Guided Tour Record Industry — Vinyl Pressing Plant

One of the most popular features of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival program is the tour of Record Industry, the largest vinyl pressing plant in Europe. A limited number of tickets for Friday, October 2 are now available.

Record Industry is a unique place. Located in the Waarderpolder on the outskirts of Haarlem, the factory is the only pressing plant in the world where the entire production process takes place under one roof. From mastering and cutting to printing, pressing, and packaging, everything happens in the 6,500 m² factory, which is known worldwide for its high-quality pressings.

During the one-hour tour, you get an exclusive look behind the scenes of vinyl production. You will see the machines in action and learn all about the production process. Who knows, you might even spot your favorite artist's new album while the presses are running!

Tickets for the tour cost €7.50 per person and are available here . Weekend Pass holders can book a time slot directly via their Stager account; the tour is included in their pass.

Capacity is very limited and the tours sold out quickly, so don't wait too long to book your ticket.
