Truck Festival Adds New Artists, Comedy And Late Night DJs To Expanding 2026 Lineup

Truck Festival has unveiled another wave of artists and entertainment for its 2026 edition, including the final ever appearance of Barrioke featuring Shaun Williamson, adding fresh names to an already stacked lineup for the Oxfordshire favourite.

Set to return to Hill Farm from 23rd–26th July 2026, the much-loved indie festival continues to build momentum with new additions spanning rising bands, late-night electronic acts, comedy, and the offbeat entertainment that has long defined Truck’s atmosphere.

Among the newly announced artists are Divorce, Picture Parlour, Sigma, Morgan Seatree, Oppidan, Arkayla, Finn Forster, My First Time, Tom A. Smith, Punchbag, Creeping Jean, Lizzie Esau and The Slates, bringing another wave of emerging talent and established favourites to the Oxfordshire fields this summer.

The additions join a lineup already boasting major names including The Maccabees, Two Door Cinema Club, CMAT, The Libertines and The Wombats, alongside indie favourites The Vaccines, Kaiser Chiefs, Primal Scream, Friendly Fires, Circa Waves, Everything Everything and The Cribs. A new generation of artists such as English Teacher, The Royston Club, Florence Road, The K’s, Westside Cowboy and Radio Free Alice further reinforces Truck’s reputation as a festival where established acts and rising bands share the same bill.

Beyond the music, Truck has always thrived on its slightly chaotic charm, and 2026 looks set to continue that tradition. One of the weekend’s standout moments will be the final appearance of Barrioke featuring Shaun Williamson, a long-running Truck staple that has seen crowds gather to belt out karaoke classics alongside the former EastEnders star. After years of unforgettable singalong moments, including the now-iconic appearance with Sam Fender, Barrioke will take its final bow at Hill Farm this summer.

Elsewhere, the festival’s playful spirit runs throughout the programme with appearances from The Ogretones, Tragedy, Shaunia Twain and Pub Antics hosted by Terry Vega, ensuring there’s plenty of entertainment between the live sets.

Truck’s comedy stage also returns with a packed lineup featuring Reginald D Hunter, Ivo Graham, Emmanuel Sonubi, John Kearns, Tom Stade, Glenn Moore and Sam Nicoresti, alongside a host of rising names from across the UK comedy circuit. The daytime comedy shows have become a firm favourite with festival-goers, offering a welcome pause from the music while keeping the weekend’s energy high.

As night falls, Truck’s late-night programme will once again keep the party moving. Local club institution Switch returns with its popular after-hours takeover, bringing electronic artists including Morgan Seatree, Sigma, Slipmatt, Ellie Scougall, Jay Soleil, Dylan James and Shem to soundtrack the festival into the early hours.

With over 90% of tickets already sold, Truck Festival 2026 is edging closer to a full sell-out. Blending a carefully curated music lineup with comedy, DJs and its signature village-like atmosphere, the event continues to cement its place as one of the UK’s most loved independent festivals.

The final tickets for Truck Festival 2026 are available now, and if the lineup keeps growing like this, they won’t last long.
