Cooking Vinyl, one of the UK’s leading independent labels will be taking to the decks, going head to head with the UK arm of US indie Jagjaguwar, guaranteeing a unique mix of music from two top independent labels.
Cooking Vinyl Meets Jagjaguwar will see DJ sets from Jagjaguwar’s Hannah Overten plus artist Wolf People, and Cooking Vinyl’s Allie Bailey (Last Resort) and Ali Valium (Leeds Festival), plus artist The Orb.

A strict guestlist will be in operation on the night, so everyone wishing to attend should be sure to register in advance.
