A small festival which takes over the venues of Wakefield every year, the Long Division Festival was launched by the fanzine Rhubarb Bomb in 2011. Since then it has brought some truly huge names to Wakefield and given the city an opportunity to showcase its many venues whilst also celebrating independent music and culture and the spirit of DIY.
