One of the most popular features of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival program is back. The Guided Tour at Record Industry, Europe's largest vinyl pressing plant, returns on Friday, October 2nd, and timeslots are now open for booking.

Making Vinyl Europe 2026 takes place ahead of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival and returns to PHIL. Ticket holders get a discount on their HVF Weekend Pass. Together, the two events once again make Haarlem the vinyl capital of the world, at least for one week.

Tickets for concerts by Bente, Bnnyhunna, Hannah Mae, Chef'Special, JOHAN, Mula B, and more are on sale from today.

Among others, pop phenomena Bente and Hannah Mae, jazz and gospel artist Bnnyhunna, and genre-blending narcopop rapper Mula B will make their appearance at Patronaat and PHIL. The Haarlem-based Chef’Special plays a home game, while JOHAN will perform their indie classic Pergola again on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. 247GO, Blanks, Brainteaser Orchestra, and Janne Schra complete the first selection.  

This Saturday is Record Store Day and the vibe around vinyl right now is hard to ignore. Independent record stores across the world are gearing up for one of their best Saturdays of the year, with over 350 exclusive pressings hitting the shelves worldwide.

Did you enjoy the Haarlem Vinyl Festival? Great! Let’s make the 2026 edition even better. We’d love to hear your program suggestions for next year’s edition, taking place on 2, 3, and 4 October 2026. 

Mark your calendars, the hunt for vinyl treasures is back! The Haarlem Vinyl Festival 2026 returns to the city with an extensive program celebrating vinyl culture, sound, and the past, present, and future of recorded music.

The sun is out on the final day of the Record Fair at Dreef (free entry!) and another packed listening sessions program at PHIL, featuring the Haarlem Record Label Market (HRLM), including a repair café, loads of records, and special band shirts.
