Truck Festival Tickets For Concert 2010

Truck Festival is an annual independent music festival in Oxfordshire, England. It was started in 1998 by the Bennett family (including the brothers Robin and Joe of the band Goldrush), who decided that mainstream festivals such as Glastonbury had become too commercial and predictable. It is held in July at Hill Farm in Steventon, near Abingdon.The festival also gave birth to the Truck Records label in 1999.The main stage is constructed from three large flatbed trucks, and a common misperception is that this is where the name of the festival comes from.

Truck has grown somewhat since its inception, but with an annual attendance of around 5,000 it is for fans is that it can be viewed as a microcosm of these larger festivals, with a similar layout and facilities but on a more manageable scale. The festival prides itself on its family atmosphere, with all of the site services being provided by local groups: the food stall is run by the local Rotary Club, and ice cream is sold by the local vicar. All profits from the festival go to charity.
