Classic Album Sundays. Colleen will

listen to an expertly curated selection of

albums on the fi nest hi-fi equipment.

THE VENUE

With so many different areas and such

a stunning post-industrial look,

organisers have found the ideal venue

for The Vinyl Festival. The Printworks

opened in January this year, and has

already become the most talked-about

music venue in London. In March,

Gorillaz took over the space for a

secret gig, when Damon Albarn’s

cartoon troupe performed their new

album Humanz, with guests including

Noel Gallagher, De La Soul and

Jean-Michel Jarre.

In April, The Printworks celebrated

the 40th anniversary of Studio 54,

the iconic New York club, with a

performance by the 500-strong Some

Voices community choir.

In July, Afropunk will take over the

venue for its two-day We Are The

People festival, with Lianne La Havas

and Thundercat headlining.
