New York's Field Day Fest to feature Radiohead, Beck
Radiohead and Beastie Boys top the bill of the inaugural Field Day Festival, a two-day event in New York that will feature more than 30 acts.
The concert--which will feature multiple stages, art installations, performance art and "other forms of self-expression"--is set to take place June 7 and 8 at Enterprise Park in Calverton, Long Island, which is about 70 miles east of New York City. Organizers plan to stage the event annually.
Radiohead, Beck , Underworld, Thievery Corporation and others will perform on the event's first day. Beastie Boys, Sigur Ros, the Roots and Blur are among the acts confirmed for the second day. The lineup for each day is listed below; more acts will be announced.
Tickets go on sale on Friday (4/18) at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. According to organizers, single-day tickets, two-day passes, and two-day passes with camping will be sold. Ticket prices will increase as the event date approaches. More details are available at the Field Day Festival's official website.
The Field Day appearance will mark Radiohead's first North American concert in nearly two years.
