Truck Festival

Truck Festival Festival

When: July 19-20

Where: Hill Farm, Steventon, Oxfordshire

What: Ok, most of the stage venues have an air of cow shit about them (six of them are in barns and it's set on a working farm after all) but Truck (which apparently gets its name from the soundtrack to the film Convoy; 'Ten Trucking Greats') is actually a family-sized Glastonbury. Each stage is made up of flatbed trucks, all playing music from emo to drum and bass, as well as tents with karaoke and the local vicar selling ice-cream. Mystery Jets, ¡Forward Russia! and Jack Penate have all headlined in previous years.

Tickets: £60 for the weekend with camping on Saturday & Sunday. Camping is available for Friday night by arrangement if you're travelling from a long distance. Children under 11 are free of charge. Children 11 & over must pay full price.
