Returning for a second time, Brainchild Festival has announced this year’s line-up and it looks like a fucking masterpiece. See it in all it’s glory below.
Taking place from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th of July, Brainchild is a not-for-profit festival where many of the acts will be playing for free in support of the organiser’s ethos. Hotly tipped artists and Crack In The Road favourites, including Moko and Jamie Isaac, litter the line-up.
“We want to build a community that brings together emerging artists, poets, filmmakers and musicians in a forum of progressive ideas.” the organisers announced today “Really, this festival is a story of young people and their conviction to empower themselves, despite the media’s constant assertion that they are all just looking for a free ride.”
Once again some of the folk here at Crack In The Road played a hand in helping make this year’s festival even more mind blowing, working alongside the glorious Students For Happiness, Steez, Audio Doughnuts & Frozen Thumb.
Tickets are £58 for the full weekend and available here. See you there?
