Torontoβs essential downtown music and arts festival is celebrating five years with its biggest lineup yet.Β Β Field Trip has become the unofficial kick off to the cityβs busy summer festival season and this yearβs bill continues a tradition of curating a worldΒ-class, boutique music event inside the gorgeous and intimate confinesΒ of the city’s Historic Fort York & Garrison Common. Driven byΒ a love of community and discovery, Field Trip 2017 welcomes a rich program of not only music, but family-friendly programming, comedy and an exploration of Torontoβs culinary scene starring some of the cityβs leading entrepreneurs. All the music, food, drink and activities integrate with collaborative explorations on themes of visual art, technology, fashion and more, like nowhere else.
Saturday’s musical program will be headlined by Arts & Crafts flagship act and Field Trip I headliner Broken Social Scene. BSS will be supported by indigenous electronic trio A Tribe Called Red, whose 2016 release We Are The Halluci Nation has cemented them as one of Canadaβs most important acts. Other highlights include Alaska rock band Portugal. The Man. and a rare appearance by California rap legends The Pharcyde, celebrating 25 years of seminal debut Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde.
On Sunday, French giants Phoenix will co-headline alongside Torontoβs indie royalty Feist, who returns to Field Trip for the first time since 2013. Other Day 2 highlights feature the singular, jazz influenced sounds of BADBADNOTGOOD and Thundercat and a soulful set from Irish songwriter James Vincent McMorrow.
2017 also means another exciting year of Field Tripβs Day CampΒ programming, where families enjoy a range of immersive activities where music, education and discovery intersect like nowhere else. As with every Field Trip, children under the age of 12 can attend for free.
Field Trip V also includes a full, to-be-announced lineup inside the Laugh Barracks, an indoor comedy showcase stage with performances from some of Torontoβs funniest.Β And of course, 2017 will feature a new collection of artists in residence, working together to transform Fort York & Garrison Common into an unforgettable visualΒ exploration.
βToronto is truly one of the worldβs great homes to diversity and the intersection of creativity and community is alive in countless forms,β says Field Trip Co-Director Aaron Miller. βThe last five years have been a steady reminder of the festivalβs opportunity to bring people together. We take great pride in the intimacy and variety of Field Trip and a deep connection with the City of Toronto.β
βField Trip holds a special place in the hearts of the many contributors who work on the festival every year,β adds Erik Hoffman, Live Nationβs Toronto president. βCelebrating its fifthΒ edition, the festivalβs lineup tips its hat to founding artists who graced our stage in Year One while highlighting some of this yearβs most exciting new artists from around the planet. A true urban event, Field Trip has grown into one of Torontoβs flagship festivals and we couldnβt be more proud of it.β
