CHANGE CITY :
Field Day 2009 has been dealt another blow, with Denmark’s finest Trentemoller pulling out of the NYD festival in Sydney. He joins Roger Sanchez, who cancelled on the event a few weeks back, having instead accepted an offer to play NYE in Germany. Sanchez’s agent claimed it was a simple booking blunder, however Fuzzy weren’t so forgiving in their official statement. “We are incredulous that this massive a mistake could have been made by an agent and act at this level,” they said at the time.
Back to the topic at hand, however, Trentemoller’s cancellation comes as a result of “serious personal issues.” It’s not all doom and gloom though, as Fuzzy have added a raft of new international and local acts to the Field Day bill. Joining Eric Prydz, who will now play Field Day in place of Sanchez as well as Shore Thing on NYE, the NYD party will also feature US nu-ravers Walter Meego, antipodean pop-princess Ladyhawke, German tech maestro Oliver Huntemann, the Bag Raiders live, JD Samson of Le Tigre, Mission Control and Canyons. There’s also the promise of ‘more to come’, so keep your eyes glued to inthemix for updates.
Tickets for Field Day are still available from Fuzzy.com.au.

locho says...
oliver huntemann oh shit yeh, memories of future 07 syd with him playing in that small lousy room at the racehorse pumping out a mad set
stu_jacks88 says...
To compare field day lineup with summafieldayze lineup is unfair and ignorant. Summafieldayze is a combination of the best from both Fuzzy and Future Entertainment as it is a collaborated festival. Field Day is field day, it will be fun for that reason when you're there with your friends. Its unfortunate that Roger Sanchez and Trentemoller have withdrawn, but that obviously hasn't been the fault of Fuzzy. They also state that there will be further announcements in acts...case in point Oliver Huntemann, etc. Have some faith and stop being so jaded.

All I can say about Fuzzy's Field Day is - karma. It comes around. You started with a great idea, it turns to rubbish. Instead of having good musicians and DJs turning up to a great crowd who want to hear good music in the domain, you now have a wave of kids who care nothing about what they're listening to as much as how good they look in their orange skin and fluoro shirts/shorts/caps, and how much GHB/Ice they can get into their systems before first aid get to them. Much as I'm a fan of Trentemoller and the S man, whether it was intentional or not, somehow the universe balances out....I swore last year would be my last and I'm glad. Something about having a random skank collapse overdosed on GHB in front of you at 3pm ruins the rest of the day.... As for Melbourne v Sydney - Sydney is still the better city and always will be. We still have Underworld and Eric Prydz NYE suckers. You have trams blocking all your city streets, AFL taking up all sport air time and a general surplus of hairy palm syndrome...
