I really enjoyed last year's festival (particularly Forest of Sound), and the line up this year is just as epic, and also includes Jonquil and Worriedaboutsatan.

Now entering its fourth year, Brainwash Festival has cemented itself as an integral part of the Leeds music calendar. Combining a diverse selection of UK and international artists with Leeds’ finest, we aim to promote good music for a good cause. This year we will be looking to aid the work done by Unicef, Leeds St. Gemma’s Hospice and Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

Highlights for this year include Jaga Jazzist returning to the UK for the first time since 2005 for one of only two UK shows in 2009 on the Thursday; Chickenhawk displaying Leeds’ raw underbelly on Friday; Hot Club De Paris and Pulled Apart By Horses bringing the house down on three stages on halloween at the Brudenell/ RPC; Efterklang and Oceansize teaming up in Stylus for our first foray into Leeds University to close the Sunday, with South Africa’s BLK JKS and Grammatics (returning to headline Mine after a 23 date tour with Bloc Party) on the second stage.
