Organisers of London’s Field Day festival have declared a “new era” with a change of location and date for 2025.

The Superstruct-owned event is heading back to south London’s Brockwell Park, having taken place in east London’s Victoria Park for the last four summers.

The relocation will see the festival take place in spring, as part of the Brockwell Live Bank Holiday Weekender run by Field Day co-founder Marcus Weedon.

Next year, the Weekender (23–25 May 2025) will see Wide Awake revert to its original Friday position, allowing Field Day to take place on Saturday and Cross The Tracks on Sunday.

“2025 seemed like the ideal time to host our own standalone event again”

Field Day was launched in 2007 and took place at Victoria Park for a decade before being moved south to Brockwell Park in 2018.

In 2019, it was relocated once more to The Drumsheds, a ten-acre former industrial space at Meridian Water, near Tottenham Marshes, in north London.

In 2021, the festival returned to Victoria Park as part of AEG Present’s All Points East (APE) event series, with an increased capacity of 40,000 and the production handled by LS Events.

Field Day festival director and Broadwick Live non-executive director Mark Newton said he is “incredibly excited” about the new location and date, which he says “solidifies our place at the beginning of London’s summer.”

He continued: “After four highly successful years collaborating with All Points East at Victoria Park, 2025 seemed like the ideal time to host our own standalone event again. The availability of both the new venue and date presented the perfect opportunity to do so.”

While Weedon added, “We’re looking forward to recapturing the independent nature of the event”.
