BLONDIES' ROUND-UP: TRUCK FESTIVAL (26/07/2024-28/07/2024)

Ready for festival season? Here is your one-stop hub for the most exciting lineups on offer this Summer. Truck Festival is calling and you already know we are picking up. One of our first festival experiences was Truck 2022 and it was unforgettable. For a major festival, it still feels intimate and friendly. Our tent may have been swept away in the wind, but that sums up our feelings about the whole experience - blown away!

Here are some stellar acts to get you amped-up!

---

Wet Leg are coming out of their… Retirement? We won’t even question it after seeing them take their self-titled, number one debut album on tour with Harry Styles. They won Best New Artist and Best British Group at the 2023 BRIT Awards and were even shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize. Not to mention their two Grammys! Their unique sound is well deserving of their international critical acclaim and headline slot at Truck Festival - you won’t see another set like this.

Let's hear it for Jamie T! Get yourself into the mosh pit immediately! Whether you want the nostalgia of indie hits like ‘Zombie’, ‘Sticks ‘N’ Stones’ and ‘Shiela’, or newer tunes from his latest album ‘The Theory Of Whatever’ (2022), we know this set is going to bring together the Truck Festival ground of all different generations - Eliz even previously went to see Jamie with her dad.

It’s no secret that we love a bit of Holly Humberstone over here at Blonde Vibrations HQ. The genre-bending, midlands-born singer consistently aces every set she does from her Sunday headline set at Barn on the Farm to rocking the main stage at Reading & Leeds last year. Holly has the ability to take you from tearing up at heartbreaking songs like ‘London is Lonely’ to bopping with your friends to ‘Scarlett’. One song to look out for is ‘Antichrist’ from her debut album ‘Paint My Bedroom Black’ released last year, both her live and studio renditions hit like no other.

The Kooks - a Truck Festival classic. We saw them smash the main stage in 2022 and cannot wait to see them reunited with the Truck crowd. Their set will be jam-packed with your favourite indie classics, I mean who doesn’t love a bit of ‘Inside In / Inside Out’?

Katie Gregson Macleod - We are loving Katie’s track ‘TV Show’ from her latest EP ‘Big Red’, released October last year. Blonde Vibrations’ top tip - don’t forget to wear waterproof mascara to this set!

The Royston Club absolutely compliment the Truck Festival lineup last year. We caught one of their festival sets last year and can guarantee there will be some shaking hips in that crowd (apologies for the pun on their debut album ‘Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars’ released last year…)

Lexie Carroll- Please take the time to look through Lexie Carroll’s discography and track artwork, and you’ll be amazed at the beauty. This beauty is absolutely synonymous to her musical style and talent. ‘growing pains’ is a personal favourite and we believe this will be a highlight of the whole weekend.
