The heady summer of 2005 saw the first of a series of legendary takeovers of a Victorian West London travellers‘ rest called Paradise by fledgling record label Trepan Records.

Known as The Great Brain Robbery, the night prescribed itself as sonic therapy for the state of the British music experience - a specialist in showcasing cutting edge new music, interspersed with guerilla appearances from established artists, ground-breaking performance artists and other protagonists.

Almost two decades on, the ethos remains and The Great Brain Robbery programs for music festivals across the UK: Wilderness, Standon Calling, One Night Records: Lockdown Town / Snake Oil, Secret Garden Party, Curious Arts Festival, How The Light Gets In, Portobello Live.

This year at Wilderness, The Great Brain Robbery presents EIGHT MILES HIGH – a psychedelic Sunday vibe with hotly-tipped Welsh psych-rockers CVC headlining and support from fellow retro revivalists FRANCES & THE MAJESTIES and BALLIN’ JACKS with brain robber GUS ROBERTSON on the decks throughout.

Forget everything you think you know – this is The Great Brain Robbery!
