What's that? That distant rumble... coming nearer? Truck Festival is as good as on our doorstep, and the Oxfordshire two-dayer - supported by DiS no less - has just announced details of another headliner.
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly is to headline the festival's second (Sunday) night, with a special guest in tow. Said person: Walter Schreifels, Rivals Schools frontman. Together the pair will perform as Blimey & The Governors. Sold.
Let's just hope Get Cape's Sam Duckworth doesn't take his last single review too personally, or else DiS is leaving this year's Truck with a black eye.
Also just in: a limited number of day tickets, 100 per day, for the weekend are available as of now; click here if you're only up for half a Truck this year.
Those dates:
Saturday July 19
The Lemonheads
Okkervil River

Sunday July 20

Slam Dunk
da funk!
That's good stuff, but surely............
Walter should be headlining?
SURELY?!
He's supported Get Cape before.
GCWCF is more popular with ver kids than Rival Schools.
Anyway, Shreifels is only playing gigs now since those t-shirt sales dried up three years ago.
he should have used
worse quality tshirt printers. my rival schools tshirt and hoodie are still sparkly new.
kids are idiots.
ahh fuck
you got my hopes up for Rival Schools.
i hate get cape
Hi Lattitude Festival!
Schreifels has a habit of supporting indie of-the-moment types and blowing them away
This will be good to see i feel
wait... what? how does this work?
will walter be playing any rivals schools stuff?
sorry. cant handle long sentences today. or short ones.
Yeah
He'll be playing Rival Schools stuff and no doubt Quicksand, Walking Concert and solo songs too
awesome
so is this Blimey & The Governors thing something they'll do at another time during the weekend, do we think?
obviously it's absurd looking back, but i thought for a second that a side project would be the headline act.
not that i care about headliners, just rival schools and quicksand songs.
From what Sam and Walter were saying
It'll be like a 3 hour set with Walter's related songs first and then Get Cape ones later. Whether or not they'll play somewhere else at the festival as well, I don't know
slightly disappointing
surely they could find a better headliner
you
said it
haahaha
thats mad gash
Glad
i am at 'melt'. If Rival Schools were playing i WOULD have cried.
Bugger Rival Schools..........
reckon there'll be any Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand covers?!
For sure
He played an acoustic 'Start Today' when i saw him last
the best thing about Truck
is that it does whatever the fuck it feels like. and this is something that should be celebrated.
