Background
On 27 November 2016, Richard D. James was revealed to be a headlining act for the Field Day 2017 music festival, being his first public performance in four years.[5][6] Field Day 2017 was scheduled to take place on 3 June 2017, with James performing on the same day.[7] London 03.06.17 was not previously announced to be released prior to Field Day.

Release
London 03.06.17 was originally released exclusively on vinyl on 3 June 2017. It was packaged in an Aphex Twin branded bag.[4] After Field Day concluded, many fans were outraged due to scalpers and other attendees reselling the record for extremely high prices.[10]
On 20 July 2017, with the launch of James' Bleep store,[11] London 03.06.17 was re-released digitally. It originally launched with six bonus tracks,[12] however this was later expanded to eleven as of April 2024.[3] This digital re-release was now titled London 03.06.17 [field day].
On 17 December 2024 the tracks of London 03.06.17 were re-released onto streaming platforms as a part of a new compilation album, Music from the Merch Desk (2016–2023).[13]
