Independent Label Market is set to return to Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross, on Saturday, May 10.
The event brings together independent music, vinyl culture, artist-craft-makers and local brewers.
The ILM Live Stage will spotlight emerging artists from participating labels, along with label and artist DJ sets. Voices Radio will be broadcasting live DJ sets.
After more than a decade of showcasing independent labels, ILM has revealed expansion plans for 2025. Supported by AIM, the event has joined forces with indie retailer Rough Trade to launch new pop-up markets in Liverpool and Nottingham this year.
Indie labels are the backbone of a city’s music culture
Katarzyna Jaskowska
The ILM market experience will take place at Rough Trade Liverpool (Sunday, June 1) and Rough Trade Nottingham (Sunday, June 15).
The pop-up events will enable fans to meet the teams behind their favourite labels, dig into exclusive releases and vinyl rarities, and celebrate the local independent scene.
Katarzyna Jaskowska, Rough Trade promotions manager, said: "This spring, Rough Trade is excited to bring Independent Label Market to our Nottingham store and new Liverpool venues – two cities with rich independent music scenes. Indie labels are the backbone of a city’s music culture, so it’s a brilliant occasion to celebrate the labels that keep these scenes thriving and give music fans a direct connection to the people behind the records they love."
Full line-up announcements for all three markets will be revealed in the coming weeks.?Entry is free for all events.
