June 1st-3rd, Wakefield

Last year on a sunny day in June, the normally drab streets of Wakefield were surged upon by indie music lovers from near and afar for the inaugural Long Division festival. Highlights ranged between 8-piece Los Campesinos! getting intense and sweaty on a tiny stage in The Hop all the way to Emmy The Great soothing the souls of hundreds of folk sat in the pews of the historic Wakefield Cathedral. One-day city festivals are all the rage at the moment: cheap, lots of music and none of the hassles of camping, but few have got it as right as Long Division.
