Animal Collective, Tim Burgess confirmed for Field Day 2013

Animal Collective and Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess will perform at next year’s Field Day event in London, it has been confirmed.

The pair lead a raft of acts which have been added to the festival’s bill, which includes Bat For Lashes, Daughter, Django Django, Everything Everything, Four Tet, Fucked Up and Virals amongst others.

“It’s always a challenge trying to better the last Field Day line up but I think next year’s is as thrilling, inspiring and diverse as anything we’ve ever done,” promoter Tom Baker has said.

“I am personally honoured that Field Day will play host to the brilliant main stage double bill of ground breaking artists Animal Collective and Bat For Lashes, and alongside these, Zimbabwe’s Thomas Mapfumo, seminal drummer Ginger Baker and Ethiopiques’ legend Mulatu Astatke are true dream bookings for Field Day.”

Field Day will begin at London’s Victoria Park on May 25th next year, with early bird tickets available now priced at £45.
