Event information

Blue Bayou proudly present an evening of pop music and guile in honour of Truck Store's birthday!

In 2023 they hosted a string of celebrated debut shows at the Jericho Tavern, the Library, and Modern Art Oxford.

In 2025 they continue this tradition, this time as part of Truck's birthday weekend - they're also proud to bring you Oxford's Joely and Sheffield's Life Aquatic Band as special guests.

Blue Bayou:

'Expect dancing, singalongs, and 'alt pop' par excellence – a treat to watch live' – OMS Magazine

A five piece who make odd pop music with horns and strings. Their set is by turns wry, fretful, and cathartic – music in the fashion of Costello’s knocking knees.

-

Life Aquatic Band:

‘The psychedelic curveball you need in your life’ - NME

A mix between 70s Pop and early 2000 dance-punk, Life Aquatic Band bring positive mantras to to the dancefloor, like LCD soundsystem playing Paul Simon’s Graceland.

-

Joely June:

Fresh folk meets indie pop, Joely June is a soft gut punch of soaring melodies, gritty slide guitar and ear worm hooks that’ll engulf you like a warm hug. Formally known just as Joely, Autumn 2023 marked the start of an exciting new era for this soulful songwriter.

Before her highly anticipated relaunch, she made two Main Stage appearances at Truck Festival in 2022 and 2023 with her band, hit over 50,000 all-time streams on Spotify and was frequently championed by BBC Introducing.
