Super happy about FKA Twigs

[Tuna]

Great additions. Hopefully lots at Glastonbury. Probably won't be here for it which is kind of annoying but not really.

[Gucci Piggy]

Been waiting desperately to find out if Savages are around in the Summer. Thank fuck.

[stocky3000]

Those additions are making the festival quite tasty and could act nicely to relieve some of the clashes inevitably going to occur at Glasto.

Is Caribou the sat headliner?

[fairy_]

Yep Caribou headlining on Sat.

Bought my ticket just before Christmas when it was at its cheapest as (having been to FD before) I wasn't worried about lineup additions etc. Glad I'm going!

[5co77ie]

now with added Coombes:

[mrtourette]

Ride, Patti Smith, Gaz Coombes, Savages and DIIV - tasty.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

New announcement due today.

*Is* Caribou the Saturday headliner?

I assumed that from the layout of the site, but looking at the ticket page shows:

"FIELD DAY 2015 – SATURDAY 6 JUNE

Tickets – 1st release: £49.50
Tickets will increase to £54.50 on Tuesday 24 February

FIELD DAY 2015 – SUNDAY 7 JUNE
RIDE headline
Tickets – 1st release: £38.50"

Ride are specifically mentioned as headliners for Sunday whereas Saturday is blank. Is Caribou just keeping the seat warm for someone set to be announced today? Unless of course they've already specified that he's headlining in an earlier announcement (that I've presumably missed/not read).

Bit odd but he does to seem to be, unless its another stage?

Caribou – Field Day Saturday

We are delighted to welcome back long-time friend of Field Day and one of the hardest working musicians around today, Dan Snaith aka Caribou to headline Field Day Saturday.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

Cheers. I'm a fan so no complaints, just thought a headliner announcement might have happened.

Line-up looks strong - plenty of acts I'll want to see on both days.

[LondonTom]

The saturday is looking a bit tempting with that undercard, lots of very decent acts!

Sunday is a bit meh apart from Patti Smith and Baxter Dury.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I've been wanting to see both Cashmere Cat and Hudson Mohawke for a while now - not to mention MssingNo.....the line up is basically perfect for me give or take a few acts! Damn my friends getting married on the same day!

Although having spoken to the groom, he is also keen on the festival so maybe we could just sneak off?

[the wonderwhy]

Sunday is an absolute dream. Reckon I'll be able to get a ticket on the day?

Yeah easy enough, hasn't sold out the last few years.

[Tuna]

Thought I'd give this a bump as it's next weekend. Who are we all looking forward to?

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Sunday's line up is great, Ride, Toy, patti smith, Jane Weaver, Hookworms, DIIV, absolute class.

[Tuna]

Times are out now too, here's the clashfinder

Actually fairly clash free, Sunday especially. Only Patti Smith/Hookworms, but I've seen Hookworms many many times and not Patti, so. Glad Owen Pallett is early on, would be a bit funny going from, say, Klock/Dettmann at 8pm to see him. That'll be lovely.

[LondonTom]

Django Django, Run The Jewels and Rae Morris all clash?!

Madness!

Don't think either day really has enough I like/know to justify going when looking at on the Clashfinder! A real shame as I enjoyed last year so much. (and i probably shouldn't at the moment anyway, that said if its sunny I will still be tempted!)

[Homer]

I'm going sunday, looks good:

DIIV

Justin Robertson

Gaz Coombes

Patti Smith

Savages

Ride

hello.

I have a question. How 'draconian' are the security. Say......someone 'accidentally' had a hipflask on their persons.....*ahem*.....is it easy to 'accidentally' get this through the gates? OBVIOUSLY, someone would be SO disappointed with themselves, if they find they have done this. Obviously.....ahem....

Also, im assuming the bar/food prices are. like, just london prices & 30% Festival tax, right? Around a fiver a pint?

[Tuna]

£4 for some real ales at the craft beer tent thing. £5 for a tin of red stripe. Easy choice!

You're allowed to take a sealed bottle of water with you... get creative.

If the weather is anything like today it's going to be a great day out.

People I went with last time got in with booze stashed about there persons, in fact one of them when asked by security if they had anything in their bag panicked and said 'yes, just this plastic bottle of rum, sorry' and they were duly given back the rum and allowed in. The searches aren't very thorough, bags more so of course, but easy enough.

[retromoz]

cool.

Thanks Tuna & Matt. Both v. helpful.....

Just one more day.
