Osfest was an annual music festival held at Oswestry Showground, organised by Seventh Sense Management.
Plans for the festival were made public in December 2009.[1] The first show took place in 2010 and featured headliner Lemar alongside a variety of local and national acts.[2] [3] [4] In 2014, the festival was postponed until August, reportedly due to difficulty booking acts in May.[5] Following the 2014 edition the organisers announced that the festival would not return for 2015 and for the foreseeable future.[6]
Osfest was held on the outskirts of the Shropshire market town Oswestry. The showground is host to a variety of farming markets throughout the year, including the Oswestry Show.[7]
The 2012 headliner was Razorlight.[8]
