Music lovers and crate diggers are in for a treat this weekend as the Cork Vinyl Tour rolls into town, bringing thousands of records to two locations.
Taking place across Saturday, May 9th and Sunday, May 10th, the travelling Cork Vinyl Tour will set up in the city and down east, offering a rare opportunity for vinyl enthusiasts to browse an extensive and eclectic selection.
The tour kicks off on Saturday in Wilton at the SMA Hall, running from 11am to 4.30pm. It then moves east on Sunday to Midleton, where the Midleton GAA Hall will host the event from 12 noon to 5pm.

Organisers promise more than 12,000 records available across the weekend, spanning LPs, 12-inch singles, 7-inch records, CDs, box sets, and rare finds. Whether you’re chasing a first pressing, filling gaps in your collection, or just browsing for something unexpected, the fairs aim to cater to all tastes and levels of experience.
The genre spread is broad, covering everything from rock, indie, and alternative to hip hop, jazz, soul, funk, and blues. Fans of electronic music, reggae, psych and prog rock, as well as Irish folk and world music, will also find plenty to explore.
Early arrivals are likely to benefit most, with organisers offering early bird and bundle discounts—an added incentive for collectors hoping to secure the best pieces before they’re snapped up.
In addition to selling, the Cork Vinyl Tour is also open to buying collections, with attendees encouraged to get in touch in advance if they’re looking to sell records.
