Music festivals are back as New Year’s Day partygoers shrugged off the distant specter of Covid lockdowns to celebrate 2023 in style at the first big event on the concert calendar of the year.
Field Day is in full swing at The Domain in sydney with bands starting at 12:00pm on Sunday and revelers pouring into the parks from mid-morning dressed in colourful, edgy and, in some cases, extravagant party clothes.
Nearly 20,000 ticket holders flooded the gates and made their way to the three arenas – Center Field, Left Field and The Island – as the opening acts kicked off.
Center Field, the main stage, opened with Jade Zoe and was attended by Tkay Maidza, Benee and Kaytranada with headliner American producer and superstar DJ Diplo set to hit the stage around 10pm
The Island and Left Field are headlined by Irish electronic duo Bicep and Texan rapper Mike Dimes, respectively.
2023 marks the 21st anniversary of Field Day with organizers Fuzzy Australia hosting the event since 2002, although they have missed the odd year, most recently 2021, which was rescheduled and eventually canceled thanks to the Delta Covid wave.
The event bills itself as “Sydney’s hottest boutique music festival, known for a super-friendly atmosphere and quality lineups that mix hip-hop, house, indie and electronic artists from around the world.”
Fuzzy was born from a partnership between nightclub lighting operator Ming Gan, DJ John Wall and ‘assertive’ door girl Adelle Robinson, who joined forces and began hosting events at Sydney’s famed Home nightclub in late from the 1990s, branching out into outdoor festivals shortly. after.
