That wonderful twice yearly jamboree that is Off The Tracks returns to Donington Park Farmhouse, Derbyshire Friday 30th August – Sunday 1st September.

Celebrating a glorious TWENTY FIFTH Anniversary in 2013, OTT has maintained a uniquely brilliant record for presenting consistently great artists in an absolutely wonderful environment. It’s much more than the music of course. Regular OTT attendees, and they do return year after year in their droves, will glaze over slightly and whisper ‘it’s all about The Vibe’ when asked about their twice year sojourn to sunny Derbyshire. This isn’t a festival – it’s a weekend house party with some of the finest people you could hope to meet... It really is that special. Our FFA’s reviewers absolutely love it. Read their reviewers of last year’s Summer event and 2013’s Spring event for just a flavour of what it’ all about.

This weekend’s event features the only UK appearance of Ozric Tentacles, and Leveller Simon Friend’s Seismic Survey, plus the likes of Dreadzone, Here And Now, and John Otway amongst much else.

The Off The Tracks (OTT) location is based in and around converted farm buildings with adjacent camping on a year round permanent camp site. Yep – permanent quality loos and showers! There is a real pub and diner on-site - Even better! Along with the barn stages they have a marquee in the farmyard for the summer event so the event is totally under cover! Like the sound of this?  Well throw in a real ale festival with 70+ beers, ciders, and perries to complement an extensive bar in the pub (and all at ‘pub prices’, because, er, it’s a pub!), and it’s shaping up nicely yes? Small enough to be intimate; large enough to have real substance, and when you add 25 years of festival experience and genuinely some of the most eclectic and inspired musical programming our reviewers have ever encountered, then you are maybe starting to get a feel for Off The Tracks.

Irrespective of size, some festivals may have ‘atmosphere’ but OTT has a ‘vibe’; sometimes so thick you could slice it. It’s full of those very special ‘festie moments’ where you wish you could bottle it and take it home. The cherry on the cake of course, is that the good folks at OTT offer you all this TWICE a year. Blimey!

OTT is one of those rare events where knowing the line-up in advance really doesn’t matter – you can trust these guys to consistently offer quality programming year upon year; indeed some of the lower order acts our reviewers have experienced have provided some of the best performances of the festival year.
