Offset Festival!
Words by Chris Harding
This weekend sees the return of our favourite artrock/electro festival. Offest is in its second year, but it’s already starting to attract an amazing lineup, with the Horrors headlining with their cosmic noise alongside the Slits and 70’s icon Damo Suzuki. And the Futureheads. And Danananakroyd. And Metronomy. There’s pretty much everything you’d ever need, what with these and 150 more bands.
In fact, there are exactly 24 bands playing that make me want to kiss whoever organised Offest, and considering it only costs £45 if you don’t camp and £55 if you do, I reckon that’s a pretty good deal - £1.88 per band. Anyway, I highly recommend heading down, and if you do, look out for me. I’ll be the one in a morph suit, covered in LEDs. It’s a new look for me, but I like it.
