The Sound of Watford 2026

Watford’s bustling music scene is alive and well.

Watford’s Record Store Day celebrations are now in their 12th year and are celebrated a little differently than other towns across the world. They started as an event by The LP Cafe and have now grown into a day of free music across the borough, with the help and partnership of Watford Borough Council and West Herts College.

The LP Cafe:
173 The Parade, WD17 1NJ
