Vinyl, Rarities and Neighborhood Night: The Record Fair in Ückendorf
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, Bochumer Straße 148 in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf will transform into a meeting point for vinyl enthusiasts, collectors, and the curious. The record fair by NEWGOLDDREAM runs from 3 PM to 9 PM and brings used LPs, EPs, Maxis, and singles into a unique industrial hall with a creative atmosphere.
Browsing with Character
Up to 30 exhibitors are expected. Those looking for special pressings, familiar classics, or forgotten finds will find an shopping experience with a genuine market atmosphere here. Direct exchanges with dealers and private sellers are part of the experience, as well as discovering records that often don't appear online.
Vinyl Culture Meets Neighborhood Night
The fair coincides with the neighborhood night KOMMSE ÜCKEN?! in Gelsenkirchen. This creates a vibrant environment on Bochumer Straße with pubs, studios, drinking halls, and other spots in the Creative Quarter Ückendorf. The evening connects music, community, and urban neighborhood culture within short distances and plenty of movement in the area.
A Location with Special Profile
The venue is an industrial hall at Bochumer Straße 148, which is also linked to the BAUhalle project in the future building materials fair Gelsenkirchen. This gives the record fair an authentic backdrop between revitalization, craftsmanship, and new usage. A supporting program is currently in development, with Haru Specks confirmed as the record player and vinyl preacher.
Arrival and Environment
Bochumer Straße in Ückendorf is connected to public transportation; stops and line connections are available in the area. For visitors arriving by car, early arrival is recommended due to the location in a densely populated district. The city of Gelsenkirchen is advancing a comprehensive urban renewal project around Bochumer Straße, including barrier-free expanded stops and improved quality of stay in the street space.
Conclusion
The record fair in Gelsenkirchen promises an afternoon and evening full of vinyl finds, direct conversations, and a special neighborhood atmosphere. Those who love used records and want to experience the interplay of market, music, and neighborhood culture should not miss this date live.
