“We are gassed to announce this line-up,” The Field Maneuvers team wrote on Instagram and Twitter. “It’s our 10 year anniversary of surviving by the skin of our teeth so we thought we’d pull out all the stops… Some of our absolute FM die-hard favourites are making a return and we’ve got some names that we have admired from a distance making their debuts.”

Last October, the Field Maneuvers organisers launched a Crownfunder page asking attendees and rave lovers to help save the independent festival after last year’s event failed to break even. Thankful the campaign received huge support from the community and the festival managed to reach its target of £40,000 before its deadline ensuring the future of the festival is safe.
