Field Trip is back for the first time since 2018! Field Trip is a fixture of the Toronto music festival season and it's good to see the festival back in action for 2022. They had taken a hiatus for 2019 and of course couldn't come back in 2020 or 2021 due to covid.
Field Trip returns for 2022 with a one-day festival, taking place on July 9 at Fort York Garrison Commons. I'm looking forward to the full Field Trip experience including a beautiful downtown Toronto venue, a great crowd, good food, lots to experience when not taking in live music, activities for the whole family, including the little ones, and, of course, some of the best artists from Canada and beyond.
It’s a pretty stacked line up with:
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
Peach Pit
Kurt Vile & The Violators
Lucy Dacus
The Halluci Nation
Valley
Busty and The Bass
Rheostatics
The Rural Alberta Advantage
Pierre Kwenders
Daisy the Great
Georgia Harmer
Ombilgizi
Get all your ticket information and other details about the festival at the Field Trip official web site. It's sure to be a great return for a Toronto-favourite festival. Grab your tickets, see you there, and watch this space for coverage after the festival.
Here's this year's schedule:
