Truck is obviously now 80% twinned with essentially Tramlines & Victorious, and so the chance of heavy acts being booked across these fests is now very low.

Disagree, plenty of heavyish bands played last year. Broco would fit in well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 What do we think of the chances of Noel Gallagher? He is doing Pennfest Fri 21st July and South Facing Festival Crystal Palace on Friday 28th July. So we know he is active and playing festivals around Truck, so surely there is a big chance of him turning up at some other festivals at that time of year. If not Truck then maybe Y Knot, Tramlines or Victorious. It seems very unlikely that he will not pop up at least one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 With Rex Orange County seemingly in the clear could help solve the headliner issue for truck, y not etc? Not sure how they’d feel about booking him in such a prominent slot after whats happened but he is the right size for it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to how that's theoretically progressed given Don Broco and You Me At Six were both there in 2019, and both had a decent array of riffs. Plus they were booking Royal Blood as a 2021 headliner, even if that iteration was binned, and Foals do have a few big heavier rock songs in their arsenal so have that sort of influence in parts. I think it's possible, if perhaps more a whisper of a presence than a full-on one. Like maybe 2/3/4 at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmaz Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 i know this might be a bit out there as they're an electronic band but underworld are playing on the 20th and 21st of july in the uk near truck fests location, think they would be a wicked booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Underworld would be a weak headliner / a strong sub which both seem unlikely to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well known dance pioneer but somewhat kinda underground. Chase and Status or like is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did Victorious last year - Saturday was one of the best days I've had at a festival. Sunday however was horrific. Teens off their t*ts and loads of mainstream crap.
