A beautiful musical fling at the OFF Festival: Fontaines D.C., Georgie Greep and Snow Strippers to perform in Katowice
The »best band out there« from Ireland, a Detroit electronic-music sensation, and a musical visionary from London. We're opening the OFF Festival 2025 lineup with a bang. Tickets are now on sale.
The first headliner of next years's OFF Festival Katowice (August 1-3, 2025) is Fontaines D.C. Recently hailed by Elton John as the »the best band out there right now,« Fontaines D.C. have also garnered acclaimed from the NME and won the 2023 Brit Award for Best International Group. They're returning to the OFF Festival seven years after their first performance. It was here in Katowice, at the music festival organized by Artur Rojek, that the Dublin quintet played their first Polish show, before the release of their first LP.
»I clearly remember Fontaines D.C.'s first show in Poland, at the OFF Festival,« Rojek recalls. »Just as I remember the astonished reactions of the audience to this little-known band at the time. It was exactly the kind of musical surprise that brings people to the OFF Festival.
You come here to discover and explore new artists, to fall in love with music. So I'm all the more excited that we'll come together for another Fontaines D.C. show, seven years later, after they've gone from an obscure festival sensation to one of the hottest bands in the world.«
At the OFF Festival, Fontaines D.C. will be performing their first Polish show since the release of their fourth full-length record, Romance. It comes at a particularly interesting moment in their careers, as they expand their post-punk sound with hip hop, pop, and alt rock, on a release the NME calls »their most considered and intricately crafted work yet.«
The first weekend of August, Katowice will also host a performance by the acclaimed electronic act from the Motor City, Snow Strippers. The duo met on Tinder, bonding over their shared love of the 2000s, raves, and EDM, trance, techno and electropop. They're still going strong at sold-out shows and festivals all over the world. Their fanclub includes Lil Uzi
Vert, who's expressed his admiration for the act with two co-produced tracks. Tatiana Schwaninger and Graham Perez's music draws frequent comparisons to another duo, Crystal Castles, but they like to tell audiences to ignore labels, instead inviting them to come to their shows and feel »something.«
The excitement continues with a set by the musical visionary Geordie Greep, who's making his return to the OFF Festival in August, joined by a different lineup than before. In 2019 he played in Katowice with Black Midi, which was hailed as »the most progressive band in London.« Six years later, similar superlatives are being applied to his first solo album, The New Sound, where jazz and prog rock collide with the sound of a Latin-American big band. Recorded in Brazil and England with a team of over 30 musicians, the LP is impressive in its breadth and sound. Critics have praised it as »fascinatingly enthralling« and wondered how material this intense is going to sound live. We'll find out at the OFF Festival, August 1-3.
Some people love them, others can't stand them. »So-called Irish language rappers« is what one character calls them in the acclaimed film Kneecap. Filmed in the vein of Fight Club, Trainspotting, and Guy Ritchie productions, the story of this Belfast-based hip-hip trio scored an audience award at Sundance and is Ireland's Academy Award entry. But more importantly, it put the band on the map, with the LA Times comparing Kneecap's explosive message to Eminiem in his early years. The NME called their sophomore effort »poetry on the cubicle wall of a wild night out,« while the Guardianhails them as »one of the most controversial bands [...] since the Sex Pistols.« Kneecap's music combines Irish lyrics, punk fury, humor, and rebellion against authority. They sound great on Fine Art (produced by Toddla T and featuring members of Fontaines D.C.), but they're even better live. Find out for yourself at the OFF Festival.
Kneecap will be released November 29 in movie theaters in Poland. Distributed by: Gutek Film.
»Too songful for dubstep, too modern for folk,« critics once wrote about him. While journalists struggle to pin him down to a specific genre, artists like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, and Rosalía regard him as an invaluable collaborator, vocalist, and producer. A multiple Grammy nominee and two-time winner (including Best Rap Song for a track co-produced with Killer Mike), he has followed his own path for over a decade, filled with outstanding electronic music and extraordinary sensitivity. On his 2023 album Playing Robots Into Heaven, he returned to his club roots, blending dubstep with house, techno, and ambient in a captivating way. And in August 2025, James Blake will perform here as one of the most inspiring and exceptional creators on the contemporary music scene.
An idol for fans of cloud rap, experimental pop, as well as fashion, film, and photography. Swedish-born Ecco2k is a multi-talented artist who has been active in show business since the age of 16, when he began developing his own clothing brand. Today, he is one of the founders of the acclaimed cloud rap collective Drain Gang and the creator of groundbreaking solo projects that blur the lines between music and visual arts. Those who have seen Ecco2k live describe it as an experience not to be missed. So, don´t miss his performance at the OFF Festival.
From the American press: if Charli XCX´s Crash was the perfect soundtrack for the last party-filled summer, then MJ Lenderman´s album Manning Fireworks is equally fitting for the following autumn. Rolling Stone hears echoes of great melancholy poets-Neil Young at the forefront-on his latest album, while The New Yorker confirms that the artist, born in 1999, is rightly called the next big hope of indie rock. Known as a member of the band Wednesday and for several highly acclaimed solo albums, MJ Lenderman is also hailed as a young master of storytelling. He will perform in Poland for the first time at the OFF Festival!
»I close my eyes and process the emotions I feel without needing to say anything,« is how Nala Sinephro describes her music. Journalists debate whether she plays spiritual jazz or a unique form of electronica, but rather than dissecting it into genres, it's better to immerse yourself in sounds that heal-literally. For the London-based, Warp-signed, Caribbean-Belgian artist, playing the harp is a form of therapy she invites listeners to join. Her compositions carry mystical and meditative qualities, created in collaboration with artists like saxophonist James Mollison from Ezra Collective, Kokoroko's Sheila Maurice-Grey, and Black Midi drummer Morgan Simpson. You'll feel them resonate in your body at the OFF Festival. Quelle: Veranstalter
