Click ahead to discover the acts you'll be feasting your ears and eyes on at Field Day Festival 2016.
![PJ Harvey: This multi/wildly talented genius of a woman is the only act to win two Mercury Prizes. Having covered everything from grunge and garage rock to folk and everything in between, she's recently been combining music with poetry and spoken word to mould truly a live experience like no other. She hasn't released any solid projects since 2011's Let England Shake, but maybe she's saving some surprises for next year's festival run. Expect this to be one of the greatest headline sets that London sees in summer 2016.]()
