Something for all the vinyl heads out there.
The art of crate digging is alive and well once again, and The Dig is the brand new event to prove it with local stores catering to OG hiphop heads, collectors looking for that rare find and DJs after a fresh haul for their Friday night set.
Presented by ALWAYS LIVE and Record Store Day Australia and taking place on Saturday, November 5, The Dig is shining a spotlight on Victoria’s independent record stores with a day of celebrations across the state as part of AusMusic Month.
