"We’ve missed the last two years because of the pandemic, and with the Wigan music scene being as strong as it is at the moment, it is easily the best in the country.

"This year will be a very special one.”

After a year that saw The Lathums reach number one in the UK album charts, Dave hopes the bands involved with the 12-hour resurrection will follow in their footsteps.

He added: “The fact that the last one at Indiependence included the likes of The Lathums, The Ks and Alias Kid, who have all gone on to big things, it shows how important these events are for showcasing new bands.

"Plus it’s just a brilliant day and night of great new local music and as always it promises to have an amazing atmosphere too.”
