Field Day is an annual celebration of everything that's new and interesting in music. It's the sort of festival where people catch an Ethiopian organist who made his name in the '70s, then walk 200 metres across the park to hear a new instrumental grime DJ. Or you might be jumping to a buzz-band one minute and bouncing to the latest hip-hop the next.

This freshness and diversity is reflected in the crowd. Field Day takes place in Victoria Park, East London, and it attracts a cross-section of young people from across the UK and beyond with broad tastes and an ear for what's new. This year the sun was the other notable presence at the festival, setting a blissful tone for two days' worth of incredible music.

RA returned to Field Day in 2015. We cast the net wide on the lineup, and pulled in sounds from across the globe. Our stage began with the warm house tones of SAOIRSE and finished with the grandstand hip-hop of Hudson Mohwake. Below is a snapshot of how the day unfolded.
