Offset festival is one of the latest and greatest additions to the festival circuit, boasting more from the underground scene than the Central Line on a Monday morning (coincidentally how you’d get there in the first place). We check out why it was so good last year and what’s made the second event impossible to miss.
These days a decent line-up usually comes hand in hand with a bank balance crushing ticket price, and even when you splash out the hundred pounds on camping in a mud bath you’re still a good hike away from any bands that may be thrashing it out on stage. Offset gives you the cheap camping (in tepees!) and an unparalleled line-up that includes The Horrors, Kap Bambino and Good Shoes, minus the Duke of Edinburgh trek, debt-inducing prices and risk of drowning.
Since it’s only half an hour outside of the capital on the tube, Londoners can even go home instead of camping at all, making it the ultimate Ocean Village of festivals. But should you decide to rough it overnight, instead of waking up to any other weekender’s ‘picturesque’ views of collapsing tents and mud-covered festival-goers, you’ll be camping in a gorgeous forest, home to rare wildlife and amazing views. But if Spring watch isn’t exactly your cup of tea, there’s art presentations and a funfair to keep you busy between bands.
Keep up with us to find out how it goes.
