FIELD DAY 2013 ANNOUNCE THE FIRST ARTISTS ON LINE-UP!!

Entering its seventh year, Field Day will be returning to the leafy green surroundings of Victoria Park with its unique formula of pioneering line-up coupled with village fete mentality, all in the heart of East London. Field Day will take place over the Bank Holiday weekend on Saturday 25th May!

Field Day is a festival that has become synonymous with imaginative and progressive bills hosting the likes of Franz Ferdinand, SBTRKT, Afrocubism, Grimes and Django Django last summer; 2013 is certainly shaping up to be no exception to this rule.

As with years gone by, Field Day will be providing ample entertainment for those looking for respite from the music in the Village Mentality area on The Village Green. Expect traditional side stalls inspired by country pastimes and weird and wonderful fete games, from classic tug of war, sack races and egg and spoon race to more unexpected and fantastic ones like tea bag tossing and the world famous winkle picking contest.

Among the first acts to be confirmed are Animal Collective, Bat For Lashes, Charlie Boyer & The Voyeurs, Chvrches, Daphni, Daughter, Disclosure, Django Django, Do Make Say Think, Emeralds, Everything Everything, Four Tet, Francois & The Atlas Mountains, Fucked Up, Ginger Baker Jazz Confusion, Hessle Audio DJs (Ben UFO, Pangaea, Pearson Sound), How To Dress Well, Jacques Greene, James Yorkston, Julio Bashmore, Karenn/ Mulatu Astatke (Ethiopiques), Thomas Mapfumo, Tim Burgess, TNGHT, Virals, Vondelpark plus many more artists to be announced…
