The undercard isn't quite as big a "Must see" for me as the 2019 version of this was, but for God's sake I hope the sound system is better given how poor it was on the two biggest stages for that visit.

Least JARV IS in the tent was suitably meaty. Even if the acts of festival timing meant I had to sack off their last few songs to get a good spot for Interpol.

It was good for me too at the strokes

key thing is to move about - think i've been very lucky as i have never really had any issues

if it wasn't full of talkers the sound wouldn't matter as much anyway!!

Sound has been good for me whenever Ive been, but the talkers at Foals in 2021 was incredible. Moved around a few places, nothing inproved. Real put off.

Think that's just the nature of the beast with park gigs in London. It's why I rarely have enthusiasm for Hyde Park or Finsbury Park shows.

APE is consistently worse than Finsbury - not sure about Hyde Park but its quite deep in the park so probably ok i'd assume

Strokes day was notoriously bad last time and Foals had some issues last time they played, but I didn't really have any issues last year and I went to a few of the days so not sure if they've found a sweet spot for it. It's a site that benefits from moving around a bit to get the best sound.

It's in a residential area and so I imagine there's a lot of watching dB levels as the evening goes on.

Allegedly its one of the most sound restricted festivals in Europe according to someone from the industry

Are there any prices for Field Day announced?

I tried to buy tickets last week when Aphex was rumoured, and there was a bug on the website that said 6th release tickets were £99. Although that may have been for last year? It's hard to say. Really hope it's less than that, I'm absolutely buying tickets with that lineup

Seen this article: https://www.clashmusic.com/live/aphex-twin-is-headlining-field-day-2023/

Says it's from £45 (+ fees, I imagine)

The Strokes was 81 quid in the amex presale today for general admission. Seems about right these for that kind of event. 

£1 cheaper than last time!

It says it starts at 3pm also

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
