Truck Festival have announced that space rock band Spiritualized will be joining The Horrors as festival headliners.
Also making a reappearance at the festival are The Joy Formidable, who have appeared on Letterman and the Twilight soundtrack since they last appeared at Truck.
Attendees can also expect to see Ash, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, Rolo Tomassi, We Are The Ocean, Tall Ships and Frankie & The Heartstrings - as well as many more.
Spiritualized are a slightly odd booking, considering that frontman Jason Pierce launched an attack on festival culture just last year.
Speaking to Drowned in Sound, Pierce said, "Festivals are the death of [art]. And they’ve gotten straighter as the years have gone on too. They’re less about drugs and rock and roll now. They’re more about community."

He also implied that festivals provide bands with an inflated sense of self worth, continuing, "Bands still soak up the glory like they're worth this many people. You get those awful singalongs and a band's ego kicks in when the crowd sings their words back.
"It’s as if they’re standing on stage thinking ‘This is what we’re worth’ and really the audience would sing 'We’ll Meet Again' if it was playing."
