After the sellout success of Long Division 2011, Indie Fanzine 'Rhubarb Bomb' and leading Wakefield Music Venue 'The Hop' have this week announced the return of the multi-venue music festival in 2012.

The all day event on Saturday June 2nd will take place across 9 venues including two stages at The Hop, Wakefield Theatre Royal, Wakefield Town Hall, a Grade II listed Chapel, an Orangery and the thousand capacity Black Flag venue. The unique range of venues promises special, unique and, in some cases, very intimate gigs.

Special one-off events will take place on the Friday and Sunday, details to follow shortly.
