Following last year's inaugural edition, the ace Liverpool International Festival Of Psychedelia is returning for a second year.

Hosted again in the city's Camp And Furnace venue from September 27-28, earlybird tickets, a bargain at a mere £17.50, have already gone on sale - get hold of them here and here.

Ahead of the event proper, the festival will be hosting a couple of warm-up events in Camp And Furnace's Blade Factory room. On April 4, there's Leeds space rockers Hookworms, with support from Baltic Fleet, and on April 24, motorik synth-pop trio K-X-P - get tickets here.

Stay tuned to the Quietus and the festival's blog for all announcements on the line-up.
