The basics
Even Berlin’s electronic clubs watch the Off Festival line-up and take notes. For trend-setting music, look no further.
The festival
While Croatia might be where the beach parties are at, OFF Festival in Poland has quietly been making a name for itself, cementing a reputation for hosting some of the most interesting line-ups in recent years.
Taking in electronica, rock, alt, folk, hip-hop, drone and a clutch of other genres, what matters here is the artists, their passion and their ability to work a crowd – something that’s seen Off Festival take off. You won’t find every other headliner here, and the festival gives as much space to the kings of tomorrow as it does today’s big hitters.
But it’s not all about the noise on the main stage, film-makers, poets and artists get a look in too. Oh and did we mention the beer’s cheap?
Our tip
If you’re not a tent person, don’t fear. Accommodation ranges from budget hostels to five star hotels. Or you can camp for that true festival experience.
