Vinyl Festival cancelled
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 27 July 2017
An event claiming to be the UK’s “first vinyl festival” has been cancelled. The Vinyl Festival was due to take place in September, but has been pulled “due to unforeseen circumstances”.
Billed as an “immersive vinyl experience”, the event was to take over London’s Printworks venue with 100 stalls for indie labels and other record sellers to sell records, plus a team of vinyl evaluation experts on hand. Huey Morgan, Tim Burgess, Edith Bowman and Steve Lamacq were also booked to do live Q&As and DJ sets. This opportunity to go into a room and mainly buy vinyl would only have set you back £40. Bargain.
In a statement yesterday, organisers said: “Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Vinyl Festival due to take place on 23 and 24 Sep. It’s been a tough decision to make but sometimes even with the best laid plans these things happen”.
Maybe they can have another go next year and bill it as the ‘Vinyl Festival revival’.
