Pixies , Courtney Barnett , Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, and many more are among the first artists confirmed for this year's Cassette Store Day.

The deadline for submissions has also been extended until 5 September. Cassette Store Day is 8 October.

London's festivities will be taking place at Lion Coffee + Records in Claption. There will be live performances and DJ sets, with an afterparty at the Old Blue Last hosted by Seventy Times 7.

Cassette Store Day was founded in 2013 by Kissability, Sexbeat, and Burger Records, and expanded across the planet in 2015 - this year will feature official participation from Mansions And Millions/Späti Palace in Germany, Balades Sonores in France, and VSI from Japan.

Jen Long (Kissability co-founder) says of the 2016 celebrations: “Every year around spring the emails and questions begin - will there be another Cassette Store Day? When will it happen? Can I put out a tape? For a supposedly dying format there’s still so much love and life for those little bits of plastic. I know come October there’ll be another special release list and days of celebration planned around the world. Vive le cassette! as our partners in France might say.”



Burger Records add: "When we completed Cassette Store Day 2015 we went back to the drawing board. We said 'We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's best Cassette Store Day. 2016 will be that year. Better than it was before. Better... stronger... faster.'"
