Overview
It's not every day that Thom Yorke just happens to turn up at your festival. But that's exactly what happened last year at the inaugural OutsideIn.
Taking that as a pretty good sign, as well as the crowd’s intensely positive response, promoters Astral People (Tom Huggett, Lee Danilewitz and Vichara Edirisinghe) are back for another round.
The festival aims to capture the energy and scope of an outdoor Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival and reproduce it inside. This year's lineup features Hermitude, Freddie Gibbs, Astral People presents Since I Left You, BadBadNotGood, Jam City, Objekt, Laurel Halo, Mark Pritchard, Cosmo's Midnight, Oisima
Andras Fox & Oscar Key Sung, Rainbow Chan, Snakehips, Wave Racer, Willow Beats, Elizabeth Rose, Movement and I'lls.
After headliner Zomby's cancellation, there are also two new sideshows scheduled for 21 and 22 September. Sideshow 1 features Objekt, Laurel Halo and Jam City on Saturday, 21 September 21, at the Civic Underground, and sideshow 2 sees Freddie Gibbs, BadBadNotGood and Snakehips take the Oxford Art Factor stage on Sunday, 22 September.
Ultimately, Astral People are hoping to take OutsideIn nationwide.
