You may have already kicked off your festival experience on Friday with a Guided Tour at Record Industry, caught Joris Voorn's captivating opening keynote at PHIL, and even indulged in some prog rock while exploring the scenic Doopsgezinde Kerk (INHALO). Perhaps you danced the night away at the Haarlem Vinyl Festival Opening Set by Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, set against the backdrop of an exceptional custom Klipsch sound system at Jopenkerk.

11 AM
Claim your complimentary coffee at The Coffee Spot and venture into the Nieuwe Groenmarkt market to hunt for that elusive vinyl gem.

Lunchtime calls! Head over to PHIL Café for a live performance and a satisfying meal. Alternatively, check out the tempting Haarlem Vinyl Festival lunch deal for wristband holders at Jopenkerk while entrusting your vinyl record to Miss Twist for a first live listen.

PHIL is buzzing with excitement, so why leave? Will it be "Our Life in 10 Records" by DeWolff, the Tröckener Kecks film premiere, or Classic Album Sunday with Colleen Murphy and Ken Scott discussing David Bowie's "Aladdin Sane"? Catch a glimpse of the signing sessions in the foyer.

You're now in that weird space where you have been digesting some princess punk, electronics and on top of that Dorpsstraat 3 is about to hit that new wave spot.
