Looking to play a slot at the Haarlem Vinyl Festival? This is your chance!

Following recent announcements like the Bring Your Own Vinyl Market and the Venice concert and Q&A, we’re back on Saturday September 27th with The Taste of Cristel Ball, a curated night in collaboration with our friends at Jopen.

Cristel is known for her eclectic vinyl sets and deep knowledge of a wide range of genres and eras. She seamlessly blends punk, hip-hop, and wave without hesitation. A true tastemaker, she has a keen ear for surprising new bands and fresh music, and she’s been with us since the very beginning of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival.

Expect vinyl culture with a twist, and a space to discover exciting new talent from Haarlem and beyond. In previous years, the line-up included standout acts like electronic live project A Spiral Walk, Don Melody Club, Dorpsstraat 3, European Vampire, Morpheus, ROLROLROL, and the princess of post-punk, Vulkano.

The best part? You can be part of this year’s line-up, as we’re issuing an open call for talent once again!
