THANK YOU, PLAY! 🍭🔥
What a weekend.
We heard so many incredible sets, saw The Candyshop packed throughout the day and received an unbelievable amount of compliments about the music, the atmosphere and everything we built around it.
Seriously: Thank you. ❤️
A huge thank you to Play! Events for trusting us with our own area again and giving Save the Vinyl a place at this beautiful festival.
Special thanks also go to Valhalla Soundsystem for delivering the sound. And judging by the way that bass travelled straight through our bones, they definitely understood the assignment. 😅🔊
And of course Hofma Events for making The Candyshop look exactly the way it should with the lighting. 🍭✨
We hope everyone who managed to grab a cotton candy from the machine at our area enjoyed their little sugar break between the kickdrums.
There was really only one improvement point…
We needed a bigger shed. 😂
The amount of people showing up for our area was more than we could have hoped for. Seeing The Candyshop absolutely packed was probably the biggest compliment we could have received.
And apparently you liked the merch too; our Save the Vinyl merchandise at the Hard-Wear stand sold out during Play! 🔥
Missed out? It’s still available online through Hard-Wear and in their store in Enkhuizen.
To all artists, visitors, crew members and everyone who helped make this happen:
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE CANDYSHOP WHAT IT WAS.
Now there’s only one question left…
Should Save the Vinyl host an area at Play! again next year? 👀💿🍭
Greetz,
