Sydney’s iconic New Year’s Day festival Field Day is going 100% electronic in 2025, revealing a stellar lineup of DJs and producers as part of its eclectic bill.
After similar events like Listen Out and Promiseland suffered late cancellations from rappers, Field Day has decided to stick with a selection of reliable electronic artists.
Next year’s one-day festival is headlined by UK dance duo Chase & Status, who only just toured Australia earlier this year alongside emerging star Luude. Speaking of the Tassie lad, Luude is also part of the lineup, performing a back-to-back set with Perth drum and bass legends Pendulum. Also topping the bill are American producer RL Grime, German DJ horsegiirL and Italian house music trio MEDUZA.
If those names don’t float your boat then the addition of English producer and DJ Wilkinson, UK-based Aussie house specialist Sonny Fodera, Amsterdam's JYOTY and Scottish producer Hannah Lang are sure to get you motivated to motor through your hangover and join the party at The Domain in Sydney’s CBD.
Tickets for Field Day go on sale at 11:30am this Thursday, October 24 via the Field Day website.
