Truck Festival adds wave of new artists, comedy, and late-night chaos for 2026

Truck Festival has revealed another major wave of artists, comedy names and late-night programming for its 2026 edition, set to take place 23–26 July at Hill Farm in Oxfordshire — with over 90% of tickets already sold.

The latest announcement adds a fresh mix of rising indie acts, electronic heavyweights and the kind of wonderfully ridiculous entertainment that has helped Truck earn its reputation as “your favourite artists’ favourite festival.”

New music additions include Divorce, Picture Parlour, Arkayla, GANS, Finn Forster, My First Time, Tom A. Smith, Punchbag, Creeping Jean, Lizzie Esau and The Slates, joining an already stacked lineup packed with indie favourites and breakthrough names.

They’ll appear alongside previously announced headliners The Maccabees, Two Door Cinema Club, CMAT, The Libertines and The Wombats, plus huge names including Primal Scream, Kaiser Chiefs, The Vaccines, English Teacher, Rizzle Kicks, Everything Everything, Circa Waves, Friendly Fires, The Cribs and The Royston Club.

Truck’s late-night energy is also getting a boost thanks to The Off Licence stage, curated by Oxford club institution Switch. Electronic highlights include Sigma, Morgan Seatree and Oppidan, alongside a lineup of DJs set to keep the party going well after the bands have finished.

But Truck has always been about more than just the music. The festival’s famously chaotic entertainment programme returns with everything from karaoke singalongs to absurd stage takeovers, in a particularly nostalgic moment, Barrioke featuring Shaun Williamson will return to Truck for the final time ever, bringing his beloved karaoke party back to Hill Farm for one last round of crowd-led singalongs.

Elsewhere across the weekend, festival-goers can dive into the offbeat fun of The Ogretones, Tragedy, Shaunia Twain, Hip Hop Karaoke and Pub Antics hosted by Terry Vegas, all adding to the uniquely playful spirit Truck has built over the years.

The festival’s comedy tent is also back with a huge lineup of stand-ups including Reginald D Hunter, Ivo Graham, Emmanuel Sonubi, John Kearns, Glenn Moore and Sam Nicoresti, alongside a wave of rising UK comedians ready to bring daytime laughs between sets.

Now firmly established as one of the UK’s most loved independent festivals, Truck has built its reputation on big indie singalongs, breakthrough artists and a welcoming village atmosphere where fans gather for a weekend of music, mischief and memorable moments.

With tickets already more than 90% sold out, the final remaining passes for Truck Festival 2026 are available now via the festival’s official website.
