Truck Festival placed eighth in UK festival league table

Truck Festival ranked eighth in a new 2026 festival league table compiled by outdoor experts GO Outdoors.

It is based on ticket prices, social media posts, Google searches, festival duration, and average rainfall in the area around the dates of the festival.

Oxford, Isle of Wight, and Reading, along with London and Newquay, helped give the south of England six out of the top 10 spots.

Truck Festival earned a score of 9.1 out of 10, with a ticket price of £224 for the three-day event.

Natalie Wolfenden, Author and hiking enthusiast at GO Outdoors, said: “No two festival days look the same.

“A one-day city festival needs a very different kit list from a four-night camping weekend, while outdoor and adventure-led events often require more specialist preparation.

“For any festival, comfortable footwear and waterproof jackets should be near the top of the list, especially with long days on your feet and unpredictable UK weather.

“For camping festivals, your tent, sleeping bag, roll mat or airbed, and camping chair will make the biggest difference to comfort across the weekend.”

In the top three, the Isle of Wight Festival claimed first place with a score of 9.96.

Download Festival came second with 9.87, and BST Hyde Park placed third at 9.80.
