The mega record and CD fair will be held from November 14th to 16th at Brabanthallen in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. RecordPlanet, the organizer, has over 30 years of experience hosting the event. They describe the world’s largest vinyl fair as a gathering that spans an area larger than two football fields.

Traders will arrive from across Europe, as well as from the USA, Japan, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, and South Africa. Physical recordings of all genres are welcome — from speed metal and South African jazz to krautrock, Cape Verdean folk, or German techno.

Each edition attracts thousands of vinyl and CD enthusiasts. But the fair is more than just a place to buy and sell — it’s the ultimate meeting spot for music lovers to share their passion.

In addition to the record stands, RecordPlanet also organizes auctions, listening and signing sessions, exhibitions, book presentations, and live performances. In the words of the organizers: “The true Vinyl Valhalla – this is sacred ground.”

Traditionally, vendors set up their stands on Friday, which also provides an opportunity for networking and exchanging ideas with industry professionals.
