In Photos: Field Day 2024

An impeccable, party igniting Justice set crowned a day of quality music, with the likes of Yves Tumor, Yaeji, Sega Bodega and Romy combining to create a celebratory atmosphere in Victoria Park.

As Romy took to the expansive East Stage in the early evening of this year’s Field Day, a double rainbow broke out in the open sky. As she burst into pumping, queer, euphoric dancefloor movers over her hour-long set, it opened an atmosphere of celebration and hands-in-the-air joy, which early heavy rain had threatened to wobble off balance.

But in setting the stage for a Mura Masa DJ slot, before a headline, packed-out and ground-shaking Justice live set, it was an energy that continued to build until the evening’s final kickdrum, as the pioneering French duo played a storming slew of juiced-up hits, eventually closing out the proceedings with a raucous rendition of their 2007 classic D.A.N.C.E.

Having organised its very first edition in Victoria Park in 2007, Field Day has become a veteran of London’s day-festival calendar. It’s now been folded into the extensive All Points East offering, centring its second weekend on Saturday, 24 August at its original home, and coming off the back of 2023’s Aphex Twin headlining edition, it feels enduringly strong in an ever more competitive London day festival space.

Beyond the East Stage, Yves Tumor brought their avant-garde art rock and bombastic stage presence to the festival’s West side, sharing the bill with John Glacier and Charlotte de Witte, while Sega Bodega and former Crack cover star Yaeji took to the CUPRA North Arena. It was a day of quality programming, production and crowd energy. Relive some of the artists in action via the pictures below.
