OFF Festival is a way of life, one that flies in the face of current trends. Here\u2019s 5 reasons not to miss this years event…<\/strong><\/p>\n

StartOFF as you mean to go on<\/strong>
\nTo get you in the festival mood our friends at P23 Club are hosting a special StartOFF party on 3rd August, featuring Krakow-based DJ and producer Eltron John spinning everything from disco to soul, house and techno. Byron the Aquarius, famed for his work with Warp, Giant Steps and Wild Oats, will be the second StartOFF guest. Next up is Austrian DJ Demuja, who will be bringing you his selections of disco, raw house and techno. For techno with a French flavour, stick around to hear a resident of the legendary Concrete Club, Paris DJ Antigone. To finish the StartOFF night with a bang, Urloop, a new breed of Polish DJs, will teach you some old school techno.<\/p>\n

Dance Non-Stop at the P23 Club<\/strong>
\nThe OFF Festival\u2019s new dance venue is the result of our partnership with the Katowice Porcelain Factory and P23, a mainstay of the city\u2019s nightlife. Drop by the P23 club every day for over eight hours of non-stop music, with producers and DJs from Poland\u2019s best clubs manning the decks. You might hear pretty much anything \u2014 from disco to house and techno \u2014 but we\u2019ve made a point of inviting artists who don\u2019t quite fit into the restrictive club music pigeonholes, like Abu Zeinah, who will be performing with a live (noise) act; Lutto Lento, who\u2019s bound to surprise you with some something as extraordinary as his recent dancehall remix for Resident Advisor; and Kosel, whose analog experiments defy any genre labels.<\/p>\n

A welcoming festival<\/strong>
\nOFF Festival regulars know all about this: tolerance and acceptance are the two cornerstones of our festival. It is a welcoming place for people with disabilities. As in previous years, festival guests with mobility impairments will have access to two viewing platforms, one in front of the Main Stage and another at the Forest Stage. Carers of festival attendees with mobility or visual impairments receive free entrance to the festival.
\nChildren under ten will be also admitted free of charge \u2014 let\u2019s turn them into a new generation of music fans and artists! And if you are parents or guardians, remember to drop by the PiaskOFFnica, where you can relax while the kids are taking part in games and workshops.<\/p>\n

A delicious, wonderful life<\/strong>
\nIf you want to get through our three-day music and social marathon in one piece, you\u2019re going to need plenty of energy. That said, the OFF Festival Food **Court has long been more **than just a place to load up on calories. Our food is prepared with organic and Fair Trade produce, with options for vegans and vegetarians, gluten-free and kids’ menus. We also put the environment first by sorting our waste and choosing biodegradable tableware.
\nWith a wide, sizzling selection of delicious international flavours, OFF gastronomic delights are guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning of gourmets. Treat yourself to BB Kings’ all-American BBQ or Diaments’ Silesian grilled food. Have a bite of Hocio’s vegan hot dogs or dig into Dutch soused herring prepared by Sztuka \u015aledzia. Whether you’re looking for Moroccan tajine or Polish pierogi, \u201cauteur\u201d wines or superfood smoothies, OFF is a foodies’ dream.<\/p>\n

Katowice, city of culture<\/strong>
\nThree Pond Valley will obviously be the centre of events at this year\u2019s OFF Festival, but we encourage you to explore the city of Katowice while you\u2019re here. Take a cultural tour of the city \u2014 there\u2019s plenty of good stuff going on.<\/p>\n

Is there a mathematical order in the world around us or is it a figment of our own imagination? Visit Galeria Szara to discover Szymon Kobylarz’ \u201cUnknown Unknowns\u201d, an exploration of the mathematical underpinnings of the most mundane objects and activities.<\/p>\n

Rondo Sztuki presents \u201cShure Shot,\u201d an exhibition of music photography by the regulars of Polish festival scene Joanna \u201cForta\u201d Kurkowska and Micha\u0142 Murawski. And whilst you’re there why not pop in to see \u201cKeep it Open?\u201d, an exhibition turned amusement park. Antonina Konopelska and Piotr Urbaniec invite the viewer to participate in games and expeditions where adventure is what\u2019s at stake.<\/p>\n

James Mollison’s \u201cPlayground\u201d is a joint venture by Katowice’s City of Gardens Gallery and New York\u2019s Aperture Gallery. Mollison is a critically acclaimed, award-winning photographer and author, currently travelling the world and collecting images and sounds of playgrounds to showcase the bright and dark side of the social interactions among schoolchildren.<\/p>\n
