Record Store Day Black Friday

Limited Record Store Day vinyl releases on Black Friday at independent record shops across the Netherlands.

Record Store Day is not only an April thing. On Black Friday, independent record shops that take part in Record Store Day release a batch of limited vinyl: coloured pressings, reissues and special editions you will not find in the big online stores.

In the Netherlands it works like the spring edition: stock is limited, reservations are generally not possible and it is first come, first served, so fans queue outside their favourite shop. The 2026 release list is now out, with titles such as Florence + The Machine’s Everybody Scream (Chamber Version), Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Live at Tower Theatre Philly 1975, Prince’s 3121 Las Vegas Live and KATSEYE’s The Dance Breaks. Check the Dutch site for the full list, as not every title reaches every country.

  • When: Friday 27 November 2026 (Black Friday), during shop opening hours
  • Where: Participating independent record shops across the Netherlands
  • Tickets: No tickets; you pay for the records
  • Getting there: Use the store locator on the Record Store Day NL site to find your nearest participating shop

Good to know: Some shops open earlier than usual on the day, so check your local shop’s socials for opening times and queue tips.
