James Blake, 2024

More artists have been added to the Field Day 2025 line-up, including James Blake and Digital Mystikz’s Mala.

Set to take place on May 24, the upcoming edition of the live music event will be held at Brockwell Park, London, as part of the Live Bank Holiday Weekender.

Already Peggy Gou has been confirmed as a headliner, and other artists announced included FolamourSkream & Benga, Mall Grab, Midland, Fatima Yamaha, Jayda G, Bubble Love, Girls Don’t Sync, Dixon and Jungle (with a DJ set).

Now, it has been confirmed that James Blake and Mala are set to perform a special back-to-back DJ set as part of the 2025 edition. It is their only b2b event planned for next year.

Other new additions to the line-up include Demi Riquísimo, who will be back-to-back with Matisa, Dresden, Emerald, Storm Mollison, Partiboi69, Regularfantasy, Yung Singh (with his own b2b set with Special Request) and Roza Terenzi. Visit here for tickets.

For the last four years, the electronic music festival has operated from Victoria Park in East London as a one-day event run by All Points East.

In October, it was announced by organisers that it would 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.

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.

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.”

The 2024 edition of Field Day saw Justice and PinkPantheress headline, alongside performances from 2ManyDJs, Romy, Mura Masa, I. Jordan, Yves Tumor and Sega Bodega.
