The Taste of Cristel Ball
Cristel is known for her eclectic vinyl sets and deep understanding of different genres and eras, mixing punk with hip-hop and wave without blinking. She also has a great ear for surprising bands and new music. Expect vinyl culture with a twist and a place to discover fresh talent from the Haarlem area and beyond. Last year's line-up featured exciting acts, including the electronic live duo A Spiral Walk, the punk/synth-wave band Dorpsstraat 3, and princess post-punk by Vulkano. The best part is: you can be part of the line-up as we're issuing an open call for talent again.

(J)Open Call for Talent
Just like last year, we would like to present a stage for local talent. Artists and acts from the Haarlem area can submit their work, send us your demos, and have a chance to win a slot at the Haarlem Vinyl Festival. Submit your music and motivation* by August 1st via info@haarlemvinylfestival.com.

Last year, we had none other than Hiqpy playing the opening slot of The Taste of Cristel Ball. You might have spotted them around festival line-ups, and they were awarded Record Store Day NL talent. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and submit your music to have a chance of playing the Jopen x Haarlem Vinyl Festival stage @ PHIL on September 28th.

*Live acts / own material only.
