Wakefield’s Long Division festival, which celebrates an independent, DIY ethos, has announced Los Campesinos! as one of its first acts for 2016.
“For me 2015 was the best Long Division yet – I certainly had the most fun of any Long Division,” organiser Dean Freeman says.
“But afterwards, I did wonder if it could ever happen again – these are tough financial times. But then there was this huge response to the Crowdfunder, which just blew my mind. The passion people have for Long Division was amazing. And now, I’ve never felt more invigorated about the festival. And I’ve never dashed around the country meeting people who want to get involved so much either.”
“It’s incredibly exciting and I can’t wait to announce more bands in February.”
Long Division plans to host 90 bands across seven venues in Wakefield city centre between 10th–12th June 2016.
