Preview: Field Trip 2022: 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 and many more


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:

I’ve covered a few of this year's Field Trip artists in the past. Click through on the artist or venue names to check out those shots.

I caught an opening set by now-headliner Nathaniel Rateliff at The Horseshoe Tavern back in 2014.

The Halluci Nation, formerly A Tribe Called Red, performed at Riverfest Elora, Hillside and Field Trip.

Busty and The Bass brought the funk to Hillside and Riverfest Elora.

The Rural Alberta Advantage performed at Riverfest Elora and The Wolf Island Winter Ball.

I've captured intense sets from Haviah Mighty at Royal Mountain Records and Riverfest Elora.

Pierre Kwenders was at Field Trip 2018.

I've also covered Field Trip for several years. Links to all my coverage at the following links:

Field Trip is always a highlight of the summer festival season. This 2018 edition was extra special. There were so many of my favourite acts that I was either seeing for the first time or was seeing put on some amazing performances. This was my first time seeing Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley, Bahamas, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Haerts, Allan Rayman and more. I experienced great performances from bands I'd already seen before including Metric, Japandroids, Partner, Dizzy and Ellevator.

There were also a number of new discoveries for me; artists I wasn't familiar with going in that I walked away a fan of. These included Middle Kids, Allie X, Liza Anne, Jacob Banks, Pierre Kwenders and Charlotte Cardin. This is absolutely one of my favourite things about music festivals; discovering great new artists.

Please click through on the links below to check out photos of each artist, my thoughts on each performance and music from each artist.

I've loved Yeah Yeah Yeahs for a long time. Probably since I first heard tunes from Fever to Tell. I seem to have a memory of a video of a rather unhinged daylight performance by the band that had me captivated.

For whatever reason, I've never seen the band live before. So I was looking forward to Field Trip to not only get to see and hear the band live, but also to get to photograph these legends of the alternative music genre.

Well, as I'm fond of saying, they did not disappoint. They played amazing tunes from across their catalogue and sounded amazing doing it. Now I'm down to looking forward to seeing the band at Osheaga.

Here are my favourites from their killer set.

"Gold Lion"

"Zero"

"Sacrilege"

"Maps"

"Y Control"

"Heads Will Roll"

"Cheated Hearts"

"Date With The Night"

Allan Rayman roamed the Field Trip stage like a modern-day Jim Morrison. Or, at least, how I would imagine a modern-day Jim Morrison would roam a stage in 2018.

Anyway.

Allan Rayman exudes presence and magnetism. All eyes just followed him as he danced and sang. His music is danceable, and soulful, and catchy. Taken together, there's quite a performance package in an Allan Rayman show.

Give him a listen:

"Word of Mouth"

"Verona's Obsession"

"Go My Way"

"The Cage"

I've seen and photographed Alvvays many times over the years. In my early days of concert photography, they seemed to be at a number of the same shows as I was.

And the indie pop darlings were at Field Trip, too. They put on a crowd-pleasing set of tunes from across their self-titled debut and Antisocialites.

Some tunes:

"Adult Diversion"

"In Undertow"

"Archie, Marry Me"

"Dreams Tonight"

"Next of Kin"
