Marking a UK Festival Exclusive performance for 2025, Nothing But Thieves take the step to headline level when they headline their first UK festival at Truck Festival 2025. Combining soaring vocals, gut-punching darkness and bulldozer guitar hooks - Nothing But Thieves have become a true phenomenon as one of British music’s biggest breakthrough success stories of the past decade.

In what will be the final show of their ‘Dead Club City’ World Tour, Nothing But Thieves ascend to festival headline status for a historic night only found at Truck 2025.
Indie icons. One of the most influential bands of their generation. Sell-out headline shows and storming new moments at every turn. It can only be Bloc Party, who make their long-awaited Truck Festival debut headlining the Thursday night to kickstart Truck 2025 in emphatic fashion. With a career that has always seen them push against boundaries and expectations, their catalogue of undeniable bangers feels ready-made to turn Truck into their own personal playground. With a very special set performing their revered debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ in full alongside their greatest hits (including the likes of ‘Flux’, ‘Mercury’, ‘Hunting For Witches’ and more) - Bloc Party finally takes to the Truck stage for a night that will live long in the memory.
Truck’s 2025 headliners lead a jam-packed lineup that combines unforgettable indie legends, THE bands who are defining the here and now and the buzzy favourites already carving a name for themselves as festival fans’ next favourite artist. No band has had a bigger breakthrough 2024 than The Last Dinner Party. Setting the world of music alight with their stunning debut album ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’, they sit as a band defining an entire generation with the sort of Main Stage show that’s ready to take over the globe.

Strutting into their most glorious era to date with latest album ‘Gary’, they’ve emerged as one of the UK’s most inventive and thrilling bands - with the sort of catalogue born for festival stages. Equally as inventive as a pioneering band of UK indie history is Franz Ferdinand, whose twisted approach on art-rock has seen them beloved and celebrated across the globe.
