What to expect on the floor

  • Floor mix: crates and dealer tables of LPs, 45s, and reissues — or, for Record Store Day, limited pressings at participating shops.
  • Who it's for: crate diggers with patience and a want list. Skip it if you only buy sealed reissues online.
  • What to hunt this cycle: vinyl & music — check the Heat Index before you set a ceiling.Vinyl heatCDs heat
  • Prep: bring sleeves, a want list, and a way to check condition under bad lighting.
  • Fly vs drive: nationwide event — participation is local, so check which shops near you are taking part.

Record Store Day 2028 — the details

When is Record Store Day 2028?

Record Store Day 2028 has not published final 2028 dates yet. We list Saturday, April 15, 2028 as the expected window based on the show's recurring slot, and we mark it Expected until the organiser confirms. Treat the window as planning-only and confirm on the official site before booking travel.

Where is it?

Record Store Day 2028 takes place in participating stores nationwide. The specific venue is not confirmed in our record — check the official site.

What kind of show is this?

A vinyl event — crates and dealer tables (or, for Record Store Day, a one-day release at participating indie shops). It is part of the Record Store Day series, so the format carries across stops.

What do collectors actually buy here?

Floor mix: crates and dealer tables of LPs, 45s, and reissues — or, for Record Store Day, limited pressings at participating shops. Who it's for: crate diggers with patience and a want list. Skip it if you only buy sealed reissues online. We do not publish table counts or vendor lists we cannot source — the organiser's exhibitor list is the authority.

Is VIP or early entry worth it?

Early-entry and VIP tiers change what is still on the tables when general admission opens, which matters most at vinyl / record event events. We do not list prices or tiers here because they change per edition — check the official ticket page and decide against your own want list.
