Nestled along Pakington Street, the Geelong West Town Hall has big music history in GTown, making it the perfect location for this Big Dig. It’s had some pretty impressive acts playing the red velvet curtained stage. In the 80s The Fall and Wire graced the stage, and in 1990 Faith No More played their epic (get it) The Real Thing tour with the Cosmic Psychos as support.
Bidding farewell to the mundane and predictable, the Big Vinyl Dig invites attendees to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, with over 50% of the stalls featuring first-time vendors, interstate traders, and special guests. Gone are the days of sifting through worn-out stock and familiar faces; instead, prepare to be captivated by the thrill of uncovering hidden treasures at every turn.
Inside those hallowed halls you’ll find an expansive array of top-tier LPs, CDs, and 45s spanning across genres and eras. From vintage classics to modern masterpieces, this is a dross-free zone, ensuring that every record on offer is a bona fide gem waiting to be unearthed.
Admission to the Big Vinyl Dig is absolutely free for all, with convenient complimentary parking available just across the road. As attendees immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the event, they’re encouraged to channel the spirit of Cyrus from “The Warriors” and ask themselves, “CAN YOU DIG IT?” It’s more than just a question; it’s an invitation to indulge in a record fair experience like never before.
