Offset is very nearly upon us and in the spirit of celebration, we’re proud to announce our final lineup for 2010, in all its exciting, esoteric, glory.
On an electronic tip, two of the most acclaimed, innovative acts around right now – Caribou and Mount Kimbie, are set to play live, showcasing tracks from their critically lauded albums, “Swim” and “Crooks and Lovers” respectively. Over on the main stage, the much beloved Art Brut are set to storm the day with their very distinctive strain of barbed, singularly British pop, while Pulled Apart By Horses will burn a hole in your cranium with their mind meltingly demented take on rock.
We are also excited to announce that White Heat, for the first time ever, will be hosting their very own stage at Offset, and for their debut outing they have collated a brilliantly eclectic lineup, ranging from Connan Mockasins’ fantastically twisted pop to Esben and the Witch’s spellbinding twilight gloom, to Banjo and Freakout’s gorgeous, layered, electronic-tinged soundscapes and Anna Calvi’s entrancing, guitar-led tales of love and loss.
