This year’s multi-venue, multi-band Oxjam Oxford Takeover takes place on Saturday 13 October. Several warm-up events have taken place in the lead-up to this, the biggun, with a whole host of local musicians pitching in across four Oxford venues. It’s all raising money for Oxfam, and the smart money’s on an all-venue wristband which can be bought for a marvellously reasonable £10.
Here’s who’s playing at each of the venues – which open at varying times from 4.30 pm. The music’s set to end at midnight:
