Atari Teenage Riot, Chrome Hoof, Good Shoes, Egyptian Hip Hop and more added to Offset
Offset Festival 2010 is now looking like a genuine contender for festival of the summer...
If you thought Offset's 2010 line up thus far – a radical mix of cutting edge pioneers (Liquid Liquid, Cluster, Charles de Goal), critically lauded acts (Mystery Jets, These New Puritans, 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster) and brand new, hotly tipped, emergent bands (Flats, Factory Floor, Male Bonding, Comanechi) was outstanding enough as it is, brace yourself, because it is only getting better...
Joining the acts already announced are Atari Teenage Riot, Chrome Hoof, Egyptian Hip Hop, Good Shoes and many others, all of whom will play over the weekend of September 4-5, deep in the lush environs of Hainault Country Park, but a 30 minute ride away from London.
The mighty Atari Teenage Riot are headliners for Sunday, and a more apt way to close out this wildly revolutionary and groundbreaking festival cannot be imagined. Responsible for coining the phrase “digital hardcore” and virtually creating a whole new genre of incendiary, punk-driven electro, this rare live appearance is sure to leave an indelible impression. As will the live theatrics of the strange, and strangely compelling, Chrome Hoof, the London band whose “experimental orchestra” encompasses metal, electro, funk, disco and chamber music in their sound; not to mention a startling visual punch.
Meanwhile, Egyptian Hip Hop will lead the indie charge with their gloriously mutating brand of doss pop, where anything can and often does happen. Good Shoes will also be present and correct, playing short, sharp, bursts of indie brilliance from their new album 'No Hope, No Future', while French duo John and Jehn will have people swooning with their meltingly beautiful love songs.
Joining them are O.Children, Wild Palms, La Shark, Wetdog, Relics and more. See the full lineup here.
As can be seen, once more Offset are celebrating the new and established, the groundbreaking and galvanising, avant-garde and pulse-racing. And with this all-ages event boasting 8 stages, 200 artists and a huge vintage clothing fair, Victorian fun fair, village fete area, psychedelic sports day, nature treks, performance art area, craft workshops, delicious food stalls, fifties hairdressing salon and even a rare breeds farm, there is more reason than ever to make it to Offset in 2010.
