Field Day returns to Brockwell Park on Saturday May 23, opening its gates at 12pm for a day of electronic music that will run until 10.30pm. The festival will begin taking last entry at 8pm, and there will be no re-entry once guests have gone in.
The event is set for Brockwell Park, SE24 9JU, a short walk from Brixton tube and Herne Hill, with parking for e-bikes near the festival. Organisers are actively discouraging driving, and tickets are still available on the Field Day website.
For Field Day, this is the second year back in Brockwell Park after a decade in east London’s Victoria Park. The late May Bank Holiday Weekend is when London’s summer festival season properly gets going, and Brockwell Park’s first three major events take place over that three-day weekend, with Field Day first up on Saturday.
The lineup includes Honey Dijon, Andy C, Eliza Rose, Floating Points and Interplanetary Criminal, a bill that reflects the festival’s long-running focus on club culture and dance music. That also helps explain why the return to Brockwell Park has mattered: the site now serves as the launch point for a weekend that will set the tone for the city’s festival calendar.
What makes this year’s Field Day worth watching is not just the move back to south London, but the practical shape of the day itself. With a hard 8pm cut-off for entry, no re-entry and music ending at 10.30pm, the festival is asking crowds to plan carefully before they arrive. For anyone hoping to go, the message is simple: get there early, or miss your chance.
