    The acts will play across a total of six stages while there will also be other entertainment provided including welly throwing, tug of war, Burlesque dancing, barn dancing and a hoedown tent.

    Speaking about Field Day Eat your own ears promoter Tom Baker said: "We wanted to create an event that had a really strong but somewhat different line up to other festivals, something that has a European feeling where new exciting rock bands play alongside electronic acts and also include more diverse and leftfield acts.

    We did an event a few years back called Return of the Rural which celebrated the countryside and drew influences from that of a village fete but within an urban setting, we are planning similar themes for Field Day"
