Having rammed Brixton's Windmill to the rafters in 2009, Brainlove Festival continues to go from strength to strength. Distinguished by a carnival atmosphere, a packed out crowd and a cavalcade of sonic creativity, the festival has doubled to two days for 2010 with 40 bands packed into the lineup on indoor and outdoor stages.

BRNLVFSTVL 2010's first outdoor lineup has been released – featuring a sunset performance from Oxford's We Aeronauts, a rare and precious UK performance from Icelandic troubadour Svavar Knutur, an improvised cello performance from Bleeding Heart Narrative's Oliver Barrett, Norwich's twee DIY duo The Middle Ones, arch pop from the Woe Betides, acclaimed Oxfordian blues man David G. Cox, DIY uke hero Jam On Bread, comedy from Chris Boyd (who we saw just before Josie Long at last year's Green Man Festival) and lots more…

Also headlining are acts including the extraordinarily talented David Thomas Broughton, and Drum Eyes, who's lineup includes DJ Scotch Egg and members of Boredoms and Power Up.

Previous BRNLV events have featured early shows from the likes of FUCK BUTTONS, SCROOBIUS PIP, BISHI, THE RESEARCH, INTERNET FOREVER, GAGGLE, GAY AGAINST YOU and AGASKODO TELIVEREK, so you can try and spot the bands on the lineup who are on their way to wider acclaim and appreciation in 2010.

Tickets are on sale now via Wegotickets. Weekend tickets are just £20, working out at 50p per band, and day tickets are priced at £12.
