The first wave line-up also includes local Dutch record stores and talent including Nedda Sou, Thrills in +41, and Amsterdam-based vinyl distribution service, One Eye Witness.

Haarlem Vinyl Festival takes place from September 27 - 29 this year across multiple venues in the city, just 20 minutes from Amsterdam by train.

The festival hopes to welcome more than 25,000 visitors in 2024 to see in another celebration of vinyl culture - a 10,000-person increase from its debut edition in 2023.

This year, Haarlem Vinyl Festival is set to host workshops, talks on production and manufacturing, events, and pop-ups, as well as panels on marketing, art, design, history, and more.

On top of the music and art programmes, the festival is also set to host a Making Vinyl conference, guided tours at Europe’s largest pressing plant Record Industry, and an open-air record fair.
