Best Festival in North America

April 8, 2003

Have you heard of the Field Day Festival? Me neither, until today. All of this is unofficial, but based on this image, it is highly likely. According to greenplastic.com, the festival will take place in Riverhead, NY on June 7th and 8th. A formal announcement will be made Monday. Here is the lineup, for those too lazy to follow the link.

June 7th
Radiohead
Underworld, Belle & Sebastian, Sasha & Digweed, Spiritualized, Thievery Corporation, Beth Orton, The Streets, Sleater-Kinney, Groove Armada, N.E.R.D., Lee Scratchy Perry, The Raveonettes, The Music, My Morning Jacket, Jason Mraz, Layo & Bushwacka

June 8th
Beastie Boys
The Strokes, Sigur Ros, Blur, Flaming Lips, The Transplants, Royksopp, Interpol, Liz Phair, Le Tigre, The Rapture, Tortoise, The Polyphonic Spree, Ben Lee

The lineup is fucking amazing. I would want to go see every single band on the 8th. I hope this list is totally accurate. Just tell me where to sign up.

i'm the field day web and print designer, and the lineup is so so wrong! the image that some sneaky person found is from 3 weeks ago. so trust me, there's no point in advertising the lineup.

I know there is supposed to be a big announcement on Monday about the lineup, but could you at lease post as to whether the lineup is as great as the list on the old page - same kinds of acts?

From what I've heard, this is still relatively accurate. Of course, it's all conjecture right now. I guess we'll all find out in 3 days.

Beck's website has him playing the Field Day Festival in New York on June 7th, so add that to the already amazing lineup.

there are some definite changes in the lineup, but some people may not even notice because other bands are accurate. i'm more a fan of the smaller bands, so it was a bigger deal to me. but i'm still going of course, and the vibe is the same as far as the type of bands playing.

Hi,

This is a real shot in the dark but, reguarding the field day festival- I know theres a presale going on thru ticketmaster up until tomorrow night... By any chance have you received any info reguarding the promotional code that you need to have access to the presale? I'm having the hardest time getting a hold of it ! And I'm wondering if there is some magical mailing list that went out without me knowing of this mysterious code.. Any idea?

Thanks,
Holly
