As recently reported, Truck festival has dodged an unfortunate end and will this year be run by new organisers Y Not. Taking place on 20 and 21 July 2012 at the tried and trusted location of Hill Farm, Steventon, this year’s Truck will be its fifteen anniversary, and the organisers are promising a ‘Back To Basics’ approach to, as they say, “return to all that was great about the event”.

This will apparently see a return to the old-style layout (after the different one used last year), as well as the rebirth of the much-loved Barn Stage, which routinely played host in the past to fine selections of bands at the noisier/rockier end of things.

Cheaper-price Early Bird tickets will go on sale at 9.00 am on 15 February – keep your eye on the Truck website. These special tickets, priced at £59 for the whole weekend, once gone, will make way for regular-price tickets at £69. The organisers have guaranteed that after this there will be no further discount tickets.
