About Truck Festival 2026
Truck Festival 2026 will take place in the idyllic Oxfordshire countryside from 23 to 26 July 2025.
Truck Festival is one of Oxfordshire’s most popular summer music festivals, returning each July to Hill Farm in Steventon for a long weekend of live music, culture and community spirit.
Founded in 1998, the independently run festival is known for its relaxed, village-fête atmosphere combined with a strong contemporary music line-up. Across multiple stages, Truck Festival showcases a mix of major UK headliners, established artists and emerging talent spanning indie, rock, alternative and electronic genres.
Beyond the music, festival-goers can expect a wide range of food and drink traders, family-friendly activities, arts and entertainment, and on-site camping, all set in the Oxfordshire countryside. With its emphasis on independence, creativity and community, Truck Festival has earned a reputation as a standout event on the UK festival calendar.
The festival takes place at Hill Farm, Steventon, Oxfordshire, OX13 6AB.
