The leftfield one-dayer returns for its seventh year. Field Day has become known for its triumphantly eclectic choice of underground as well as established talent, such as the hip double bill-toppers this year: Baltimore-based post-psych innovators Animal Collective and beguiling pop singer Natasha Khan, aka Bat For Lashes. Recent additions to the line-up include Solange, doing her best to step out of the shadow of her big sister Beyoncé, rising guitar-wielders Savages and Palma Violets, the heavy sounds of Toy and Metz, and alternative icons Kurt Vile and John Cooper Clarke.
