Record Store Day at Slow Boat 2026!!

WELL – our favourite day on the Record Store calendar is rolling around again – Record Store Day this year is on Saturday the 18th of April, and we intend to celebrate it, as ever, in style, with a celebration of music, and independent record stores, and VINYL!!!
As a small gesture towards those hardy souls who have camped out overnight to secure the limited vinyl releases (that we have secured a pretty good supply of!), we will open the store an hour earlier than usual, at 9am, and we will have a bunch of giveaways and prize draws, along with instore performances from MONIKER (the soundtrack/ score branch of The Phoenix Foundation, ahead of the vinyl release of their "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" score!!), along with someone who needs precious little introduction - Mr BRET McKENZIE!!! (I know - right?!)
Will confirm times ASAP - watch this space...!
As per, we will post a video of the RSD titles we have secured as soon as they have all landed, so you can see if what you have coveted has arrived – keep an eye on our socials for updates…!!
We would also encourage you to show your support for Wellington’s other independent music retailers – our pals and neighbours Flying Nun, Newtown’s Creeps, and Herb’s Mobile Record Store – all of us bringing the music to you, the people!!
