The Maccabees, Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, CMAT and The Libertines will all headline this year’s festival with Primal Scream, Rizzle Kicks & English Teacher also on the bill.
Truck Festival has announced its first wave of acts heading to Hill Farm next year. The festival, based in Oxfordshire, is quickly becoming a rite of passage for many seasoned festival goers as well as first timers.
For 2026 Truck Festival will see five headliners play, including The Maccabees who will be making their Truck Festival debut after reuniting this year. With more 2000’s indie bangers coming from the The Libertines, who will headline the Sunday, and Two Door Cinema Club, who are set to perform ‘Tourist History’ in full.
CMAT is also set to make her Truck Festival headline debut on the Thursday bringing her Very Sexy CMAT Band to Hill Farm, following the release of her latest album ‘EURO-COUNTRY‘ and rip-roaring sets across the country, including Wide Awake Festival and last year’s Truck Festival.
Also on the bill are The Vaccines, celebrating 15 years of ‘What Did You Expect From The Vaccines’, Primal Scream, Mercury Prize winners English Teacher and Rizzle Kicks, who join as special guests.
The bill features other artists on the precipice of a fierce upward trajectory with Westside Cowboy almost certainly set to play alt-indie bangers that will become the soundtrack to the summer. Post-punk jump up will also come from Adult DVD with Willie J Healey and Good Health Good Wealth also set to play. Another highlight will be The Cribs, who are set to release their latest album ‘Selling A Vibe’ in January, and are also set to play the festival.
Truck Festival will take place on 23rd – 26th July 2026 at Hill Farm, Oxfordshire.
