Editors last played Truck in 2005, packing out the festival's Barn - a cowshed which doubles as a venue for the three days of the event. They will also play on the Sunday.

He will be joined by Big Beat Manifesto, Rhythm of The 90s, Massaoke, Old Dirty Brasstards, Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, Horn Division, The Oxford Commas and Blue Rinse DJs.

Oxfordshire talent includes Gaz Coombes, Kanadia, Little Brother Eli, Switch DJs, Low Island, I Cried Wolf, Leader and Oxford Symphony Orchestra.

Festival Organiser Matt Harrap said: “We’re incredibly excited to finally share our second wave of artists for Truck Festival 2018.

"Indie cult heroes Courteeners will help close out the weekend which will no doubt result in the most raucous crowd Truck Festival has ever experienced.

"I can’t wait for Editors to play the Sunday sunset slot as we've been trying to get them to return for years since I witnessed them play my favourite set of 2005 in The Barn.

"Drenge will give the crowd everything, making as much noise as possible as they make their Truck debut this year, closing the Market Stage on Saturday night. It's a must see for me.

"But it’s not all about the main stages, and we are glad to welcome back The Rockin' Chair for the second year. With the likes of live mass karaoke band Massaoke, Rhythm of the 90s and the Oxford Commas, it’s guaranteed to be the heart of the party."

He added: "We still have plenty of talent and stages to announce over the next couple of months, including Truck staple The Barn.

"With tickets flying, we really recommend not hanging around!“
