DEAR READER, Summer brings with it sunshine, barbies and plenty o’ bare legs alongside hundreds of festivals. Yet none of them are quite as seductive to the ears, or eclectic, as London’s Offset Festival. Now in our fifth year, the line-up has never been so striking. The Mystery Jets bring their beautiful folk rock to the mainstage for Saturday evening alongside the textured majesty of New York’s Liquid Liquid. Closing the weekend Germany’s political, techno group Atari Teenage Riot are supported by the lush, musical panorama of Caribou. In this issue of Offset magazine we look back to how it all began, delve deeper into who you’ll be hearing from in 2011 and remember the 2009 headliner Arianne Foster of The Slits. We’ll also be adorning, pampering and serenading you for the summer’s festivities. Enjoy and we’ll be seeing you in September.

What do you love most about the summer?
Hmm I like picnics in the sun paired with a massive jug of pimms.
The thing I love most about summer is your nan in a bikini.

What do you love most about the summer?
What do you love most about the summer?
The long days because it doesn’t get dark until 10! And wearing sunglasses.
Ignoring all commitements on the basis that it is sunny and taking pictures. Oh and wearing socks and sandals.
