Offset is brought to you by the team behind TMF Rock Festival. Starting as a small one day event and growing into an 8000-capacity festival, the decision was made to relaunch with a new name, location and offer even more...a full weekend of great music.

It's set in the lush Essex countryside, the event features over 150 artists performing on 7 stages. Offset provides a unique festival experience - with ticket prices kept

low and quality kept high. Weekend tickets are priced at just £45 or £55 with camping included.


Stages will be curated by Last.fm, Experimental Circle Club, Club Artrocker and east London's Girlcore collective, with bands and DJs hand-picked to represent the most exciting performances from the UK and beyond.


Renowned London club night Girlcore host the dance tent,with live performances and DJs from some of the country's most celebrated clubs,including; Durrr, Trailer Trash, Get Rude, Boombox and Bugged Out! DJs on other stages include acid house legend Terry Farley and residents from Junkclub, EXP CIRC, The Sect and many more.


Headline bands will finish in time for people to make the short tube journey back to London - with the party continuing for campers and those making it back on the night buses.


LOCATION: The beautiful Hainault Forest at the easterly end of the Central Line - just 30 minutes from Central London.
