Field Day, London’s most ambitious and forward-thinking festival, is pleased to announce more names on the burgeoning line up. Confirmed for 2012 are dark yet danceable Canadian electronic trio Austra, London songstress Jessie Ware, who continues to cement her reputation as one of the most exciting vocalists to emerge from the UK underground following acclaimed collaborations with artists including Sampha and SBTRKT, and hotly tipped newcomers Citizens!, whose debut album has been produced by none other than Field Day headliner Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand. 

Known for his invigorating house and techno, German DJ and producer Kassem Mosse will be playing live at Victoria Park alongside Bristol’s finest export Eats Everything and legendary Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess, who is currently collaborating with fellow Field Day artist R. Stevie Moore on a definitive compilation album, and who recently announced the release date of his highly anticipated memoir, Telling Stories, which will hit bookstores in late April. To hear Tim talking about these exciting projects and more, tune in to the first Field Day Radio Show.

Also confirmed are ambient musician Laurel Halo aka Brooklyn based female Ina Cube, Californian noise pop outfit Crocodiles, hazy electronica Warp trio Sunless ’97, !K7 Records’ Danish shimmering pop quartet When Saints Go Machine and Australian four-piece Last Dinosaurs. 

Entering into its sixth year, Field Day will be returning to Victoria Park with its unique formula of pioneering line up coupled with village fete mentality, all in the heart of East London. Due to the London 2012 Olympics, Field Day will now take place over the Diamond Jubilee June Bank Holiday weekend on Saturday 2nd June.

Hosted by forward-thinking promoters Eat Your Own Ears, Bugged Out!, Bleed and Lanzarote, Field Day is a festival that has become synonymous with imaginative and progressive bills and 2012 is certainly shaping up to be no exception to this rule.

Promoter Tom Baker of Eat Your Own Ears says: "I’m really excited about the line-up for Field Day 2012. It’s been something of a challenge after last year’s was so strong but with Franz Ferdinand closing the Eat Your Own Ears stage and with acts like Tortoise playing I’m hoping it will be just as good! As ever it’s hugely exciting to welcome acts from further afield; I’m particularly delighted to announce Afrocubism featuring Toumani and some incredible Cuban musicians – they’re going to blow people’s minds!"

As with years gone by, Field Day will be providing ample entertainment for those looking for respite from the music in the Village Mentality area on The Village Green. Expect traditional side stalls inspired by country pastimes and weird and wonderful fete games such as Blindfold Sweetcorn Husking Championship, Scone Throwing, Vegetable Discus and Human Wheelbarrow.
