UndergroundSound Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 who are people thinking? last year was definitely a scale increase. As a side note on the festival alone would people recommend 2000 trees or truck? I haven't been to either but going to one next year with the best lineup.

Was my third year last year and I can say with certainty it has gone from a local festival to an arena festival. Was impressed. Maybe it was the mud, but the whole festival felt utterly different to past years, however they still retained what made it good. the local congregation are the main suppliers of food, the various stalls of vintage gear was run excellently. They definitely did struggle a little with the increase, especially on the arrival day. queued for up to 2 n half hours. I have no doubt they will be better prepared this year however. It had a very good, strong line-up that catered towards their clientele and you'd hope they would come back this year even stronger. Saying that I really have absolutely no idea who is going to headline. Someone like Blossoms could definitely play. i think the booking team enjoy promoting bands who haven't headlined many festivals before but are on the up (e.g. CATB in 2016) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few names that spring to mind headliner wise are; The Coral, Stereophonics, Bastille. As for lower down the bill; Reverend &The Makers, Peace, The Sherlocks, Glass Animals, Magic Gang. I'd recommend Truck and plan to go again... but not this year sadly as it falls the same weekend as Benicassim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been to truck but after 2000 trees last year I cannot recomend it enough. I honestly couldn’t find an issue with it anywhere it’s great.

It's a bit weird everyone just peeing on hay.....and tbf it soon becomes clear that it's soaked through to the ground and not everyone hit the hay. It's nice and small though and decent to get a great headliner spot on main stage at anytime really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonybyates Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Only a week or so until lineup announcement ... i’m thinking: blossoms, Editors, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals, Black Honey, Reverend & The Makers, Frank Turner, Frank Carter, Django Django, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 The Thursday opening is verrry necessary and good to hear. Was a nice enough fest but I'd be surprised if the line up was strong enough to get me back to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut butter vibes Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Are Wolf Alice not a fair size bigger in the UK right now than all of the bands who played Truck last year? Or am I overestimating their appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCor Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Rumours are it’s a very strong line up. I’m hoping to see This Feeling host a stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
