Joining her on the South Stage are French disco wizard Folamour, Ross From Friends’ side project Bubble Love, Liverpool collective Girls Don’t Sync, Canadian powerhouse Jayda G, and Rinse FM regular Emerald. It’s a lineup packed with boundary-pushing energy and feel-good vibes.

For bass heads, The Bowl is where you’ll want to be. Skream and Benga reunite for a set that promises to bring the old-school dubstep energy they helped pioneer. James Blake and Mala’s back-to-back set adds depth to the stage, while Special Request and Yung Singh bring an electrifying blend of jungle, garage, and techno. Throw in rising names like Y U QT, 4AM Kru, and Storm Mollison, and you’ve got a stacked lineup from start to finish.

Celebrating over three decades of dance music history, Bugged Out returns to Field Day with a lineup that reflects their influence. Jungle (DJ set) headlines alongside Dixon, whose A/V show has been wowing crowds. Midland brings his genre-fluid sound, and Fatima Yamaha will deliver a live set bound to captivate. New names like Demi Riquísimo, Matisa, and Tarzsa ensure there’s plenty of fresh energy to complement Bugged Out’s legacy.

Corsica Studios, known for its diverse programming and DIY ethos, is bringing the underground heat to Field Day. Their lineup includes Hessle Audio co-founder Pangaea, rising techno star Roza Terenzi, and a live set from Spray feat. Spritzz. Dresden -a collaboration between Ivan Smagghe and Manfredas - will add an eclectic twist, while Regularfantasy keeps things unpredictable.

Sisu’s ethos of supporting women and non-binary DJs is reflected in their stellar stage lineup. You can catch Ariane V, Calaida, Chickie, and Jezebelle delivering high-energy sets alongside rising talents like inda Flo and ŌKAMI. Sisu’s grassroots, community-driven approach makes their stage an essential stop for anyone looking to discover new talent.

Mall Grab heads up The Green stage, bringing his signature raw energy. Joining him are Modeselektor, VTSS, Partiboi69, SWIM, and AK Sports. It’s a lineup that promises sweaty, high-energy sets, perfect for losing yourself in the music.

The lineup doesn’t stop there. Hessle Audio’s Pangaea and Do!! You!!! radio host Sarahtonin are just two of the additions rounding out the bill. London-based garage DJ Lu.Re, Ibiza regular Nicola Bear, and enigmatic producer Fall Forward are all set to bring their unique sounds to the festival.

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".
