After four successful years in Victoria Park, Field Day is heading south to its new home in Brockwell Park. The festival will be joining events like Wide Awake, Cross The Tracks, City Splash and Mighty Hoopla, which bring a broad range of music and culture to audiences across London. Field Day will now be part of the Brockwell Live Bank Holiday Weekender, taking place on Saturday 24th May 2025.
Speaking on the new location, Mark Newton, Field Day Festival Directorsaid:
“The Field Day team [and I] are incredibly excited about our move to Brockwell Park and our new May date, which solidifies our place at the beginning of London’s summer.
“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.”
“We look forward to working with the Brockwell Live team and joining their lineup of successful events in the park.”
Marcus Weedon, Director of Brockwell Live said –
“We’re incredibly excited to have Field Day returning to Brockwell for 2025. The festival has been a firm favourite in London for many years and we’re looking forward to recapturing the independent nature of the event.”
“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.”
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, 23rd May 2025.
Speaking on the new date in a statement, Keith Miller, Wide Awake co-founder and booker, said:
“Over the last 5 years Wide Awake has carved out a niche that we’re proud of. Changing dates allows us to keep the same artist budget, keep the same production values we have created and also keep average ticket prices similar to the last few years.”
“We really want to dig in and keep building on what we’ve been doing which is supporting new artists and giving opportunities to acts who are on the rise as well as reintroducing the odd legend! It also gives you a long weekend to lie down in the recovery position.”
