Wild basts, zehhrr gut

Evangelink · 2011-02-18, 14:42:57

Pretty great line up so far. Near me as well.

PaoloTramezzani · 2011-02-18, 17:09:03

at first glance i was a little bit disappointed, loads that were there last year (presumable mount kimbie will get a bigger stage this time) and others that have played previous years

Tortoise and Sun Ra is brilliant though :)

there still earlybird tickets? i got mine for £25 a pop months ago, it's the only certainty in my summer schedule

Andrew · 2011-02-18, 17:20:25

I will no doubt end up there again, I've been the last 3 years. Hopefully wont have the worlds worst hangover this year.

Evangelink · 2011-02-18, 17:30:31

^^ Earlybird tickets are going for £39.50 (incl booking fee) on Seetickets, reasonable enough as there are enough acts on that line up for me to enjoy. Gonna try and get mates interested tonight....

clement · 2011-02-18, 17:37:57

think full price is 39, early bird 35, or thats what i read the other day. might be wrong as that seems a bit daft, but i'm sure thats what i read.

i think its a pretty good start, but expecting it to get loads better. will be there regardless as always seem to have a good time.

and utterly excited for ariel pink.

woops, early birds are 40. seems quite steep.

PaoloTramezzani · 2011-02-18, 17:55:43

the £25 ones were early early

but yeah, ended up paying for 55 or so for wireless last year so even 40's a bargain for what is surely the best one day festival going

Hand of God · 2011-02-18, 18:05:24

I've been every year. Always good lineups and the sound is getting better.

Guessing that the main headliners are tba as none of those would sell it out?

bash · 2011-02-18, 20:45:50

went to the first 3 but missed out last year, won't be missing out this year : )

There has got to be no more than 2/3 acts of the announced so far playing the bugged out tent so there should be plenty more quality names to come.

Wild beasts and horrors are solid bands for me, both have played before but s'all good they will have new albums by then.

andy8271 · 2011-02-19, 01:36:20

PaoloTramezzani · 2011-05-24, 08:20:25

sup kirk

line up here: http://www.fielddayfestivals.com/line-up/

sure there's an after party and even a field day night prior to the event (may have gone already)

murray888 · 2011-05-24, 09:50:49

After getting pissed off with the sound in past years, I'm starting to think I might go again this year. Just fingers crossed it doesn't bloody rain as usual.

Evangelink · 2011-05-24, 13:09:12

I'm definitely going, line up is ridiculous and it looks like the only chance I'll have to see Zola Jesus this year.

I love Zola Jesus.

bash · 2011-05-24, 13:33:49

is there definitely gonna be an after show? xoyo i presume?

tis a very forward thinking and unique line up. im probably not going but i respect the line up for sure.

~~tim101~~ · 2011-05-24, 23:25:13

far too indie for me...

Kirk · 2011-05-24, 23:43:03

what is this about the soundsystem?
never been but ive heard a lot of moaning about it
whats wrong?

thomunscene · 2011-05-25, 07:24:37

Mulling over going again this year as the lineup's always bang on. The mainstage is a joke though, ridiculously quiet.

In past years there's been sound restrictions due to the location and the proximity of local housing (I believe). It basically resulted in not being able to hear anything properly. I was stood at the front of the crowd for Fake Blood and could quite happily talk to my mates (stood next to me) without raising my voice. You could also hear music from the other stages/tents. Bit rubbish really.

PaoloTramezzani · 2011-05-25, 09:22:59

sound was fine last year

there was only 15 people in the tent for rory and maybe a couple of hundred for tensnake but by all means stay at home :P

yep, main stage wasn't the loudest to be fair, but it was absolutely class in tensnake, gonzales, smd, carte blanche and so on and so forth. will definitely be there this year.

Bela · 2011-05-25, 11:16:04

I may be going actually :)
