The first ever Offset festival arrives with a bang this summer, organisers confirming that Wire will headline the event in east London.
Taking place in Hainault Forest Country Park, Redbridge – about half an hour from London on the Central Line - Young Knives, Chrome Hoof, Ipso Facto and Make Model will also play the inaugural Offset, alongside over 100 other acts yet to be announced.
Those acts will line-up across seven stages – hosted by the likes of Last.fm and Southend’s fine Experimental Circle Club – set in what’s described as “idyllic woodland, surrounded by lakes, wild deer and even a zoo”.
Like deer? Like zoos? Like influential, innovative art-rock, indie and electro? Early-bird tickets go on sale today, (1st May) priced at £35 (£45 w/camping) for the whole weekend, Saturday the 30th and Sunday the 31st of August.
More news on this promising new event will be with you, via us, soon.
