"There'll be a plethora of ground-breaking bands and DJs to keep even the most seasoned festival reveller entertained and inspired.

"I was born and raised in Norwich, so it's so nice to be able to bring something like Wild Fields to the city where everyone's invited."

Originally due to be at the Raynham Estate near Fakenham, the decision to move to the city was brought on by production costs and wanting to bring the event closer to the audience base created through the team's other music offering, Wild Paths.
