is a genius.

    Saturday ended up being the best day of the weekend, spent near enough the entire day out in the arena and managed to see 14 different acts. Wolf Alice and their secret set were great, and they had a decent crowd. Love Get Inuit but was surprised they were on the R1 Dance stage, and even more surprised there was about 40/50 people watching when Sigrid was on after. Still, they were one of the highlights of the weekend. Grouplove create so much energy it's hard to not be impressed with them. Everything Everything were class, and Glass Animals gave me the greatest hour of my life. Props to the people climbing the sound towers during Eminem, must've had a good view...

    Highlights on Sunday included Fickle Friends who are improving with every gig they play. I don't think Nat can keep calling them "A little pop group from Brighton" for much longer! The Sherlocks had a cracking crowd. Was slightly dissapointed with Blossoms because I just didn't think they sounded all that great, and everyone around me was there for LG, which was a shame. And Muse closing the weekend were incredible, everything in their set was great.

    Will 100% be returning next year, the weather obviously helped make it a good weekend, but I had an absolute ball.
