Must See Acts At Truck Festival 2024
Discover the Unmissable Acts Set to Light Up Truck Festival 2024.
The lineup stays consistently great with Truck Festival, with some big names bound to have the crowds of Truck Festival in their hands. Headliners like The Streets are sure to close the festival on an almighty high, and Wet Leg will surely have had screaming at their demand. Festivals are a great chance to stumble upon a stage and fall in love with a new act over the course of a half an hour set. It’s too easy to get caught up in the festivities of a music festival and missing acts left right and centre. And that’s OK, you can’t watch everything. But if you want to get the most out of your weekend down at Truck Festival, here are some acts you don’t want to miss as they brave their respective stages.
Folly Group
The quintet from London are back off a US tour, sure to be wielding their playful musicianship to cater to a crowd ready for dancing. Expect infectious percussion, chanting, and to leave the tent sweaty and disoriented as you immerse yourself in the post punk sonics of this band.
Lime Garden
Releasing their debut album earlier this year, Lime Garden are a sure new favourite you don’t want to miss. Previously supporting the likes of Idles, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Big Moon, the Brighton based band have charmed and delighted audiences across the country with their eclectic pop sounds and catchy lyricism.
Night bus
Fans of Depeche mode, Bauhaus and dark synth music, Night bus will appease your appetite with broody bass lines and a hypnotic vocal performance. A melancholia you can move to is the best way to describe the band’s sound, so be sure to check them out yourselves and be taken into their world.
Been Stellar
New York comes to Oxfordshire in the shape of the quintet of Been Stellar, hot off their debut record and Strokes comparisons. It’s not easy to be constantly hyped up to the greats of the New York scene, but the band certainly do have a way of cementing themselves as greats on their own record.
NewDad
People have a lot to say about how great the music coming out of Ireland is when it’s been like this for decades. New Dad carry on the baton of great Irish musicians with their take on shoegaze, supported by the wistful vocals of Julie Dawson, evocative guitars and overall impressive musicianship.
English Teacher
It’s a good year to be a member of English Teacher. An expansive debut that made its way onto the UK charts, a sold-out Brixton show. If that’s not enough to sell you, a nod from the likes of Jools Holland might guide you further towards The Nest as the band are bound to live up to the rave reviews and acclaim they’ve received.
Mary in the junkyard
With 5 singles under the belt, they have established themselves as an act to watch. Their weepy guitar rock that is ethereal and heavy hitting in the same breath makes them a live act you don’t want to miss engaging with.
Heartworms
Dark, dressed in some type of militant uniform, screaming into the mic as the song descends into chaos. This is just a brief glimpse of Heartworms’ live performance, where Jojo Orme transforms into this commanding presence that saunters around the stage, demanding to be watched and listened to.
Ebbb
There’s very little information about this band. I tried to catch them as openers for Folly Group during their London headline show and when I found out I missed them, tried to see what I could find on socials. Nothing. I checked the Truck Festival website to see if they were able to provide more information upon discovering that they’d be performing here too. Nothing. A must-see act in a sense of them being shrouded in mystery and I have to see them to only partially uncover it…
