Field Day returns to Victoria Park for their tenth edition. Creating a festival environment with a community mentality, Field 2016 will feature performances from across the spectrum of live and electronic music.
Field Day are thrilled to welcome Air, the French outfit whose sound has been influenced by the psychedelic and progressive rock pioneers Pink Floyd. With a string of hits under their belt, Air will treat fans to a special set of their classics, demonstrating their seminal signature sound this Field Day Sunday. Air are perhaps best known for their 1998 debut ‘Moon Safari‘ which went platinum in the UK and for a short while seemed to define the musical zeitgeist. They’ve also composed elegant soundtracks for Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation and The Virgin Suicides.
Joining Air will be the hugely successful Australian rock band The Temper Trap. With the band’s third album on the horizon, Field Day are extremely excited to welcome them on Sunday 12th June as they showcase their new material at the Festival.
It’s been ten years since the recently announced Mystery Jets broke surface with their debut album, ‘Making Dens‘. What’s kept Mystery Jets consistently fascinating over the last decade has been an itchy footed desire to keep trying new things. Given the strength of their new album ‘Curve Of The Earth‘, the next ten years looks set to be as exciting for listeners as the last.
Field Day are also excited to announce New York native sing-songwriter and filmmaker Adam Green. With his new hyper-sensory, poetic and humorously subversive ‘Aladdin‘ project currently making waves, Green will perform new tracks from the album at Field Day this June.
Hair-raising and pulse-quickening, indie punk rockers Fat White Family will also be on board this Field Day Sunday 12th June. Formed in a Peckham squat, the band have now released their second album ‘Songs For Our Mothers’, hailed as rich and fascinating both lyrically and musically.
