Celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Oxford Times – in the suitably historic surroundings of Oxford Castle. The night, called Live & Unlocked, is headlined by local heroes Little Fish – and this month’s Nightshift cover stars, Secret Rivals. The show will take place in the landmark’s 11th-century crypt and 18th-century prison D-wing, with music also performed in some surprising corners of the iconic building – which has never before hosted a concert of this type.

Little Fish and Secret Rivals will be joined by the bluesy Tamara and The Martyrs, reggae stalwarts Dubwiser, folk-rockers Swindlestock, math-rock band Nairobi and dance-pop darlings Duchess. Also joining the party will be DJs from Smilex, The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band and club night YOOF!

The one-off event will also launch Oxford Castle Quarter’s Keeping it Local festival. As well as enjoying the ambience of the castle’s candle-lit crypt and former jail, concert-goers will be able to enjoy a drink from the bar, which will be set up in a converted prison cell. Elsewhere, revellers will be invited to relax on antique benches and take in a screening of Oxford film director Jon Spira’s documentary on the local music scene Anyone Can Play Guitar.
