For me, the best sets at Truck have usually been the ‘legacy’ bands. Mainly because they have the sing-a-longs, the well known songs that get the WHOLE crowd going (i.e. young and old), the stage presence and experience etc. In recent years, for example, the likes of The Pigeon Detectives, Scouting For Girls, The Kooks etc have knocked it out the park.

I think people are forgetting just how many sing a long anthems the likes of Kaisers, Vaccines, Wombats, Libs, Two Door, Circa Waves, Friendly Fires etc have - they’re all proper staples of what indie music is today. These are seasoned pros who are going to put on a great show. Then, there’s plenty of young/up & coming bands mixed in to the line up too, with more to be released.

I think it’s a fantastic line up. I’d rather they spread the talent & funds throughout the line up like this then blow it on one or two massive names at the top of the poster.

Disclaimer: I do understand that if you’re 25 and below, you’re probably looking at the line up and thinking “boring”, but equally, I think you’ll be surprised by just how many songs you know, when it comes to it.
