Truck Festival has revealed the first acts for its 2026 line-up.

The four-date family-friendly event will return to Hill Farm in Oxfordshire in July for its largest edition to date.

Leading the first wave of artists is Thursday headliner CMAT, followed by The Maccabees on Friday, Two Door Cinema Club — performing 'Tourist History' in full for its 15th anniversary plus a greatest hits set — on Saturday, and The Wombats and The Libertines, who co-headline on Sunday.

Other acts confirmed for the bill include The Vaccines — celebrating 15 years of 'What Did You Expect From The Vaccines' — Kaiser Chiefs, Primal Scream, English Teacher, The Royston Club, Rizzle Kicks, The K's, KEO, Florence Road, Circa Waves, The Cribs, Everything Everything and Getdown Services. Head Of Marketing John Dell said:

"We’re absolutely buzzing to announce the first wave of names for Truck 2026 after such an incredible demand already for tickets, bringing together some legends who’ve been responsible for Truck memories over the years as well as standout names we’ve been wanting to have at our warped party for years.

"To welcome a reformed The Maccabees to Truck is a real bucket list moment for us and to have CMAT back to claim her rightful spot as a UK festival headliner after 2025’s unforgettable set is going to be a really special occasion that shows the journey Truck has been on with countless artists.

"Every year when curating the festival’s lineup, we have the Truck faithful firmly in our mind - and with so many heavyweight names who’ve blazed a trail in our scene heading to Hill Farm in 2026 we’re more assured than ever that we have the best indie summer playlist going.

"Next year’s festival is going to be an all-timer and we’ve got a whole load more surprises and fun to announce, but until then - lets get excited. We’ll see you there!"
