Haarlem Vinyl Festival starts this Friday, and with more than 25 locations across the city, nobody gets to see it all. Here are 11 performances worth planning your weekend around, from a home game at PHIL to cumbia in a Skatepark.

Tickets and the Weekend Pass are available here .

There is plenty to do this weekend besides listen. 12 programs where you actually pick something up, from the floor of a pressing plant to a pair of Technics, with someone on hand to fix your turntable while you are at it.

Hip hop is built on memory. A break pulled from another record. A bar answering one written twenty years earlier. A story passed down, flipped, exaggerated, challenged and told again.

Across Haarlem Vinyl Festival, that cycle runs through the weekend: from vinyl culture and the records behind the music to thirty years of hip-hop history, landmark albums and the artists pushing Dutch hip-hop forward right now.

Sixty-five vendors on the Grote Markt, a sealed stock of records nobody has seen yet, a shop opening its doors for the very first time. Here are ten places to spend your money this weekend.

Vinyl is made for listening, but this weekend it turns up on screen and on the walls too. We've picked eight programs for when you want something to look at while you listen, starting the night before the festival officially opens.

There's one room at the festival where the smartest thing you can do is nothing at all. No dancing, no talking over the track, no reaching for your phone. A record and a system built piece by piece to stay out of your way. That's the Warmerdamzaal this year, hosted by BarcaNova Records.

Three days celebrating vinyl culture on the Grote Markt and at PHIL, Patronaat, and more than 30 other stages and venues across Haarlem's city center.

Without windmills no U2? There is no hard evidence to support this claim, but the fact remains that Windmill Lane provides a strong foundation for the four young, ambitious Dubliners to conquer the world.
