MUSIC and arts will take a field trip to Wharfedale as a three-day festival sets up camp on Addingham Moorside.

Independently organised festival, Fieldtrip, will take place from tomorrow until Sunday.

This compact and bijou affair focuses on fun and participation, taking inspiration from the promoters’ world festival travels.

There will be cider stalls, a hand-picked selection of street food, live comedy and kamikaze karaoke, mud wrestling, craft stalls and acrobats as well as rap battles, a secret cinema and oodles of local real ales from Yorkshire breweries.

Fieldtrip is described as an intimate, 1,500 capacity camping soiree, with the emphasis firmly on attention to detail, with a wide variety of live and electronic music, spread across seven specially designed arenas.

Each arena will have its own themed environment, to make it a much more inclusive and magical experience.

Musical genres include drum ‘n’ bass, dubstep, funk, garage, house, reggae, soul, and techno.

There will be plenty of participatory games, performance artists, no expense spared production and myriad other little flourishes to ensure Fieldtrip has a feel-good factor that harks back to a simpler, more fun and engaging time before the corporate world took over.

As well as a lovingly hand-picked selection of local musicians and performers, there will be a smattering of international talent to really finish the festival in style.

The music ethos is about quality, not what’s hot at the minute.

And DJs will include Gargrave-born Luke Pompey, 28, who first hit the headlines when he got a DJ slot at Ibizan super club Cream Amnesia at just 18, and two years later supported Tiesto when Galaxy FM invited him to play at the Privilege Club.

He has played to crowds in excess of 10,000, alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.

Now based in Leeds, he has set up his own record Label - Love Not Money Records - and, since launching in late 2011, has signed more than 100 local artists.

Organisers said: “We want people to leave the festival with a new favourite band or DJ. Fieldtrip is a fun-filled, friendly affair that brings together the best creative and cultural offerings Leeds has to offer and does so with love, understanding and a welcoming smile on its face.

“This is one summer trip you don’t want to miss.”
