As well, Field Trip 2016 promises the return of the Laugh Barracks, its indoor comedy showcase featuring performances from some of Toronto’s newest and best loved joke tellers.

Field Trip 2016 will also feature numerous artists in residence, each helping to transform Fort York into an unforgettable visual exploration. Adding to that experience will be Field Trip’s second custom virtual reality experience, inspired by one of the festival’s performers and free for all attendees to try.

“There are many amazing festival experiences available to people these days, but we take great pride in the intimacy and diversity of Field Trip, and the deep connection we have with the City of Toronto,” said Aaron Miller, Manager of Events at Arts & Crafts. “Field Trip guarantees something for all of us, and something new each and every year.”

Last year’s festival included performances by My Morning Jacket, Alabama Shakes, Rhye, Purity Ring, Marina and the Diamonds, Arkells, The War On Drugs, and more.

The Field Trip Music Festival will return to Fort York in Toronto on June 4th and 5th.
