The OFF FESTIVAL, August 1st - August 3rd
A truly unique boutique music festival, OFF Festival takes place annually in August in ‘Three Lake Valley', Katowice - a beautiful green oasis in the heart of industrial Silesia. OFF Festival is a way of life, one that flies in the face of current trends and stays true to itself, and the ethos of organiser Artur Rojek is firmly aimed at supporting art and music with the festival bringing many acts to Poland for the first time.
Acts already confirmed for OFF Festival Katowice 2014 include Belle & Sebastian, Neutral Milk Hotel, Michael Rother presenting the music of NEU! and Harmonia, Glenn Branca and his orchestra, Deafheaven, Chelsea Wolfe, Holden (live), Oranssi Pazuzu, Fuck Buttons, Perfume Genius, 65daysfstatic, Wolf Eyes, clipping. and Rose Windows.
Over the years, OFF has amassed its own demanding yet appreciative audience who come to witness Artur Rojek's musical vision come to fruition. Having gained and a well deserved reputation in Poland and abroad, it's not without reason that it has been said and written that OFF is the best alternative festival in this part of Europe and the only place east of Berlin where one can catch a glimpse of the boldest and most eclectic acts on stages worldwide.
As well as music, OFF features a number of accompanying events: film, art, performance and poetry. It's also an event that keeps the environment in mind - all food and drinks come in environmentally-friendly packaging and there is a big emphasis on recycling. It's a completely safe place, an event where diverse tastes and appearances are welcomed and where everyone is the same because everyone is different.
