Debuting last year, WRONG Festival returns this April for its sophomore outing – featuring even more weird and wonderful rock music.

The one-day (and night) event takes over Liverpool’s Docklands to offer up a whirlwind of noise from the likes of headliners Future of the Left, plus Japan’s Damo Suzuki,Manchester’s Gnod and Liverpool’s own Mugstar, as well as familiar faces from the so-called freakscene in Kagoule, Spectres, Bilge Pump, Alpha Male Tea Party and Sex Swing.

With over 30 bands spread across three venues – the Invisible Wind Factory, the North Shore Troubadour and Drop the Dumbulls – it promises to be another noisy and energetic outing.
