Summary

Thousands of festival-goers have flocked to Sydney's The Domain to celebrate the New Year's Day Field Day festival, undeterred by overcast skies and light rain. The iconic park transformed into a vibrant scene of colour and music as the event commenced at midday and will continue until 11 PM.
Field Day is making significant headlines for its commitment to safety, introducing voluntary drug testing in a groundbreaking move for NSW festivals. This initiative, recommended by the 2024 NSW Drug Summit, aims to minimize harm following recent overdose incidents at other events. On-site health professionals will offer confidential advice and support.
The festival boasts a stellar lineup featuring international headliners like Carl Cox, Deborah De Luca, Kölsch, and Patrick Topping, alongside popular Australian acts such as The Presets and Bag Raiders. Attendees are enjoying a full day of revelry and music, with safety and harm reduction taking center stage.
