Maps, These New Puritans and Lovvers for Oxford Festival

Maps, These New Puritans and Lovvers are amongst the first acts to be confirmed for this year’s Truck Festival.

The bash will be held at Hill Farm, Steventon, South Oxfordshire on July 19-20.

Other bands set for the event include Camera Obscura, Robots In Disguise, Noah and the Whale, and Emmy The Great. The festival’s headliners are yet to be confirmed.

The event returns after severe flooding forced last year’s July bash to be postponed until September.
