Was supposed to be a bit of a disaster last year. Awful sound. Cool lineup though.

 

[the departed]

oh yeah i heard last year was messy. i pulled out of it last minute last year as a few bands cancelled. cheap as chips though so i guess you really cant go far wrong.

 

[ernesto]

yay! looking forward to this

 

[quasiquasi]

I've got a ticket - it's cheap and not too much of a journey for me.

I think the organisers have put a lot of effort into fixing the problems they had last year. If they manage to screw up a second time, nobody will ever come back.

Oh, and "Lindstorm" is doing a set as well, according to http://www.fielddayfestivals.com/

I had assumed it was his less talented twin brother, but yeah probably.

Is this the yoke in the square near the Co-Op, near the other square in Shoreditch?

No, it's the big fuck-off park that runs from Hackney to Mile End, where the anti-racism thing was held last weekend, and where Lovebox is held. Am tempted to go but have heard such dire reports of last year...

 

[oh shit]

last year was a joke
a sick joke

 

[Lolo]

Just won me a pair o' tickets, wooo! No times on the website though, anyone know what time anyone's on?

try one of the external places listed here, they might still have them in the Lock Tavern or the Amersham Arms:

Good forward planning, the weather was awful.
I arrived pretty late on so didn't have to bear the
worst of it. Was good though, only went to see the
field and richie hawtin, both of which were great.

 

[ernesto]

i heard it was a bag of shite and i was lucky to have missed it.

 

[paul-]

yeh, probably would have been the case if you spent the entire
day there.
i was only there the last two hours of it though so no complaints.
