I do wonder why people here (and possibly APE) insist on big headliners? If they returned to the smaller capacity and headliners of the Field Day era, I'd be very happy! However, in the Field Day era they had a strong undercard shared with Primavera, and now that has become patchy as well.

Totally with you.

Field Day lineups were brilliant generally and huge bills.

This year we seem to have average headliners and not much strength in depth either.

2017 in particular looked crazy and there was still Aphex as a headliner aha

Absolutely ridiculous year. Doing Forest Swords > Death Grips > Moderat > Flying Lotus > Nicolas J > Aphex Twin was bonkers. One of the best day festivals the city's seen in my opinion.

Any idea when we might get more names for Field Day? 

I'll skip swiftly past the post calling Aphex Twin of all people an average headliner 

I duhnno but thinking clipping. Would fit into the bill nicely

Am really hoping for Clipping myself who I think will be in the UK at that point but not sure if Field Day would clash with Green Man

Well theres no way theyll come from america just for one festival. They are a must see act for me. But theyd be perfect on the field day bill

Looks like it'll be Sunday 20th. If Folamour is there as said previously in the thread, he's at Creamfields North on the Saturday and We Are FSTVL on the Sunday of Bank Hol weekend (although, could do 2 sets in a day).

Surely Saturday 26th or Sunday 27th much more likely (next day not a working day)?

Fairly sure they've never had a day before on the Sunday of the first weekend.

Yeah, might not be, that was just a guess based on Folamour's dates - looks like he's headlining a stage at We Are, so would certainly be possible to do both in the same day.

Ah, that’s helpful.

So as we know Folamour is playing a festival in the north on Saturday and then in London on the Sunday, then he must be doubling up with APE on the Sunday ie the Jungle day is the second Sunday.

I was hoping for the second Saturday, day after the Strokes. I don't think I'll hang around weekend but could certainly swing the second day. 

Curious to see who else crops up so.

This seems weirdly ambitious considering they did Crystal Palace literally last year which is what, 15k?

I reckon if there’s a similar sized band on the bill then it could work. I bloody love a Jungle show, the funnest band to see live.

    • 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.
