For those who need more than one fix a year, Recordplanet organises other record fairs in Amsterdam, Hoorn and Haarlem, with 2025 dates yet to be confirmed. Their flagship event is the Mega Record & CD Fair, held twice a year in Den Bosch, which is one of the biggest record and CD fairs in the world. The next edition is on November 9-10, 2024, so if you like what you see here, make sure you mark your calendars!
