The Norfolk festival celebrates its 10th anniversary this summer.
Field Maneuvers has announced the artists locked in to play this year’s edition – which is set to take place in a secret location from 18-20 August. Amongst the names confirmed there’s headline sets from DJ Stingray 313 and DJ Bone as well Timedance boss Batu and Glasgow’s Optimo. I.JORDAN, Bored Lord and Shy One have also been revealed for headline slots.
Elsewhere, Field Maneuvers welcomes Ahadadream, Zakia, Hannah Holland, Pxssy Palace’s Nadine Noor, Angel D’Lite and Daisy Moon, to mention but a handful of names on the stacked line-up. The forthcoming celebrations will also feature a series of takeovers – honing in on the community spirit at the core of Field Maneuvers – with Dalston Superstore, Rye Wax and Bristol’s Mix Nights all coming through to host takeovers. Other collectives joining include Dialled In and Black Artist Database.
Speaking on the milestone edition, the Field Maneuvers team shared: “A designer we once worked with said “FM is good at a self-deprecating tagline”. We hadn’t really noticed how consistently we were poking fun at ourselves until he pointed it out. And it’s true. When FM was started 10 years ago by a group of friends who liked to party, we didn’t know what we’re doing. We’re not promoters. We’re not DJs. We just wanted to put on inclusive gatherings with amazing artists, sound systems and visuals, with the sole goal of showing everyone a good time. 10 years on and we think it’s safe to say we’ve got a bit of experience in putting on a good party.”
“At the first FM in 2013 everything was done on a wing and a prayer and it was hard work persuading established artists to travel to a field in the middle of nowhere on the promise of a party,” they continued. “We’ve come a long way since then and after the uncertainty of last year and run a crowdfunder last year, we’re still pinching ourselves that for this 10th edition of FM it feels incredible to be collaborating with such iconic and uncompromising stage partners.”
