I'm thinking about it
as I could go home every night and avoid the camping and it is pretty cheap. Also Fightstar.
Yeh I'm staying at a mate's house next to the site
Should be sweet.
Gang of Four
Maccabees
Metronomy
Young Knives
Tom McRae
Blood Red Shoes
Furthest Drive Home (FARNHAM boys!!!) as well.
you should use
wegottickets.com. Will be much cheaper.
their google link is even cheaper than we got tickets
http://www.offsetfestival.co.uk/tickets
i'm actually considering it
cause i will be in london around that time, but i would only be able to go on the saturday, and i wouldn't be camping. HMMMMMM.
oh, and
facebook event!!!!!1
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=14383164993
I was going to
then I saw the list of bands and thought there would be too many pork pie hats and pointy shoes for my liking.
Cheap though innit, so might venture out if I can be bothered, if only to laugh at the scenesters.
pork pie hats?!
haah
i think it'll be a good mix, not just east london kids! loads of nice artists like Tom Mcrae, Dive Dive, Hot Club De Paris etc...not just trendy bands!
i for one won't be wearing winklepickers
will there
be any moustaches there?
I'm going
so yes!
No pork pie hats in Colin's Tent!
We Rock Like Girls Don't are playing Colin's Tent 4.30pm Sunday.
Not a pork pie hat or pointy shoe in sight!
Big riffs, big boots, big tunes from debut album out 27th October.

i believe i am going
and also staying in a friend's house nearby. WIN!
Same
In Chigwell.
c u there dantrip
im going on sunday but my friend that got me in is working there so you have to be my friend thanks
I just looked at the lineup
Shit, I knew Gang of Four and Wire, but Johnny Foreigner, Dananana..., Hot Club, Chrome Hoof, Drum Eyes, Grabba Grabba Tape, Maths Class as well?
I might have to be there. GRABBA GRABBA TAPE!
if it doesn't sell out too quickly i'm certainly there
so are Suicide playing then?
That would sway it for me.
it won't
sell out pretty sure although is a lovely looking little festival
.
Day tickets are on sale now...
XX Teens
and Future Of The Left just confirmed too, according to Facebook...
and eth website
...
i am FUCKING WELL EXCITED
about this festival
Load.Click.Shoot!
this is
going to be so much fun...
West Ham are playing at 3pm on Saturday...
So I'll miss 4 hours of the festival, 2pm - 6pm. Still worth going, right?
Deffo!
Yeah, certainly worth going still.
Ha...
...me too. Thankfully it looks like most of the bands I wanna see won't be on during that time so I won't have a repeat of Field Day last year when I missed all the bands I was interested in while we got played off the park by Sven's united nations who'd hardly even trained together.
i'm probably going to be at work
till about 5 so I'm sort of in the same boat too. The only thing I'm worried about is getting there! It's off the beaten track so I wouldn't want to spend ages trying to find the site.
it's
like 5 miunutes away from hainault station. on their site it says they're running buses from upminster station as well
i just looked on a map
and hainault station's at least 2 miles away. You must be power walker. If they're running buses throughout the day, that'd be cool.
no i'm not linford christie, sorry, i meant on the bus.
i've only been once but i seem to remember getting a bus from across the road and it took like 5 minutes.
which is pretty sweet, as that = oyster card journey the whole way.
I'm going!
Truck festival goers get a discount (see program).
I think so, yes.
£40. Be rude not to really, wouldn't it.
Indeedy
Will be good to see Johnny Foreigner and Blood Red Shoes again. I'm sure I'll wander around and find loads of other stuff I like.
i'm getting very excited about this now
going to be great...
I'm hopefully going to be working there
I'm not missing gang of four though
Load.Click.Shoot!
are playing, yay!
my band are playing
yah!
but everytime another band gets announced we go futher down the list.
boo!
I'm going.
Oh and read some LOLsome comments on the facebook event.

Yup
How could I not? Black Devil, Wire, Chrome Hoof and Gang of Four :D
Does anyone
have any idea what time bands finish. I don't want to camp.
new bands stage?
was sposed to be announced 28th july but there's not been any news at all...
any one know owt?
It's a comin'....
Be patient, this will be announced soon.
I'm playing!
who
are you!?
reveal, reveal, reveal!
yeah!
tell all!
4 or 5 Magicians
www.myspace.com/4or5magicians
We're playing on the Saturday apparently. I bet we clash with Johnny Foreigner, we always seem to clash with Johnny Foreigner!
nice :)
Fear not...
The plan is for headline bands to finish in enough time for those people who wish to catch the last tube home and the last tube from Hainault is 2349 hrs on the Central line.
http://www.lasttrain.co.uk/
A useful site for everyone!
That's good news.
Thanks!
I got this reply in May
so things might be slightly different:
"We're making sure headline bands finish in time for the second from
last tube, so that there's no risk of people missing the last tube.
The smaller tents will continue running afterwards, however, so the
festival won't grind to a halt if you decide to stay and get the night
bus back to London!"
.
isnt that what rubbafish just said? :)
my post
has more info that I thought other people may find useful. Particularly those camping over. But you can disagree if you like.
Dese Zones
WOTZ the nightbus situation from the event, then. Is it easy enough to get All The Way Back to East London from the Outer Hebrides there?
_
Get the N8
It goes into Bethnal Green throughout the night
Sorted
Really? The N8 from there? Wicked. Job's a good'un.
_
Tickets
are also available at Rough Trade East - weekend, weekend w/camping, day tix ...
is anyone else camping?
i bought a camping ticket a while back..kind of thinking i didnt have to and could have probably have gotten home! oh well. should be fun hopefully.
3 weeks now.....
Getting excited.
Colin Tent Update
Quick update.
Sadly Vox Pop had to pull out so they are no longer playing and Fangs are now performing Saturday.
Also, thanks to Muxtape I have made two brief samplers as to what you can expect from the C.T. Saturday and Sunday. Hope you enjoy!
http://offsetsaturday.muxtape.com/
http://offsetsunday.muxtape.com/
ITS GOING TO BE AWESOME!
announcement
today apparently... thats from the horses mouth.
ox.eagle.lion.man among the new names apparently
Has everyone got their tickets yet?
Going to get mine tomorrow.
in
inininin
still no announcement
offset said last week though "Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man, Kasms, The Ghost Frequency, Underground Railroad and more just announced! "
so there's a few to tide you over until they sort out what day of the week they think it is
ox eagle...
and underground railroad would be aces...
nothing on their site though...?
nah
they've let me down again. as far was ox.eagle etc. goes; that was posted on last.fm by the offset account though so its legit. i just want more to be announced. good stuff; main stage could be better. the website was saying 4 more to be announced for each day on the mainstage so got high hopes.
lineup updated
what a let down. the main stage is pretty pathetic, thee vicars? fight like apes have been bumped up a stage. the music might be good but i was expecting a few more mainstream acts (aka emmy the great, lightspeed champ, mystery jets, art brut etc.) to be honest
Just seen it all and it looks great.
Fuck seeing Lightspeed Champion appear at ANOTHER festival this year. I'll be off to see:
Gang of Four
Wire
Chrome Hoof
Metronomy
Die! Die! Die!
Victorian English Gentlemens Club
Ulterior
Maths Class
Johnny Foreigner
Prinzhorn Dance School
Johnny Foreigner
Radioclit
Underground Railroad
Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man.
That's a pretty darn good weekend right there...if I wanted to see Mystery Jets I'd go to pretty much any festival this summer...
yeah fair enough
but out of your list of 13, four (Gang of Gang Of Four, Metronomy, Prinzhorn Dance School, Radioclit) are headlining on the same day so there'll be some clashes. and only one of the 30 odd announced today is on your list to see. there are some really good bands playing yeah, but i was just hoping for a bit more. for £55 though i guess we can't complain!
It says at the top that headliners won't all be playing at the same time.
It's stupidly cheap for all those bands, I can't fucking wait.
Indeed
That was my next point.
'PLEASE NOTE: Headline artists on each stage will be staggered, so you will be able to catch overall headliners and smaller stage headliners! We're also working to ensure clashes are as minimal as possible.'
For what it is worth...
... I can tell you I approached 3 of those 4 mentioned for the Colin Tent. MJ as you can see on this site have had to pull a load of dates, whilst there is no Art Brut we have got Glam Chops which is Eddie Argos side project.
Also remember that Emmy and AB played the last TMF festival and we try not to repeat the same line ups.
Are Danananakroyd not playing now?
I'm sure they were on the line up?
AGREED
They were on the line up and are not anymore. God knows why.
oh yeah...
oh well, there's loads of other stuff
thats annoying
was looking forward to them.
Same
I would of at least liked to see what all the fuss is about.
true
me too!
wat the hale... i have yet to seem em live :(
another pull out
cry for silence - in case anyone cares, they've split up.
the sound fucking shit to me so no loss.
To The Bones...
are also playing the rock stage on saturday the 30th. late afternoon.
that's lame
i was looking forward to them in a silly metal way :(
