At Victoria Park, London
Saturday, 1 August 2009
From 11:30am until 10:30pm

Brought to you by London's most adventurous and daring promoters - Eat Your Own Ears, Adventures In The Beetroot Field, Bugged Out! – Field Day will bring you the most cutting-edge line-up of bands and DJs in the 2009 Festival season. The heart of East London will be transformed into a Village Fete; a Village Green area within the festival will supply the masses with some countrified fun and games away from sound systems and stages. Try your luck on the tombola, crack a few nuts on the coconut shy - or just sit on some haybales and stuff your face with homemade cake. Inspired by summer sports days and country fetes - Field Day's very own village green will host stalls and activities throughout the daytime, ranging from sack-racing, to whack-the-rat, Bowling for Bacon and lots more to be announced. See www.fielddayfestivals.com for further information.

More Information

Mogwai

Mogwai

Tumultuous indie rock with the emphasis on epic, Mogwai's music has an almost orchestral feel to it, thanks to its huge scale. Rich and luscious in its atmosphere and texture, here's a group that really will take you on a trip to somewhere else.

For more information, see the website

Four Tet

Four Tet

The solo electronic project of Kieran Hebden of post-rock band, Fridge. What you get here is a beguiling and baffling journey into sound; a mixture of folk-inflected electronica and lo-fi murmurings incorporating elements of jazz, techno and hip-hop. His first two releases were NME singles of the week and his 2005 album, Everything Ecstatic has secured him the title of King of folktronica.

James Yorkston

James Yorkston

'A thousand times more haunting than anything the New Acoustic Movement ever dreamed of' said the NME. Indeed Scottish musician James Yorkston's music is haunting, but there is something else in his music which lifts him above the average acoustic singer/songwriter. At times he sounds like a rat-pack crooner, the next like a scottish balladeer, and just when he's got down to his quietest, most fragile moment he'll break into one of the loudest acoustic guitar intervals you're likely to hear. James Yorkston is diversity at it's best, with all the quality of tradition and excitement of the new.

Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy is the solo project of Owen Pallett, ex Hidden Cameras member, violist and arranger for Arcade Fire who has won fans including David Bowie, Bloc Party and U2. Performing by himself with only his violin and looping pedal, Owen manages to build up the most complex wonderful songs with catchy hooks and euphoric lush melodies that recall Rufus Wainwright, Philip Glass and in places Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart.

Malcolm Middleton

Malcolm Middleton

Born and raised in Falkirk, Scotland, Malcolm Middleton first found fame as a prominent member of Scottish lo-fi folk group Arab Strap. Middleton's solo career, which he ran alongside Arab Strap until their split in 2006, has provided a perfect outlet for his personal, harrowing and heartfelt songwriting. 'While his morale languishes somewhere in a cold Falkirk bedsit, melodically his songs whoop from mountain peaks.' – Observer Music Monthly.

Errors

'Post rockers you can dance to' -NME. Signed to Rock Action, the record label set up and run by Mogwai, ERRORS take elements of new-wave, electro, 90s rave, acid-house and make it their own along with the contemporary influences of purveyors of glitch electronica and IDM such as kid606, Boards of Canada and Fourtet.

The Horrors

The Horrors

Bridging the unseen gap between mod, goth and punk music, The Horrors have burst onto the scene, spurting a no-nonsense mix of London rock and theatrical punk. Putting as much effort into their dramatic stage shows as they do their immaculate appearances, The Horrors make camp, catchy music that would do a Tim Burton soundtrack proud.

Santigold

Santigold

Formerly known as Santogold, the lovechild of submarine sonar and low frequency midnight moans, Santigold was born somewhere between Bedstuy and Bushwick, Brooklyn and was placed under the care of enigmatic singer and songwriter Santi White. Santigold drives dub and 80's pop influences from song to song. Sometimes basement rock, sometimes Bananarama-soundclash, Santigold is a vehicle for White's well drawn late night fight lines and robot-witch scat on the beat. Warbling bass, island upbeat, and deep-south snap provide foundation for White's whispering lilts and tension-ridden verses.

Mystery Jets

Mystery Jets

'Perfectly formed pop' (Bugbear). A band who manage to do something new with the rock sound. Their music is unusual and boundary pushing, but luckily they have the technical prowess to pull it off, sometimes mastering kitchen utensils as well as more standard instruments.

For more information, see the website

Juana Molina

Juana Molina

Haunting and disparate singer and musician drawing on folk, roots and world music to create beautifully delicate modern folk songs. Juana Molina’s voice is as soft as the wind and as determined as a storm; her music pushing the boundaries of traditional and modern. A musical delight.
