As the festival season dawns upon us once more, what better time to take a look around at what the UK has to offer?
Long Division is a music and DIY arts festival spawned by the Rhubarb Bomb fanzine based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Now in its third year, it’s gathering more and more momentum with growing popularity and Arts Council funding. The Fall and breakout talent Ghostpoet will be headlining a day of music on Saturday 8th June, with Yorkshire writer Simon Armitage (and his band, The Scaremongers) leading an arts-fuelled Sunday for the Long Division Fringe.
Dean Freeman, the mind behind the festival, discusses the highlights of this year’s event and what exactly makes Wakefield so special.
Long Division runs from 7th – 9th June, tickets are available for £20. Fringe events are free or priced individually.
