Due to the shitness of life, it looks as though I will not be attending either of these tasty music mash-ups, as either finance, distance, time, or work dictates, as usual. What a shame, as both look stella!! Both festivals are set to boast huge talent; a saturated plethora of the most exciting new bands for the next 12 months!
Outlook (top). This one is big, mainly as my mates from the Get Low cartel have bagged themselves a spot DJ-ing their best dub-step fare! You wouldn't have thought the Croats would be heavily into there dirty notes, fast bpm, or heavy reverb, but Outlook has grown year on year, and for £89 for a 4-day ticket, well... Roots Manuva, Mary- Anne Hobbs, Skream, Joker, and Plastician are among the big names hitting this abandoned fort location!! Alas, it ain't happenin'
The other. Offset (bottom). Hainualt Forest, London. Man, I can't believe I didn't sort this out! Tickets are a saintly £65 for weekend camping. A more straight up festival vibe, i.e. no forts, more fields. The line-up is decent, with Caribou, Egyptian Hip-Hop, These New Puritans, Mount Kimbie, Ali Love, Rolo Tomassi, Telepathe, and Kap Bambino the cream of the crop (for me anyway!!) On the face of it, Offset seems more along the lines of the 24-hour Vice: Tales of the Jackalope events, and is most probably better organised (not hard to surpass!)
So, not going to either, but would love to go to both! I will probs just end up spending the weekend listening to Joy Orbison and Everything Everything.
