Truck Festival announces epic 2023 lineup with headliners Royal Blood and Alt-J
Following a mammoth 25th anniversary celebration in 2022, Truck Festival have unveiled the first names confirmed to appear on the line-up for its 2023 edition.
Across the penultimate weekend in July Truck Festival will welcome four headliners that span the breadth of the indie, rock and alternative spheres, from effervescent indie pop to primal rock ‘n’ roll with some folk-inflected alt rock thrown in.
Alongside stalwarts of the aforementioned genres, the festival have also announced a slew of names that include some of the most celebrated and beloved faces in modern alternative music, as well as the cream of the crop when it comes to the grassroots music scene and emerging acts - staying true to Truck’s ethos of supporting upcoming talent to help cultivate a sustainable and diverse festival landscape.
Making for one of the most anticipated returns of the year, Royal Blood will be marking the occasion with a headline performance at Truck Festival 2023 with anthems including Figure It Out, Out Of The Black and Little Monster, taken from the breakthrough self-titled debut album.

Known as a ‘festival band’, the esteemed Northern Irish musicians will be sure to bring a set filled with indie bangers from those initial early years singles such as Undercover Martyn, Something Good Can Work and What You Know.
On their eagerly awaited 2023 headline set on Truck’s Main Stage, Two Door Cinema Club said: "We first played Truck back in 2009 where we got led astray by Ash and then one of us (who shall not be named) threw up in a graveyard.
"Our next appearance was a few years ago to headline and it was amazing to see how much the festival had grown.
"We have such fond memories of both times and we’re excited to see what our third appearance has in store."
