Truck Festival solidified its reputation as the "gem of the UK festival summer" with a record-setting 2025 edition, drawing an unprecedented 25,000 fans to its beloved site. The weekend, dubbed Truck Festival’s "finest hour," delivered an unforgettable blockbuster of feel-good moments and an atmosphere unmatched anywhere else.
Headlining sets from indie titans Kasabian, Bloc Party, Nothing But Thieves, and Courteeners proved to be the weekend's high points. Bloc Party kicked off proceedings with a captivating performance of their seminal debut album 'Silent Alarm,' while Nothing But Thieves made history with their UK exclusive headline slot, showcasing a spectacular show complete with lasers and confetti. Kasabian's momentous Saturday night set, featuring anthems like 'Empire' and 'Fire,' is already being hailed as one of the festival's greatest. The Courteeners closed out the weekend with an electrifying performance, culminating in a celebratory 'Not Nineteen Forever' and a dazzling firework display.
Beyond the headliners, the festival was a vibrant showcase of the global guitar scene. Blossoms delivered an effortlessly smooth set, The Last Dinner Party proved their burgeoning headline potential, and Wunderhorse drew one of the largest non-headliner crowds in Truck history. Pop superstar CMAT brought feel-good hooks to the Main Stage, leaving smiles all around. Indie royalty Franz Ferdinand and Maximo Park had crowds bouncing, while The Reytons, Sports Team, Fat Dog, and more ignited moshpits and frenzies.
True to its spirit, Truck Festival also championed emerging talent, with electrifying performances from Luvcat, bby, and Courting, ensuring fans left with a fresh playlist of future stars. The unique "Truck spirit" permeated the site, featuring singalongs with Natasha Bedingfield and Scouting For Girls, and the joyous spectacle of "Barrioke" with Shaun Williamson.
Festival Manager Lily Brimble and Head of Marketing Sam Harris expressed their gratitude, thanking the "Truckers" for embodying the festival's spirit and making 2025 "truly unforgettable."
