Exclusive: Truck Festival 2006 line-up announced
crablin by Colin Roberts April 25th, 2006

We're awfully pleased to announce the first raft of bands for this year's Truck Festival

As official media partners and programme-makers for this year's Truck Festival, we're insanely happy to be the first to give you the lowdown on the initial raft of bands.

This year also sees the involvement of our friends at BBC 6music, another fantastic string to Truck's bow as the best alt. radio station in the country. We'll be getting down and dirty with them and between us will have the whole festival covered in our own unique styles.

Truck Festival tickets have well-and-truly sold out now, meaning that the not-for-profit festival can benefit more charities than ever, this year donating to a whopping forty-seven.

So, without further ado, please find the first bands to be announced for Truck Festival 2006. Also be reminded that there is more to come, including a rather special headliner for Saturday night...

65daysofstatic, Alva, Anat Ben David, Buck 65, Chicks On Speed, Chris McMath, Chris T-T, Colony, Emmy The Great, Fell City Girl, Foals, ¡Forward, Russia!, Gaptooth, Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly, Goldrush (TBC), Harlette, Hundred Reasons, Jakoyak, Jetplane Landing, Katchafire, KTB, Manic Cough, Morrison Steam Fayre, My Mayo Mai, Mystery Jets, nervous test_pilot, Ninja Banjo Handjob, Persil, Piney Gir's Country Roadshow, Rachael Dadd, Rebecca Mosley, Regina Spektor, Seth Lakeman, Shimura Curves, Skindred, Sow, Suitable Case For Treatment, The Black Madonnas, The Dusty Sound System, The Epstein, The Lodge, The Madeleines, The Neutrinos, The Organ, The Research, The September Girls, The Schla La Las, The Sound Movement, The Tyde, The Walkoff, The Young Knives, Thomas Truax, Tim Victor, Toob, Tough Love, Total Science, Trademark, Xmas Lights, Youthmovies

A number of artists this year are doing something special too. Piney Gir has her country roadshow and just you wait until you see what 65daysofstatic and Youthmovies get up to...
