Thank you to everyone who has already supported OxjamBrum this year. Our Takeover Festival 2010 is on Saturday 16th October. This is the big one folks!

12 hours of musical delights from 40 of Birmingham’s best unsigned bands. For just £6 advance you can purchase a wristband which will give you access to every venue all within easy walking distance of each other. So why not bar-hop whilst raising money to help those living in poverty across the world.

All six of our venues now have tickets on sale with no booking fee. Or book online at www.oxjambrum.org.uk or www.wegottickets.com/event/92563. Advance tickets will be on sale until midnight Friday 15th October.

There will be tickets available on the door on Saturday.

As well as playing host to some live pop and funk The Yardbird will be our wristband exchange for the day. Please bring your reference number or ticket to this venue first. We’ll have all the crucial stage times for you so you can plan your route around the venues. Wristbands need to be collected before 9pm.
