KÖLNER SCHALLPLATTENBÖRSE

Vinyl has enjoyed unflagging demand among collectors and music lovers for years, and even the CD refuses to die out despite digital streaming services.

On Sunday, September 6 through December 27, records of all musical genres will take center stage at Cologne’s Mega Record & CD Fair, held throughout the Stadthalle.

Unlike the prices for new vinyl releases in regular stores—which are already quite high—the prices here are still reasonable. Even the latest vinyl records, fresh off the press, are surprisingly affordable. Music DVDs, collector’s items, and fan souvenirs round out the fair’s offerings.

So, music fans, be sure to mark your calendars: Cologne Record Fair at the Stadthalle, Jan-Wellem-Str. 2 (Wiener Platz subway station).
