After launching to critical acclaim in 2008, Offset Festival returns to the beautiful Hainault Forest Country Park – just a short 30 minute commute from London by tube – on September 5-6th.
The first announcements for 2009 are The Horrors, with a performance that will draw upon their critically acclaimed new album Primary Colours. Legendary post-punk group The Slits are the first of a number of influential bands to be announced, alongside pioneering punk-funk band A Certain Ratio – Factory Records’ second-ever signing. Welsh alternative group Future of the Left join these names, with over 150 new and iconic artists to be announced. Hardcore pioneers Rolo Tomassi are in, as well as Sheffield quartet Holy State and Factory Floor, who are supporting the Horrors all summer. DJs will include Douglas Hart from shoe-gaze legends Jesus and Mary Chain, plus guests from the UKs most innovative and exciting club nights.
Earlybird tickets are on sale now and priced at £45 with camping. For more information visit www.offsetfestival.co.uk
