The Offshore Festival was a camp-out rock and alternative music festival held during Easter at a farm near Torquay, Victoria, Australia from the late 1990s to 2001. It was run by the same organisers as the Falls Festival, held at nearby Lorne on New Year's Eve. It interlinked with the Rip Curl Pro surfing event, held at nearby Bells Beach and festival ticketholders had free admission to the surfing event.
The festival reached its peak in 2000, when it sold a capacity of 20,000 tickets. The organizers moved the event to the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds (home of the Big Day Out) the following year.
Over the years, the Offshore Festival featured a large range of artists including Blink 182, Silverchair, Tool, Rollins Band, NOFX, Pennywise, L7, Primus, Cosmic Psychos, The Living End, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, The Wailers Band and more.
