Field Day 2009

After the mayhem of comes to the East End's lavish green space for its third year. While most of the London outdoor music events are crowded and highly commercial affairs, Field Day goes against the grain, attempting to capture the laid back sunshine-and-cider vibe of a small, rural festival. With 5,000 visitors fitting very comfortably into Victoria Park, it describes itself as a psychedelic village fete. This seems to mean folksy electronica joined by a coconut shy, tombola, sack races and bowling for bacon - with some harder beats as the sun sets (following a good old fashioned tug-o'-war). Teething problems have marred the last two years - poor sound the first year and unacceptable toilet queues last - but the idea is a good one, and hopefully it'll all run a bit more smoothly third time lucky. Confirmed acts include Scottish post-rockers Mogwai, African musician Toumani Diabate and electronic remixers Aeroplane.
