Victoria Park's annual village fete, complete with apple bobbing, welly throwing and a Cabaret Tent picks up some of this year's most interesting acts with a huge offering of bands, DJs and performers spread over six stages. Eat Your Own Ears spread the blanket for Caribou, who is touring his lush summer tracks from Swim, followed by four-piece Phoenix, who in turn are touring their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, before DJs sets from London dubstepper Ramadanman, lone swordsman Andrew Weatherall and Giles Peterson. Adventures In The Beetroot Field in tandem with last.fm unfold the sun umbrella for Matthew Herbert's One Club, a warped DIY techno experiment recently unveiled at Sonar. The notorious Bugged Out! pick Modeselektor and Apparat's supergroup Moderat alongside Border Community chief James Holden on their side of the fence, following a DJ set from Simian Mobile Disco. On the hopeful Bloggers Delight stage, post-dubstep newcomers Mount Kimbie churn out similar sounds to their short but sweet RA podcast next to the dark, luscious ambience of Pantha du Prince, while Village Mentality (crew behind Field Day) host German Thrill Jockey veterans Mouse On Mars. This perfect day in the park holds up well despite the alleged curse, as summer this year seem on Field Day's side, and promises to brighten up picnic baskets with sonic treats.

NB: the official Field Day Afterparty takes place at Cable and includes among others Fake Blood, Andrew Weatherall, DJ Mehdi and L-Vis 1990.
