NOT figured out what to do on Saturday? Head down to the Oxjam Kilburn takeover, pick up a wristband and take your pick of more than 40 acts at The Luminaire, The King’s Head, Power’s, The Good Ship and The North London Tavern.
The day is part of Oxfam’s nationwide month-long music festival and, like a mini Camden Crawl, takes just one wristband to gain entry to all venues (capacity allowing).
MTV Music Awards nominee Rox headlines at The North London Tavern, while Spring Offensive, Rubicks, Nylo, Phantom, Dansette Junior, Red Drapes and Juan Zelada are also on the line-up – and it’s for a good cause.
Look out for some of Kilburn’s best talents including The Future Shape of Sound and students from the area’s school of modern music The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance.
Oxjam is a music festival with the sole aim of raising money for Oxfam to tackle poverty across the world. The money goes towards helping people earn a living, get an education, health care, fresh water, and grow more food.
Here come the stats – since 2006, more than 36,000 musicians/ comedians/ performers have played to more than 750,000 people at almost 3,000 Oxjam events, raising in excess of £1million for Oxfam.

• Tickets £10 in advance from wegottickets.com or £12.50 on the day.
The wristband exchange will take place at The Tricycle Theatre, 269 Kilburn High Road, NW6.
