Just when you thought you couldn't get any more for your money ...

Atop the Friday night hometown return for The Cribs (& not forgetting their U18 show that afternoon) and Saturday's headline show from The Wedding Present ably supported across the town during the day from 70+ acts including Toy, Gruff Rhys, Cowtown, Roddy Woomble, Allusondrugs and such like the good folks at Long Division have now announced the events that will make up the festival's Sunday Fringe.

21 venues throughout Wakefield will be pressed in to service between 11am and 8pm, playing host to such events as the King Street Krawl (local labels Philophobia Music, Clue Records and Of National Importance Records + promoter Sticky Shoes combine to highlight Wakefield's secret musical street), theatre, the recording of a live album by Piskie Sits which will be available to purchase straight after the show (a particular highlight when previously undertaken last year), craft & food stalls, an industry discussion panel and a host of other art, critical and cultural activities.

Full fringe details can be found here along with links for ticket purchasing and the full Saturday line-up.

The Association of Independent Music revealed, last night at an exclusive launch at Red Bull Studios London, the nominees for the 4th annual AIM Independent Music Awards.

Nominees include FKA twigs, Arctic Monkeys, Bonobo, Twin Atlantic, Courtney Barnett, Gruff Rhys, Liars, East India Youth and Future Islands. London Grammar take the lead on this year’s awards with four nominations including 'Best Live Act' and 'Independent Breakthrough of The Year'.
