Vinyl is back and its popularity is still on the rise. One week last December, vinyl sales in the UK resulted in more revenue than that of downloads, which just goes to show how many LPs are being picked up each week in the UK.
Ian Peel, the editor-at-large and founder of Long Live Vinyl, whose publisher is organizing the event, said: “The Vinyl Festival celebrates the very best of the format we all love, and is exactly what our readers have been crying out for. We’re incredibly proud to bring you everything from a massive record fair to some of the UK’s finest indie labels and some top headline DJ performances, all under one roof.”
If you’re into collecting your favorite albums and singles on vinyl, this is the place to be!
