A Festival Lineup That Sparks Excitement

The lineup announcement for 2026 just raised the bar sky-high, with The Maccabees, CMAT, and Two Door Cinema Club topping the bill.

The Maccabees: Back and Better Than Ever

The Maccabees are no strangers to stirring up the crowd, and 2026 looks packed for them. After an incredible 2025 that included their first public gig in eight years, a headline spot at All Points East, and a captivating performance at Glastonbury Festival, they’re charging full steam ahead. Guitarist Felix White hinted at new music possibly on the horizon, telling William Hill Sports Book Of The Year Award earlier this year:

“Having those shows in next year means we’ve got enough time to think about it and see which way it’s going to go. If The Maccabees keep going beyond that point, we’d want to feel like a functioning band that are making music and are there for a reason.”

It's thrilling to imagine fresh tunes from a band that’s already defined a generation of indie rock fans.

CMAT’s Rise to Festival Headliner Fame

From alt-country darling to festival headliner, CMAT has made some serious waves. Her third album, Euro-Country, dropped in August and earned rave reviews, solidifying her place on the festival circuit. In 2026, she’ll bring her unique sound to Truck Festival alongside other major gigs like End Of The Road and LIDO Festival. CMAT’s ascent is a testament to her captivating live presence and genre-bending songwriting.

An Eclectic Mix of Icons and Rising Stars

Truck Festival wouldn’t be complete without the eclectic mix of legends and fresh faces. The Libertines, fresh off a lively festival summer and promoting their latest album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, will headline alongside The Wombats, who are no strangers to Hill Farm. Drummer Dan Haggis summed up their Truck Festival experience perfectly:

“We’ve played Truck a few times now and it never disappoints, it’s always a highlight of our summer and we’re so excited to be back headlining it again in 2026.”

Two Door Cinema Club and The Vaccines will mark 15 years since their debut albums, Tourist History and What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?, respectively, making their appearances feel like celebrations of indie milestones.
