Neneh Cherry has been added to the line up for this year’s Field Day festival, playing a set on the festival’s first day, June 7, in Victoria Park, London. The appearance will follow Cherry’s European tour in support of her new album, Blank Project, released yesterday and produced by Field Day veteran Four Tet – have a listen to ‘Out Of The Black’, featuring Robyn, from the album at the foot of the piece, and watch the site for a Baker’s Dozen with Cherry coming up soon.
