Field Day 2012


On 2nd June, Hackney’s Victoria Park lends its green space to Field Day, hosting cutting-edge artists from the worlds of electronica and indie (and a few thousand so-hip-it-hurts punters). As usual, there’s an embarrassment of riches on the bill this year, ranging from big-hitters Franz Ferdinand to bright new hopes Friends, not to mention acclaimed alt-hip hop outfit Death Grips and recently-reformed indie legends Mazzy Star. Check out our pick of the bill below.

Top three must-sees

Mazzy Star

Mazzy Star Californian dream-pop duo Mazzy Star are back! Yes, having spent the past 16 years providing spine-tingling vocals for artists like Air and Massive Attack – and performing with My Bloody Valentine’s Colm Ó Cíosóig in The Warm Interventions – Hope Sandoval’s finally writing with David Roback again. Head down to the Village Mentality Stage to hear classics like ‘Fade Into You’ and ‘Into Dust’, plus material from their long-awaited fourth studio album.

Grimes

GrimesIf we had a few bob to spare, we’d put it on Grimes’ latest long-player Visions playing a starring role in the Best of 2012 round-ups. With glowing reviews and a rapidly multiplying fan base, her set at Field Day ought to prove one of the most over-subscribed of the day too. If you want to see the Canadian one-woman band perform her experimental electro-pop in the flesh, we’d suggest you get to the Village Mentality Stage early doors.

SBTRKT

SBTRKTFamed for his tribal mask and magpie-like approach to making music, Aaron Jerome of SBTRKT was responsible for one of the most acclaimed dance debuts of 2011. He’ll be bringing his unique mix of two-step, dubstep, UK funky and Chicago house to the Bugged Out! Tent, hopefully with a little help from Sampha and fellow Field Day-performer Jessie Ware.
