ILM London: Saturday 20th May
At Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross with
London Brewers’ Market
Hot on the heels of the Independent Label Market: Manchester which took place at the iconic New Century in Manchester last weekend, ILM is thrilled to announce the return of its flagship London event to Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross on Saturday 20th May.
The London Spring event features the gold standard of independent labels in the UK alongside the exciting newcomers including !K7, [PIAS], 4AD, BBE, Because, Bella Union, Big Dada, Cherry Red, Chess Club, Earth, Fire, Ghostly International, Hospital, Late Night Tales, Ninja Tune, Nonclassical, One Little Independent, Partisan, Rough Trade, Sonic Cathedral, Strut, We Are Busy Bodies, Olindo, Mais Um Discos, Practise Music and many more. Together, they’ll present their finest releases as vinyl rarities and test pressings as well as extended back catalogues, signed merchandise and advance copies.
They’ll be joined by artists and craft makers in The Craft Makers Corner including Spelling Mistakes Costs Lives, Hand Jazz, Kam Creates, East London Printmakers and Dan Jamieson.
ILM is excited to be partnering with One Minute Brief (OMB) for the first time.

ILM will be joined by the excellent London Brewers’ Market who will bring London’s finest brewers representing the thriving Artisan Beer Scene including Against The Grain, Exale, Five Points, Forest Road, Gan Yam, Orbit, Signature and Two Tribes.
The Spring Market will be soundtracked by artist and label DJ sets throughout the day on a heavyweight soundsystem courtesy of Audio Gold – London’s premier second hand Hi fi retailer specialising in unique equipment from wind-up gramophones to Wi-fi radios. The new ILM Acoustic Live Stage also makes its return whilst ILM hits the airwaves with a line up of live DJ sets broadcast directly from the Kings Cross community radio station, Voices Radio. Fuelled by London’s vibrant creative scene, Voices Radio champions inclusivity and diversity, streaming grassroot talent alongside established artists live every week Tuesday-Sunday from their studio on Lower Stable Street.
After a full day at Coal Drops Yard, ILM takes the afterparty to one of its favourite Kings Cross haunts, The Standard where DJ sets continue into the night.
