Field Day and Underage Festivals
Two similar festivals in the same field, except to get into the second one you have to be between 14 and 18. Both days include sets by Santigold, Little Boots and Mercury nominees The Horrors, while the Underage line-up edges it with an appearance by star-in-waiting Marina and the Diamonds.
