Record Store Day 2026: celebrating vinyl and independent music in Paris

Record Store Day is a worldwide celebration of independent music, held each year in the aisles of record stores across Paris and throughout France. The 2026 edition programmes 14 artists for a day of in-store concerts, built around pop and electronic music.

The 2026 edition honours Nouvelle Vague, an emblematic artist known for bossa nova covers and reinterpreted new wave, in the spirit of musical discovery that defines Record Store Day.

The programme covers bossa nova, disco, French electro, new wave, indie pop, R&B and soul. Record Store Day champions the diversity of vinyl formats and the creativity of independent labels, in support of the broader music industry.
