At Record & CD Fair Amsterdam, more than a hundred dealers present a broad and varied selection. Visitors can browse tens of thousands of LPs, singles, 12″ maxi-singles, CDs, and music memorabilia, across every imaginable genre and price range.
From rock, jazz, and soul to hip-hop, metal, punk, electronic music, and Dutch pop. Rare collectors’ items sit alongside affordable second-hand finds in the crates. Every edition brings new discoveries, no fair is ever the same.
Record & CD Fair Amsterdam is for everyone. Seasoned collectors hunt for special pressings and unique releases, while new vinyl fans benefit from the wide selection of well-priced second-hand records and CDs. It’s the ideal place to expand a collection, or simply to start one.
The informal atmosphere invites conversations with dealers and fellow visitors, exchanging tips, and sharing musical stories.
The fair takes place in the Diamond Lounge and Europa Foyer at RAI Amsterdam. These spacious, easy-to-navigate halls offer comfort and an enjoyable visitor experience. Right next to the fair floor is Café Amsterdam, a characterful traditional Dutch brown café where visitors can enjoy food and drinks.
The combination of fair floor and café creates a relaxed setting where music, meeting people, and discovery take centre stage.
