Offset Festival will be taking place on August 30-31st at Hainault Forest, a beautiful location just 30 minutes from London on the Central Line. The event will feature 7 stages of music with a license for 9,999 punters, and over 150 bands and DJs.
Escape from the capital and spend two amazing days partying in idyllic woodland, surrounded by lakes, wild deer and even a zoo, all whilst taking in some of the most cutting edge bands of the moment.
Offset aims to join the dots between exciting new artists and their influences. The 2 main stages will feature renowned new bands playing artrock, indie, rock and electro, topped off by hugely influential artists from the post-punk/rock scenes. The first, hugely influential headliner is now announced as WIRE.
REM, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, The Cure and Blur are just a handful of the bands who have cited Wire as a major influence on their work, with artists like My Bloody Valentine, Minor Threat, Henry Rollins and Fischerspooner covering their tracks. Critic Stewart Mason writes, "Wire expanded the sonic boundaries of not just punk, but rock music in general."
5 smaller stages including a dedicated Dance Tent will host new and cutting-edge bands and DJs through out the day and night. From the likes of Last.fm, Artrocker, Girlcore, Drowned in Sound, DiscError and Experimental Circle Club. |
