Saturday arrived at Truck Festival with rain, but the wet weather didn’t dampen spirits. Festival-goers donned their wellies and embraced the muddy conditions, ready for another day of incredible music.

Circa Waves kicked off the day on the Main Stage, getting the crowd moving with their singalong hits.

Porij was new for us and something we're definitely catch again.

Maisie Peters followed, delivering a heartfelt set that included tracks like John Hughes Movie, Psycho, and You Signed Up For This. Her interaction with the crowd and storytelling added a personal touch to her performance.

DMA’S brought their anthemic sound to the Main Stage, delivering a set packed with hits like Delete, Lay Down, and Silver. Their cover of Cher’s Believe was a surprise highlight, and the crowd’s energy during Everybody’s Saying Thursday’s The Weekend was electric. For many, this was the set of the weekend.

Saturday’s headliners, alt-J, delivered a stunning show on the Truck Stage. Opening with Every Other Freckle and The Actor, their unique sound and captivating visuals mesmerized the audience. Tracks like In Cold Blood, Left Hand Free, and Breezeblocks provided a perfect finale to the day, leaving the crowd in awe.

Truck regulars like The Oxford Symphony Orchestra, Mr Motivator, and Barrioke also made appearances throughout the weekend, adding to the festival’s charm. The Feel Good Food Hall, where all profits go to charity, was another highlight, showcasing Truck’s commitment to giving back.
