Going to Field Day? Here are the stage times and our guide of who to see

Advertising

Over two days at a new Enfield site, you can catch a huge selection of maverick, innovative acts playing at Field Day festival. Here’s our guide to 10 must-see artists.

FRIDAY GUIDE

Earl Sweatshirt
Earl Sweatshirt channelled the pain and grief of losing his father (a former South African Poet Laureate) into the fuzzy sampledelic triumph that is his third album, ‘Some Rap Songs’. Watch the LA prodigy work his low-key magic on an unsuspecting festival crowd – it’ll be a (very laidback) riot!’

Kelly Lee Owens
Welsh producer Kelly Lee Owens has worked with Björk and St Vincent, and was a member of indie band the History of Apple Pie, but her recent pair of perfectly formed peaky bangers, ‘Let It Go’ and ‘Omen’, prove that she’s got plenty of party-starting tricks up her sleeve. It’s pulsing, driving, hands-in-the-air electronic bliss.

Mahalia
After supporting Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sandé, and generally slogging away at the music coalface, Mahalia has gained a well-deserved foothold in the UK’s thriving R&B scene. She’s been in tune with music for as long as she can remember, and you’ll hear this affinity throughout her performance of ‘Sober’ and other throwback gems on the Friday.

Tirzah
Tirzah has been quietly powering the UK underground for years with her offbeat excursions in avant-pop, wonky club and post-grime, but last year saw the Londoner step out into the spotlight with her breakout album for Domino, ‘Devotion’. You’ve definitely heard ‘Fine Again’, ‘Gladly’ or ‘Holding On’ by now, and if you haven’t, you’re in for a real treat when she takes to the stage.

Skepta
Skepta’s headline slot on the Friday night is a proper homecoming. The grime MC grew up in nearby Tottenham, in the much-fabled Meridian Estate, and this is his only London date of the summer. New album ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ is about to drop so catch the king of grime stirring up his kingdom – he’s one of the most exciting acts in the world, and you’ll soon see why (if you don’t know already).

SATURDAY GUIDE

Denis Sulta
Sulta is Glasgow’s dance music wunderkind and he’ll take you to infinity… and beyond. The production whizz and peak-time DJ has a selfless knack for selecting the tunes you really want to hear, the ones that really heat up the crowd. So why not join him in the rave for a clubby knees-up of the very highest calibre.

Sinkane
Sink your teeth into Sinkane’s socially conscious melange of psychedelic rock, reggae, funk – and everything in between – and you’ll be more than satisfied. The Sudanese-American traverses eras, styles and continents with his unique and joyous sound, a sunny constant in the face of London’s unpredictable weather.

JPEGMAFIA
Barrington Hendricks, aka US rapper and producer JPEGMAFIA, is a fan of noise music and this makes itself apparent throughout his kaleidoscopic breakout album, ‘Veteran’. Did we mention he was also in the military? Add to this a love of Hanson and you’ve got a sound that rabidly flicks through jazz-infused rollers to rabble-rousing rap, leaving no stone unturned.

Celeste
Celeste’s sumptuous, timeless soul will unlock a well of emotions that may even have you reaching for the tissues. Or for your phone, so you can text your mum. The LA-born singer dazzles like a shooting star in a deep-night sky, her smoky jazzy tunes belying her years. This is your festival moment of self-reflection.

Jorja Smith
Taking the headline spot on the Saturday night is national treasure Jorja Smith, whose sparkling debut album, ‘Lost & Found’, earned her a Brit Award and a Grammy nomination. And she’s worked with Drake. And Stormzy. And Kendrick Lamar. But she’s the sole ruler of her own soul-tinged, R&B-flecked, trip hop-drenched universe – see for yourself.
