ITM Exclusive: Field Day update - Sanchez is out, Prydz is in!
Created On October 21st, 2008 by i_have_ADD
In a rather interesting turn of events Fuzzy have revealed exclusively to inthemix that US house music heavyweight Roger Sanchez will no longer be heading down under for Field Day 2009. It’s not all bad news, however, as Sanchez’s cancellation has made way for the one and only Eric Prydz to step in and fill the void! That’s right, the legendary Swedish producer will now play Field Day on his debut visit to Australia, as well as Shore Thing on NYE alongside Underworld and The Presets.
“Despite Field Day getting 100% booking confirmation in writing, approval of billing, artwork and playing time from Roger Sanchez’s agent way back in September (before we began advertising),” Fuzzy said in a statement released today. “His agent has informed us that Roger is also booked to play New Year’s Eve in Germany and cannot come to Australia.”
“We are incredulous that this massive a mistake could have been made by an agent and act at this level,” the statement continued. “However every cloud has a silver, or in this case perhaps platinum, lining: Eric Prydz will now be playing at Field Day, as well as a host of other acts to be announced soon, in our opinion improving the already stunning line up.”
Eric Prydz joins the likes of Santogold, Boys Noize, Digitalism, Jamie Lidell, Adam Freeland, Switch, Busy P and many more on the Field Day line-up. For all the latest on the NYD event, including news updates, DJ mixes, videos and more, head to inthemix’s festival page.

summadayze lineup is still better. even if prydz is on the field day lineup. his name looks better next to ferry and underworld. instead of santagold and digitalism
walkdogz says...

The3rdPlumpDj says...
thats interesting... but really... who cares which line up is better... i dont care for ferry or santo... i think the line ups all round are great this year... but anyway.. NYE then FD09 in syd.... i guess that would have to mean he is doing an early set at field day... i can really only imagine him closing...

Fewsion says...
this is massive! massive! massive! was certainly not going to FD to see Sanchez. Prydz on the other hand is a whole new ball game. I don't care that I'm seeing him at Shore Thing, I don't care if he plays at 11am when gates open, I'm very much going!!!!!! FUZZY ARE BACK!
MessyDJ says...
Roger Sanchez = Balls Prydz = Yeeeeeahhh booooy!

PRYDZ in twice in two days what a way to first end 2008 and second start 2009! Prydz/pryda is unbelievable cannot wait! and recycling? its his first time to Aus and wont be surprised if its his last, he has a MAJOR fear of flying! Switch and boys noize shit on ferry and get to see underworld on ny's heck yes !!
JezInDMix says...

mjaymix says...

"asil86 says... on October 22nd, 2008 OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. My prayers have been answered. I cant sit still!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCKED IN ANYONE MISSING OUT ON FIELD DAY FOR SENSATION!! BAHAHAHAHA" are you serious or just stupid? prydz's playing at melbourne summadayze on new years day. so everyone goin to sensation who will undoubtedly kick on to summadayze will also see him. idiot. and i would much rather see underworld and ferry than god damn digitalism.
