With the final line up announced, OFF Festival lives up to its name as Europe’s ‘Best Medium Sized Festival’ staying true to its musical roots with some of the best new and cutting edge artists set to play at this years edition.
Taking place in the beautiful green oasis of the 'Three Lake Valley' in Katowice from 3rd to 5th August, OFF Festival remains a way of life, one that flies in the face of current trends and with an ethos aimed at supporting art and music with the festival bringing many acts to Poland for the first time. With something different and less mainstream on offer, OFF should be on the 'to do list' for any discerning festival goer.
New Additions
With a host of eclectic artists already announced, the final acts to be confirmed for this year's line up include Mazzy Star and Chromatics who will hypnotize you, while Dam-Funk will wake you up and get you moving. Artists Daughn Gibson, The Band Of Endless Noise, Hanimal, Obscure Sphinx and The Stubs will bring a futuristic country, a post-metal steamroller, and relentless punk’n’roll to OFF and the post-punk Savages and the noisy act known as The Twilight Sad are the latest additions to this year’s Radio 3 Stage lineup.
