Dialled In and Dalson Superstore will return to the festival this year alongside newcomers Gut Level, Cosmic Shop and more.
Having previously announced that 2024 would be its final year in its current format, Field Maneuvers is back for 2025. “You saved us with the Crowdfunder, you supported us when we said it was our last party, and since then, we have been overwhelmed with your messages of support and love,” the team behind the festival said announcing its return.
The festival will return to a secret Norfolk location from 15-17 August for a weekend of underground music and DIY club culture.
Dialled In, U-Haul Dyke Rescue and Dalston Superstore will all return with stage takeovers, as well as a 15-year anniversary Neighbourhood celebration.
Fresh faces include MI-El’s Pulling Threads, Hyperdub and Don’t Touch My Fro, as well as UKG champions House of Garage, Leeds community party Cosmic Shop, Sheffield queer-led events space and collective GUT Level, and Newastle’s Cobalt Studios.
“With community being what FM is built on, we’re very excited to welcome takeovers from Dalston Superstore, Low End Dreams, Dialled In, Neighbourhood, House of Garage and Pacifist Techno Sanctuary, who are all FM family who we’re proud to have worked with for many years and are integral parts of what makes FM the weird and wonderful beast it is,” the team said.
“We’re extending that community by inviting people that we’re huge fans of: Hyperdub, Pulling Threads, U-Haul Dyke Rescue and Don’t Touch My Fro – all amazing orgs who do their own thing for the right reasons. Finally, in a time when we’re seeing independent venues and promoters really suffer, we’re proud to be working with some of the UK’s most vital and fiercely independent venues, namely Newcastle’s Cobalt Studios, Leeds’ Cosmic Slop and Sheffield’s Gut Level – none of us survive without each other in this scene so we’re excited to welcome them all on board.”
Tickets are on sale now at Field Maneuvers’ website.
