April 2026: Record Store Day, New Arrivals, Listening Parties & Gigs

Spring is here, the days are getting longer, and Record Store Day is back — it must be April at Spindizzy Records Dublin.

Welcome to this month’s round-up of new vinyl releases, in-store events, listening parties, and all the latest from the shop.

🎤 In-Store Events, Signings & Listening Parties

April has already been packed with incredible moments in-store.

We were thrilled to welcome Thundercat, who dropped in to sign copies of Distracted on release day ahead of his Vicar Street show. Belfast cyber-punk duo Chalk also joined us to sign copies of Crystalpunk.

It’s also been a huge month for listening parties, with fans getting early spins of upcoming albums from Melanie Martinez, Good Kid, and Robyn.
