The festival’s lineup, spread across three stages, crammed into one afternoon many of the same headliners who played Victoria’s three-day Beyond the Valley festival, making for some tough choices: between Grammy-winning Canadian producer Kaytranada and England’s Patrick Topping, Australian music festival favourite Dom Dolla and Belgian techno sensation Charlotte De Witte.

Ultimately, the 20,000 or so in attendance were split between America’s Diplo on the main stage and Bicep, the DJ duo who started out in clubs and warehouses in Belfast and now fill festival fields. The latter capped off Field Day 2023 in a similar vein to their Glastonbury slot earlier in the year, with a mix of two of their biggest hits, Glue and Apricots — accessible acid-house inspired tracks that had the crowd in raptures.

Diplo, meanwhile, blasted confetti into the crowd while mixing Men At Work’s Land Down Under into the same set as Pitbull’s Hotel Room Service. The result might be slightly jarring, but ultimately gave the crowd what they came for: the chance to see some of the world’s biggest acts at a major music festival, all just a surge-price Uber away from a cool shower and a real bed.
