Field Day

How do you spend your New Year’s Day? Dozing your hangover away, or indulging in a unique botanic festival to keep the party going for just that extra mile? If the latter sounds at all tempting, then perhaps Field Day is of interest. Field Day is regarded as being synonymous with New Year’s Day for young, fun-loving Sydneysiders. The city’s original multi-stage outdoor party is renowned around the festival circuit for its unique vibes and friendly environment. There’s nothing quite like the gathering of friends coming together for a fantastic fun-filled first day of the year, in the gorgeous surrounds of The Domain in the heart of the city. There is something uniquely warm and fuzzy about Field Day, with an air of hope and positive energy in beautiful tree-filled surroundings, on a perfect Summer’s day. The music itself is the icing on an already delicious cake, bringing together an eclectic array of styles from indie-rock to hip-hop and everything in-between to create a day with something on offer for practically everyone. Kick off your year in style – have a Field Day.
