Yeah, yeah - there will be some music. But, more excitingly, bands will battle each other at Tug of War at this August's Field Day festival, held on August 11 at London's Victoria Park.
Battles - pictured - will pit their muscles against those of Foals (wait, surely Foals have a one-man advantage...? Suppose they are small, though). Gruff Rhys will take on Kieran Hebden, and the third and final contest will be between the Fence Collective, with James Yorkston, and the Mystery Jets... insert your own parathesis here.
The action begins at noon and lasts 'til 10.30pm. Among the other acts confirmed to play are Liars, Justice, Fridge, Vetiver, Pull Tiger Tail, Bat For Lashes, Archie Bronson Outfit, Alberta Cross, and Laura Marling.

mystery jets are going to get destroyed :(
the only chance foals will have
is if they stick walt at the back with some spikes in his shoes and make him lean backwards...
John Stanier
could indeed beat Foals by himself.
just imagine
how big that man's guns are.
'guns'

my girlfriend
just got off tour with battles. john stainer turned to her - about an inch from her face - and asked her to wind the windows down.
this alone struck her with fear.
*as well as an orgasm, most likely
the man is the musical chuck norris.

ouch
just found out about this. if it wasn't for stanier i think we'd have a fighting chance. however, walter used to be a rower and i don't think he's lost his vip passes to the gun show. either way we're probably going to get owned...hopefully in a nice way. /jack
Mystery Jets
