IN ENGLISH:
Brenn Alt presents OffLane fest! A one-day festival that explores newer forms of punk and hardcore.
🗓️ September 5th 2026
📍 GSF Skatepark
14:00 - 23:00
This first year we are focusing on branches of the genre that are not so common to see here in Norway, and this year’s festival focuses on France and the UK! Early concert start, and home before midnight - because at a outside venue in OldTown we take care of the neighbor, and don´t keep making a racket until the wee hours of the night!

🔥 BANDS 🔥

MCLUSKY
Mclusky are a rough-and-tumble trio from Wales, formed in 1998 and led by vocalist and guitarist Andrew Falkous. The band made their UK debut in 2000 with My Pain and Sadness Is More Sad and Painful Than Yours (Fuzzbox). After releasing their third album in 2004, the band went their separate ways in 2005.
The band reunited in 2015, and in September 2023 they released a four-track EP — their first new music in 19 years — entitled Unpopular Parts of a Pig. The title track, along with the second track "The Digger You Deep", are said to be taken from the band's upcoming fourth studio album.

SLUG BOYS
Slug Boys' concerts always balance on the edge between post-punk elegance and total chaos. There is as much chance for triumph as for complete collapse.
The debut album LISTEN TO SLUG BOYS was released in late 2025, and the songs have received much praise in the Norwegian press, with regular radio play. The album is thematically diverse, from big politics and self-loathing to bad inside jokes. Musically, it is just as unpredictable: hard punk side by side with ambitious and grandiose songs.

CHEST.
chest. is a post-punk/noise rock band from Paris, France. This group of five friends offers their vision of the music scene they love the most, influenced by all the artists they encounter in their daily lives.United by their love for noisy effects and loud decibels - without sacrificing catchy choruses and melodies - their shows are cathartic parties where everyone is invited to dance, mosh, and sing along. Having opened for prestigious international acts such as DITZ, KNIVES, or Heavy Lungs, and played on stages ranging from Rock en Seine to La Maroquinerie or Dublin, these five are set on making their music resonate with the widest possible audience.
Before their first EP “All Good Things Ends” was even released in February, they were part of the “NME 100” selection for 2025. The release was then followed by shows across France, England, and Europe. Single by single, they are preparing their debut album, expected in the second half of 2026.

INVISIBLE HAND
With a punk pedigree few others can claim, this is probably the coolest addition we could have had to an already fine lineup. Kenneth, Toshi, Mathias and Christian have collective experience from bands such as Problems, Negativ, Purple-X, Knuste Ruter, Arnfinn Nesset & Death Is Not Glamorous - and happily share the ethos of 'Punk forever' with us, with their well-crafted hardcore punk infused with a good dose of energetic rock'n'roll!

TRUEANDTRUE
Trueandtrue mixes hardcore, post-punk and screamo into an uncompromising, energetic and chaotic expression. With two EPs and a number of singles, the band has achieved both national and international recognition from media outlets such as Stereogum, Dagsavisen, Distorted Sound and NRK P3. In its 6/6 review of the single “SOFTSKULLSEASON”, Dagsavisen praises TRUEANDTRUE’s intense and emotional sound, and calls the song “an almost perfect opening”.
"Just as you think you’ve figured out their formula, you’re left wanting more”
-Distorted Sound
“A band you can both cry and two-step to”
-Lillebror Magasin

KÅTE KLØR
Kate Klør plays garage-rock infused with blues references, energetic riffs and intense live-energy. Fuzz guitars, thundering drums and sharp lyrics are the music's description, which can be heard on the albums “Pessimistopia” (2021), “Kunsten Å Kriga” (2023) and “Georg” (2025). New music on the same plate as 2026 and no other music will be heard until OffLane in September
