Field Day Official Parties

It’s a staple in any self-respecting music fans calendar, and this year Field Day turns ten. Double digits are kind of a big deal, so the party won’t end once the gates shut. Get ready for these unmissable official pre- and after parties.

NO JOY
MONDAY 6 JUNE, MOTH CLUB
Building on tours with the likes of Best Coast and Vivian Girls, plus critical acclaim for last record Wait To Pleasure which received a huge 8.0 on Pitchfork, and with stage banter that outwits the best, No Joy will bring you the absolute opposite live.

PARADISE BANGKOK MOLAM INTERNATIONAL BAND
FRIDAY 10 JUNE, SHACKLEWELL ARMS
Duo Maft Sai and Chris Menist are the two DJs spreading the gospel of Thailand’s shamefully underrated funkadelica. Playing traditional molam music as the Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band, their intricate lute grooves, glitchy bamboo pipes and relentless percussion weave through soul, funk, dance and everything in between.

ATA KAK
FRIDAY 10 JUNE, MOTH CLUB
20 years went by before a serendipitous happening saw Ata Kak’s cassette fall into the hands Awesome Tapes From Africa founder. Armed with his afro dance-rap, his sped-up highlife plays like true tropical house, straight from Ghana. Lauded by Noisey and FACT, his remastered offering Obaa Sima merges funk-inflected breakbeats with glittering with synths and overlaid by rhythmic harmonies in the Ghanian Twi dialect.

DEERHUNTER (DJ SET)

DILLY DALLY
SATURDAY 11 JUNE, SHACKLEWELL ARMS
Dilly Dally’s sucker-punching indie rock is the type of band you need in your life. With a throat scratching delivery and a talent for riffs that would make J Mascis jealous, the Toronto quartet caused Pitchfork to compare lead singer Katie Monks to Kurt Cobain on new single Purple Rage. A rush of aggressive guitars, it brims with the kind of teen angst you never grow out of.

DJ KOZE, ROMAN FLÜGEL, GERD JANSON, AVALON EMERSON, LEMMY ASHTON
SATURDAY 11 JUNE, OVAL SPACE
The enigmatic brilliance of DJ Koze leads the line along with Hypercolour affiliate and all-round master of the craft, Roman Flügel. Not only that but Gerd Janson, the ever-rising Avalon Emerson and Bugged Out’s very own Lemmy Ashton pack out a seriously impressive bill.

THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE (DJ SET)
SUNDAY 12 JUNE, MOTH CLUB
Brian Jonestown Massacre’s shimmering hammonds and slack guitars certified them as the innovators of desert psychedelia. You’d know the apathetic drawl of Anton Newcombe anywhere. After 2015’s grandly ambitious Musique de Film Imaginé LP, the psych-rocking frontman will spin his finest selection of sun-drenched sounds into the early hours.
