Field Day has announced a handful of new names for this year’s festival, including Sleaford Mods, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Little Simz and Blossoms.
The two-day event, which takes place in Victoria Park on 11 and 12 June, will mark its tenth anniversary next year – and they already announced a stellar first handful of acts last year, including PJ Harvey, John Grant, Deerhunter and Skepta.
Now, they’ve added more acts to the bill. Girl Band, Kelela, Little Simz, Nao, Sleaford Mods, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Blossoms are set to perform. Yeasayer, whose highly anticipated new album Amen & Goodbye is set to drop in April, are also set to perform – marking the first opportunity to hear their new material live in the UK.
