PLUS MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED
Fucking hell
The Mae Shi are such sluts.
Really?
...
Umm...
as in they're doing lots of gigs and festivals and stuff.
Any good?
Not heard much of it..
They're okay on record
Incredible live. Not sure how it'll work in a festival environment though.
Sexy sluts though
I'm going. Should be good (if they've sorted everything like they say they have)
something about the title
of this thread and the last line of it don't quite match up.
Its
Just copied of the myspace, ive checked...
I was just thinking that...
jesus.
actually pretty good...
CAN I POINT OUT THAT THE 'PLUS MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED' DASHES THE 'FULL LINE UP'
it's a top line up
les savy fav, efterklang and dan deacon FTW
SURELY
Most festivals save back a couple of names to announce late on... AND YES YOU CAN PINT IT OUT. ha ha
are you offering me a drink?
Yes
I believe I am!
fantastic, a nice cold pint of bitter
please thanks
didnt realise
Magistrates were playing, think im in...
Field Day FULL LINE UP
"plus more to be announced?"
LSF, Modeselektor & Efterklang, I'm sold
The Mae Shi, Dan Deacon, Modeselektor, Les Savy Fav
Some white stuff just fell out of my willy.
YAY
ICE CREAAAMMMM
I AM THERE!
Got my ticket!
f it
me too
Score!
Glad I got my ticket early, this is going to be awesomez!
Of Montreal!
This makes me so happy.
might go to this
yay
yay
Awh I wish I was going to this....
but I've decided on Electric Picnic and Latitude as my festivals for this summer.
I'd love to see Jeffrey Lewis and The Mae Shi.
Cut Copy
Why have they disappeared from the lineup?
Bollocks!
They're down to play some festival in Oslo that day now! Bastards! I was really looking forward to them!
:(
:( some more.
my mate
says he's burying some bottles of vodka in victoria park the night before for this...i think i'm gonna pop along, i had a great time last year despite its problems and obvious shortcomings
why
surely its easier to just fill up water bottles with vodka? or dont they let you bring in water?
no
no they didn't let you take in water last year, despite being one of the hottest days of the year.
think you can
this year, according to the press release anyway...f-ing hope so
Gonna have trouble with that.
Underage festival the day before.
I had a similar idea
to do that, it's five minutes from my house so easily done.
would not miss this
for the world!
i thought Converge were playing for a second then
:(
that would have been pretty cool
That's what I thought too!
There isn't much heavy stuff, is there?
Why
is the Underage lineup so shite? Fucks sake.
is this sold out
if not, how much are tickets?
^ this
kthx
you both know this isn't the only site on the internet
right?
reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally?
uh huh
Couldn't get onto it at work
The filter is randomly restrictive
it's...
NOT POST ROCK ENOUGH
*takes deep breaths*
wow
this looks amazing, i'll definatley be there. unless you're in london and can walk into puregroove or whatever then the cheapest tickets are from the warp website. £30.50 including postage and booking fee.
...
What time did this start/finish last year? The official site doesn't really leave me any the wiser, I need to book trains and all that jazz.
before 11pm
i think i left around about 10.30 last year
yet again
the line up is fucking awesome!
I kept ignoring this
but it looks quite good actually, especially for the price.
The Notwist and Efterklang are my two must-sees, and there are a few other nice bands, and some I'd have to investigate.
Wasn't there a big hooha about this festival last year- overcrowded/ stupid queues for toilets/drinks? Is it likely to be better this year?
Yes
Did have some problems last year.. Think it was the promoters first time, with something this scale. In terms of changes - myspace and site http://www.fielddayfestivals.com for the price I think its a pretty safe bet. Put it this way, they would be f-ing stupid to try and put this on again and throw it all away by making the same mistakes. If the sun is shining and the beer is flowing then should be a good day...
ta
have re-read all the old threads on this board again, and also think that surely they can't not make it better. Have bought tickets for it now, so looking forward to it!
did field day sell out last year?
thinking about going to this...
Yep,
It sold out a little while before. I seem to remember there weren't many spares knocking around leading up to it.
ta very much for the info
i'll buy in advance then.
is the line-up complete?
Pretty much I think
I know they added the drummer from arctic monkeys to Dj and maybe we will see a couple more nearer the time but I would say its 95%.. still not got my ticket actually, does anyone know how fast they are selling?
^ I am also interested in knowing this
As I have no money but still a great desire to get wasted in a tent listening to techno at the start of August.
re: tickets
i think warpmart are selling them for the cheapest (i.e. low booking fee, postage etc).
Isn't it about £27 from Rough Trade East?
I know that's not on the internets, but £3 is a pint round 'ere.
damn
should of done that. i can live on £3 for a couple of days!
Tescos tuna and sweetcorn pasta
£1.33, magic.
i hear you, but...
tuna's gross.
They've got cheese and tomato for £1.25
that's a good deal...
where is 'tescos'?
RUBBISH lineup
compared to last year its pretty dire.
no way, this years
line-up is as good if not better
LSF and Dan Deacon FTW!
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man
It's more a state of mind
Just Added
Alasdair Roberts
Pictish Trail..
On homefires stage
According to Myspace
Oh and this on myspace
We are pleased to announce that we added the following to the Main Stage..
***WILD BEASTS***
And also
***ALASDAIR ROBERTS***
+ ***PICTISH TRAIL***
To Homefires...
Unfortunately Dirty Projectors have had to cancel their entire european tour, due to a throat illness. Sadly this includes Field Day... We wish them well and hope to see them back again soon in the UK..
Thanks Everyone..
FD
nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
:'(
With Wild in the Country
Gone gone gone... Its has to be field day now! Hope they survive..! I will see Foals this summer, eventually!
does anyone know....
if the policy on bringing things into the site i.e. not being allowed to take ANY food or drink (including water) is the same this year??
There's nothing on the website saying that as far as I can see...
think they
are providing water on site this year... I doubt you can take food in.. its a one day thing isnt it, probably the only way the make any money..
I've just bought my ticket
I'm quite excited about this now!
El Guincho
appears to have dropped off the line up on the website. Anyone know if he's still playing? Was awesome at Beni...
As much speculation on the event wall.. hmm
http://www.last.fm/event/465637
He's cancelled
all his summer dates as far as I'm aware unfortunately.
Nearly sold out
So the word on the street goes... well so my mate told me! got my earlybird ticket anyway.. Actually really looking forward to it now.. hope the Sun stays out!
Just added
Queens of Noise and Jon Hopkins (whoever he is!!!)
Ticket concerns
I ordered four tickets from Seetickets.com in May and they still haven't arrived. I checked the tracker feature at See and they haven't come into stock yet apparently. I find this a bit worrying given there's less than two weeks to go...
Has anyone else who's ordered tickets online recieved theirs yet?
Same
Still waiting for mine and I reckon I ordered mine in early May.
I had an email saying not to contact them until 5 days before the event re missing tickets, but that seems a little too close for comfort for me. Might ring them tomorrow/friday.
Telepathe added
woot!
Yeah, sounds good
The more of us that do it, the faster they will get their arses in gear, assuming there is a problem! Would have thought they'd have arrived by now.
I just got this from TicketWeb (i'm picking my tickets up there)
Dear TicketWeb Customer,

The doors open at 11:30 and the event will begin promptly at 12:00 with a performance by Noah and the Whale.
For travel information and details of event facilities, we suggest you visit the official festival website; http://www.fielddayfestivals.com/

MOTHERFUCKER
My bar be cue is till 3 meaning I'll miss NATW
On That Stage
EAT YOUR OWN EARS STAGE:
DIRTY PROJECTORS / FOALS / LAURA MARLING / LES SAVY FAV / MYSTERY JETS / NOAH AND THE WHALE / OF MONTREAL / THE FIELD / EL GUINCHO / PLUS DJ HUW STEPHENS
First band at noon divided your barbecue until 3pm equals big misses. Ouch.
_
Dirty Projectors
pulled out agas ago, Wild Beasts are replacing them who also should not be missed.
Tickets
Will be sent out 10 days prior to the event. So you should we will receive the tickets in the next couple of days I imagine... I actually really excited now, I have a couple of friends in some of the smaller bands that are playing and it seems like it should be a decent day out.. Lets hoping the sun keeps his hat on!!!
What after parties
are going on for this, or anything else worth seeing on Saturday night? 10.30pm seems too early for it to end.
I'm thinking of either Fabric or The End, having never been to them before, but wondered if there were any late gigs about.
official Field Day Party
is at the end till 7am, is that late enough?!
.
I'll be heading to 333 afterwards.
http://www.myspace.com/lastoneinisarottenegg
My mates are DJing and so are The Mystery Jets.
Seetickets say tickets are being sent out today
Hurrah!
Also booked some tickets for the afterparty at The End. Figure it's cheaper to stay up all night than pay for accomodation! Going to be a long day, but hopefully one of the best...
I got mine through the post yesterday.
my
best mate from home, and his house mate from uni and my house mate from uni are all going to this
i'm gonna have to welcome them back home at the end, furious with jealousy cos they'll have seen Efterklang
i'd give anything to go. but no, i am skint. and it's probaly sold out too.
Tickets
Still available... Sunny this Saturday aswell.. Im really excited now, didnt really know anything about it, untill I started this thread, now im the expert!!!
Whether
Supposed to be sunny? Thank Fuck for that. Joyous times ahead FOR ALL!
I hope everyone who doesn't go because 'moan moan whinge whinge life sucks' last year cry themselves to sleep. Har.
_
Benga
I saw a line up with Benga on it he is wicked.
Got my tickets yesterday
:D
I'm going
Looks great!
Highlighters at the ready
http://drownedinsound.com/files/field_day_2008.pdf
.
oooh
Mystery Jets aren't going to make it,
This makes me :-(
So I suppose the times will all be jigged about now anyway.
I heard he was coming out of hospital in time?
or has there been further news?
Yeah,
Blaine's posted a blog on myspace. Says he'll probably be in hospital for at least another week and is now aiming to get better in time for Reading/Leeds. It sounds really bad :(
that's a shame
his health is priority though
replacement act or settle for something else that was clashing?
official
myspace blog from field day just posted confirming mystery jets have pulled out :(
they clashed with dan deacon for me anyhow, but still a shame since i also missed them at standon calling
gah this is annoying
as i'm seeing dan deacon on monday at the scala - are efterklang worth seeing?
The reports from Supersonic...
...said that Efterklang were great.
Efterklang
were great at Supersonic, the happiest band on Earth.
See Efterklang
They're amazing live. Seen them twice and they excelled expectations on each occasion.
But
they won't just leave an empty gap on the main stage though will they? They'll put someone from lower on the bill on then instead, or get a replacement, although it's probably a bit late for the latter.
or
just extend all the times on the main stage by 5-10 minutes each to fill the gap
I think
they will move someone over..
Free pair of Icarus Line tickets
anyone want em?
times on field day website at last!

seems to be first official word since MJ pull out
oh shit - just noticed, has Dan Deacon pulled out???!?!
also
80 minutes for Foals and 30 minutes for most others, what is that about??
Hm
Shit, much as I love them, that does seem a bit weird. Like, typo weird..
Uh, especially since Jon Hopkins finishes ten minutes into their set...
I'll get me coat.
_
oh yeah
those times make no sense whatsoever, odd. they're probably on for an hour then from 21.30-22.30.
i'm still annoyed that two of the acts i most wanted to see have pulled out and that two others (Modeselektor and Tunng) clash - I knew the first timetable was too good to be true!
argh
I bloody hope not
Balls
PS HELLO ANDREW!
That would be gashery of the highest order
Dan Deacon was the primary reason I got a ticket...
getting to be a habit sadly
didn't he also not make a show at amersham arms about 3 months ago with no notice at all, in fact i think he was shceduled and just didn't turn up. a shame as his live show is such great fun.
Dan Deacon
is a bum, he pulled out of the last gig he did in London.
What makes it worse is that there's nothing else to watch at that time
I'd rather be raped in the eye socket by a zombie Herman Goering than sit through yet another Lightspeed Champion set.
.....
it just frustrates me that we have to find out implicitly with no official word. i know the lineup is subject to change and that's cool, but it would be nice to see a bit of communication with your punters to let us know what's going on.
What. The. Fuck.
Looks like I'm going to be in the bugged out tent a lot more than I thought.
Dan Deacon
had his passport stolen this morning and has had to cancel his Euro plans
I
just heard this....too many cancellations
damn
that's really unfortunate if true
This is the shitest news all day
My #1 thing I was looking forward to.
Glad I didn't buy tickets to No Age and Health now, was going to buy a ticket just for him. He's been replaced for that date with the quite-shit Lovvers.
Yeah it's true.
UTM just announced that he had to cancel his No Age/HEALTH support as his passport was stolen.
UTR even.
So not sure whether I'm going to go anymore. Very weather-dependent. Mostly annoyed about LSF/Efterklang clash, urgh.
argh
thats annoying. some awful awful luck with these cancellations :-(
ah the field has 45 mins now! hoorah!
