London’s Field Day festival has announced a second wave of artists for the 2022 edition. After announcing headliners Kraftwerk and The Chemical Brothers back in November last year, they are now hosting Peggy Gou, Squarepusher, and Moodymann b2b Carl Craig. See the full line-up (so far) below:
After moving to Brockwell Park for 2018 and Drumsheds for 2019, they are moving back to their old stomping ground of Victoria Park in East London for the 15th anniversary. They first returned to the famous Victoria Park in 2021, which represented a homecoming after they missed out on Summer 2020. The 2021 edition sold out in February, even when the UK was deep in lockdown with no end in sight, showcasing the festivals popularity in the scene.
The previous time the festival was held in Victoria Park was 2017, a day which hosted an impressive variety of acts including Death Grips, Flying Lotus, Run The Jewels, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and a headline act from Aphex Twin at the massive Barn stage.
Acts to perform at 2022’s Field Day include Floating Points, HAAi, Kareem Ali, Otik, and Tourist, as announced in November last year alongside the headliners, Kraftwerk and The Chemical Brothers.
A few artists on this line-up are returning acts, such as Moodymann who performed at the 2017 edition and Floating Points who performed a live set at the 2019 edition in Brockwell Park.
On their website, Field day revel in their return: “Field Day festival is set for a glorious homecoming, with Victoria Park in East London unveiled as the location for this year’s anticipated show. Taking place on Saturday 20th August 2022 as part of the APE Presents programme, the festival will showcase some of electronic music’s most revered artists.”
Gareth Cooper, Field Day’s Director, said: “Off the back of a successful year last year, we’re delighted Field Day is returning to Victoria Park to celebrate its 15th edition.
“This year will be our biggest yet and we’re excited to welcome two of the most iconic acts in the history of electronic music to the festival, as well as a selection of the most ground-breaking artists in the industry.”
Tickets for the festival have been on pre-sale since November and are already on their fifth release, although these tickets are now likely to sell out after this new line-up announcement. You can buy tickets on their website here.
