The Fira Internacional del Disc de Barcelona is an annual fair that brings together music lovers and collectors devoted to physical formats. Amidst vinyl records, illustrated sleeves and the scent of old cardboard, seasoned veterans mix with curious first-timers, all on the hunt for that unexpected gem to add to their shelves. It’s a place for digging, for letting yourself be surprised by a legendary poster, a specialist book, or a vinyl you never thought you’d find. It’s far more than a giant shop: live DJ sets played exclusively on vinyl, book launches, and sometimes small acoustic performances all add to the experience.

This is good to know

From collector’s “gems” worth hundreds of euros to bargain boxes where you might stumble upon real treasures, there’s something for every music enthusiast.
