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.
