Keep on truckin' at Truck Festival

Supported by locals and friendly to families, Oxford’s original independent music festival has remained small partly due to the size restrictions of Hill Farm. Belying its small stature, it features several unique settings for gigs.

Three flatbed trucks make up the main stage (incidentally this isn’t the origin of the festival’s name), and another of the six stages is a cow shed with a distinct farmyard vibe. All of the venues take on double lives as they switch between the rock and folk acts of earlier hours to electronic music later on.    

Truck Festival takes place 21-23 July, and this year’s headliners include The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand and The Vaccines.
