Wallet feeling a bit heavy lately? Well, it's time to lighten it. The vinyl-digging event of the year is back.


Record Store Day returns, that annual pilgrimage for music lovers held worldwide during the last week of April to celebrate analogue music culture and independent record shops. This year it lands in Bangkok as Record Fest BKK, scaled up and more diverse under the concept ‘SPIN THE CULTURE.’

The main draw? The Collector Garage zone, where enthusiasts with serious stashes showcase their prized possessions and pass them on to new owners hunting for rare finds. We're talking vinyl records, tapes, CDs and music lifestyle merch. This time, more than 40 booths are taking part, plus record labels debuting their latest vinyl releases at the event for the first time.

The event packs in mini concerts, DJs, fan sign sessions and workshops. Another highlight is the Talk Sessions hosted by DJ Sonny.

Workshop fans can try their hand at making NFC keychains and painting vinyl records. You can also swing by the Vinyl Library to test out record players and borrow rare albums from the Public Relations Department's archive of over 500 records.

Tickets at the door cost B200.

Fancy it? Drop by from April 24-26, from 10am-10pm at NEX HALL, fifth floor, Siam Paragon, for three full days of proper vinyl heaven.
