The second edition of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival took place at more than 35 locations in Haarlem and attracted over 20,000 visitors with more than 200 artists and speakers. PHIL is a partner of the festival and was the main venue, featuring a comprehensive, largely free program; listening sessions, talks, workshops, performances, and DJ sets. The festival concluded with a two-day international conference for players in vinyl production.
