Unfortunately Glaswegian rockers Dananananaykroyd have had to cancel their appearance at this years Offset Festival.
The band’s recording schedule has been postponed a week meaning that they are going to be out of the country on August 30th recording their album.
The fantastic Dead Pixels will, however, be replacing them and we have also confirmed the legendary Black Devil for a super-rare live performance on the Last.FM stage.

We would like to apologise to anyone finding the website slow. Since the initial lineup was reported on the front page of NME announcing Wire, Young Knives and Ipso Facto, the website has been mobbed with hits.
We strongly urge you to order your earlybird tickets now to ensure you don’t miss out - earlybird tickets are strictly limited and cost just £35!
We will be announcing the rest of this years lineup in the forthcoming weeks, be sure not to miss out - join the mailing list here and add yourself to the Facebook event page here.
