ADE's guide to Record Store Day in Amsterdam

Friday, 11 April 2025
Tomorrow is Record Store Day, and Amsterdam’s crates are calling. We’ve mapped out where to dig, browse without a plan, or maybe even stumble across your next favourite find. Most of these independent record stores have been part of ADE for years, and all of them are well worth a visit. And if the needle doesn’t drop tomorrow, it will in October.
