SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Utrecht
DESCRIPTION:A record fair on a Thursday? The Kick Off Platenbeurs is Utrecht’s midweek dig\, held on the Vredenburg in the heart of the city\, right between Hoog Catharijne and TivoliVredenburg.

SUMMARY:63rd Mega Record & CD Fair
DESCRIPTION:Record Planet calls this the world’s largest record and CD fair\, and at nearly two football fields of stands in the Brabanthallen\, with dealers from around 30 countries\, it is hard to argue. The 63rd edition runs over a full weekend\, which is just as well: one day is rarely enough. \nSerious collectors go on Saturday morning for first pick; casual browsers can take it easier on Sunday. Expect everything from rare pressings and box sets to crates of cheap CDs. \n\nWhen: Saturday 14 November 2026\, 09:00 to 17:00\, and Sunday 15 November 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: Brabanthallen\, Diezekade 2\, 5222 AK ‘s-Hertogenbosch\nTickets: Online: €12.50 for one day\, €22.50 for the weekend; at the door €15 and €25. Children up to 15 enter free with an adult\nGetting there: Direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal take about an hour; a free shuttle runs from the back of ‘s-Hertogenbosch station\, or walk about 20 minutes\n\nGood to know: Buy online to save a few euros\, and pace yourself: the hall is huge. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Record Store Day Black Friday
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn 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. \n\nWhen: Friday 27 November 2026 (Black Friday)\, during shop opening hours\nWhere: Participating independent record shops across the Netherlands\nTickets: No tickets; you pay for the records\nGetting there: Use the store locator on the Record Store Day NL site to find your nearest participating shop\n\nGood to know: Some shops open earlier than usual on the day\, so check your local shop’s socials for opening times and queue tips. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Rotterdam
DESCRIPTION:Few record fairs have a setting like this. The Laurenskerk is the only medieval building left in Rotterdam’s centre\, a late Gothic church that survived the 1940 bombing\, and for one day its nave becomes what the organisers call the biggest record shop in Rotterdam. \nRecent editions have had around 70 stands\, with dealers from the Netherlands\, Belgium\, Germany and France covering rock\, jazz\, pop\, electro\, disco\, house\, classical and Dutch-language music. Digging for records under Gothic vaults beats a sports hall every time. \n\nWhen: Saturday 19 December 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: Laurenskerk\, Grotekerkplein 27\, Rotterdam\nTickets: Sold via platenbeurs.nl; check the site for the price\nGetting there: Direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal to Rotterdam Centraal take about 40 minutes; the church is a few minutes’ walk from Rotterdam Blaak station\n\nGood to know: Old churches are chilly in December\, so keep your coat on. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Hoogeveen
DESCRIPTION:Hoogeveen’s pre-Christmas fair sets up in De Tamboer\, the town’s theatre on the Hoofdstraat\, and has become a December tradition for record fans in Drenthe. Alongside new and used vinyl from classic rock to current pop\, earlier editions have had thousands of Dutch pirate singles at €2 each\, which is a rabbit hole all of its own. \nIt is a long way from the Randstad\, but worth combining with a winter weekend in the Drenthe countryside. \n\nWhen: Sunday 20 December 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: De Tamboer\, Hoofdstraat 17\, 7902 EA Hoogeveen\nTickets: Entry has been free at previous editions; check the organiser’s site closer to the date\nGetting there: From Amsterdam Centraal allow about two hours by train\, changing at Zwolle; De Tamboer is on the main shopping street in the town centre\n\nGood to know: If Dutch-language pirate singles are your thing\, head there early. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.
