Offbeat Festival Announces Music Programme In Partnership With BBC Introducing Oxford
Offbeat today announces the festival's music programme in partnership with BBC Introducing Oxford. The line-up features Oxford's best up and coming bands, wordsmiths and singer song-writers performing over four days across two stages, the Gallery Stage and the Festival Stage, at the Old Fire Station. The Gallery Stage features a free programme of spoken word, acoustic music and singer-songwriters in front of Kazem Haziki's acclaimed Portraits from A Chip Shop exhibition. The Festival Stage hosts the headline acts featuring jazz, folk, electronica and pop/R'n'B from Wandering Wires, Dolly Mavies, Low Island and Haula.
Offbeat is Oxford's new fringe festival, now in its second year, which presents an extraordinary and eclectic range of performance across theatre, comedy, spoken word, music and dance. Acts this year include comedians Mark Thomas and Viv Groskop, theatre productions including Room, a one-on-one experience for a blindfolded audience member, and Wrecked taking place inside a crashed car, as well as a dance programme featuring celebratory Kathak dance (Aunusthan), and new work by world-class choreographers in triple-bill Organic Entity. Over half the shows are UK premières, a quarter created by local Oxfordshire-based artists and all new to Oxford. Ticket prices for all performances will be £10 or less
