Vinyl lovers will soon have a place to gather and celebrate their passion as the world's first festival dedicated to them is coming in 2023. Haarlem Vinyl Festival will be hosted in The Netherlands' city of Haarlem, only minutes away from Amsterdam, towards the end of September that year.
Haarlem is the perfect spot to launch one of the planet's premier vinyl festivals, appealing to music fans worldwide. The city has a plethora of artists and venues as well as the Record Industry - an incredible establishment that produces more than 11 million records each year!
Haarlem Vinyl Festival focuses on vinyl fairs and will feature a diverse selection of art, culture, and live events featuring over 100 performers. The three-day festival celebrates various music genres, from hip-hop artists to turntablists to electronic acts.
With its inaugural event approaching, co-founder and former Amsterdam Dance Event director Richard Zijlma is anticipating approximately 15,000 visitors for 2023's festival.
From September 29th to October 1st, 2023, Haarlem Vinyl Festival will envelop the city with live music and DJ sets in various "unique venues" across Haarlem. It's not only about performances, though; there'll also be a record fair, music panel discussions, automatic pop-up shows around town, plus an educational program full of audio listening sessions that explore vinyl art and culture!
Join the party for three days, day and night - Haarlem Vinyl Festival promises to deliver something special from every corner of the city!
