The electronic music festival has operated from Victoria Park in East London for the past four years as a one-day event run by All Points East.
Today, (October 10), they’ve announced that in 2025 they’ll be moving to Brockwell Park, joining a string of other festivals taking place at the south London park including Wide Awake, Cross The Tracks, Mighty Hoopla and City Splash.
They’ve also announced a new date, with Field Day 2025 set to take place on Saturday May 24 as part of the Brockwell Live Bank Holiday Weekender.
Mark Newton, Field Day Festival Director said he is “incredibly excited” about the new location and date, which he says “solidifies our place at the beginning of London’s summer.”
He continued: “After four highly successful years collaborating with All Points East at Victoria Park, 2025 seemed like the ideal time to host our own standalone event again. The availability of both the new venue and date presented the perfect opportunity to do so.”
Field Day was previously held in Brockwell Park in 2018, before briefly moving to the Drumsheds in north London in 2019. They then returned to Victoria Park post-pandemic in 2021, where the festival had been hosted for 11 years prior to 2018.
Along with Field Day’s move to Brockwell Park, Wide Awake will shift from its Saturday slot back to its original Friday position with next year’s festival now taking place on Friday May 24.
In a press release, Marcus Weedon, Director of Brockwell Live said: “With our current roster of Wide Awake, Cross The Tracks and City Splash we feel that Field Day slots into the May Bank holiday weekend perfectly, making it an unmissable date for 2025.”
This year’s edition of Field Day saw Justice and PinkPantheress headline, alongside performances from 2ManyDJs, Romy, Mura Masa, I. Jordan, Yves Tumor and Sega Bodega.
In 2022, NME headed to the festival, calling it one of the “most thrilling curations yet” and “a return to what it does best: showcasing the past, present and future of electronic music”, in a four-star review.
