The last Long Division sold out, with the festival regularly attracting about 4,000 gig-goers to its all-dayer alongside its fringe events and music education programmes.

The event is a spin-off from the Live at Leeds multi-venue all-dayer which has previously showcased acts such as Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, The 1975 and The Staves over its 15-year history.

The event was advertised as a “pedal steel all-dayer” – something you would usually be unlikely to see outside of Nashville.

The Bristol and Berlin-based publication is one arm of the local collective that runs this annual, multi-venue all-dayer, and Crack’s uncompromising editorial informs Simple Things’ feel.

And it wasn’t a short battle, it was an all-dayer.’
